Bobbie mod cap fashion hat blog post banner 2025. In yellow and white.

Summer is winding down and Fall is on its way. We are not quite ready to let go of Summer. How about you?

Today Hattingdon is wearing a cheerful mod cap in a gorgeous yellow with swirls and polka dots in white. This should keep us in a sunny mood.

Vivian named the design Bobbie. We love this hat. Sigh.

How about some poetry? A.E. Housman’s poem reflects on the passing of summer and the introspection it often brings.

When Summer’s End is Nighing

by A.E. Housman

When summer’s end is nighing
And skies at evening cloud,
I muse on change and fortune
And all the feats I vowed
When I was young and proud.

Houseman is regarded as one of the foremost classicists of his age, and one of the greatest classical scholars of his time. Learn more »

Hello there. The Whitney design is a khaki tan and white hat with a matching button and a curious butterfly. Ain’t she sweet?

Hattingdon looks lovely in tan and white, doesn’t she? It turned out to be a lovely colour for her. Vivian was not sure how well it would work with Hattingdon’s brown body, but it did.

We also love love love the butterfly she created to go with the design. Very sweet.

Best wishes. See you again soon.

Happy Fall Colours 2025

Hey there. Thank you for stopping by. Look at this. How delicious are these colors? There are some really nice ones, but not a whole lot that will suit Hattingdon this time around.

Love Lava Falls and Martini Olive. Take a look.

What are your favorites? Any colors that make your heart go pitter patter? We love Samoan Sun and Cool Taupe. Martini Olive looks interesting too.

See you again soon. Love, Hattingdon & Co.

Here is our Hattingdon wearing a lovely, bright summer fashion hat in stripes of hot pink, sky blue, lime green and pure white. She carries a matching pinwheel in the same bright colors. Hattingdon enthusiasts asked to please see this design before we get into Fall. Here she is. Sweet!

Hey, how about a poem while it is still summery? Composed by ©Destinee, here it is. It is called Missing Summer.

Missing Summer

Published by Family Friend Poems, November 2008, with permission of the Author.

The grass so green,
the sun so bright.
Life seems a dream,
no worries in sight.

Tans and tank tops,
laughter and bliss.
Each moment passes
without even a miss.

Friends and cookouts,
memories and laughs.
Good times to remember,
but how long will it last?

The grass soon fades,
leaves begin to fall.
School replaces sleepovers.
Oh, I’ll miss it all.
