Cartoon Horses with Hat-titude
We continue to “March” along this month with some of your favourite hats in green. Who remembers this fabulous fashion hat from 2023? Vivian named the design “Ilona”.
The Ilona design is definitely one of our all time favorite hats. The shape is lovely. And those feathers! Wonderful. Luscious and fun.
We hope you enjoy it and love it as much as we do.
Hello, and welcome to Classic Hat Monday.
Today we have the pleasure of introducing a brand new classic hat.
This design features a gorgeous green hat created in Vivian’s distinctive classic silhouette, and embellished with a decorative line and dot motif in crisp white. She named the hat Eileen.
So fresh looking. What a lovely way to start the week.
Love, Hattingdon & Co.
We greet the first day of the new season with the spring equinox, but what is it, exactly? And why does the first day of spring change? Coming up. But first, a hat.
We decided on a fedora. Hattingdon always looks fine in a fedora. We put in the spring like colors of blue for the sky, yellow for the sun, and green for the um . . . greenery!
The Farmer’s Almanac tells us:
The first day of spring is Monday, March 20, 2023, at 5:24 p.m. EDT. For those of us in the Northern Hemisphere, this was marked by the arrival of the Vernal Equinox (otherwise known as the “First Point of Aries.”).
Vernal translates to “new” and “fresh,” and equinox derived from the Latin aequus (equal) and nox (night).
So what does that mean? Essentially, our hours of daylight—the period of time each day between sunrise and sunset—have been growing slightly longer each day since the winter solstice in December, which is the shortest day of the year (at least in terms of light). Read more »

Hello there and welcome.
When Vivian went to select hats for this post she was astonished to find that we did not have a single hat beginning with the letter “I”. She had to address that right away.
Vivian created two brand new hats! She named the classic hat Ivy and the fashion hat Ilona.
What a lovely hat. Look at this one!
What do you think? Isn’t she a doll? It has a Roaring 20’s sort of vibe going on doesn’t it?
And the name Ilona? Wikipedia (the fount of all knowledge) states:
‘Ilona is a common name in Finland, where it is considered to refer to the Finnish word ilo (“joy”) and ilona literally means “as a joy [to someone]”. It is also common in Latvia, Estonia, France, Lithuania and Poland (formerly in crown union with Hungary).’
Bye for now. See you again soon.
