Cartoon Horses with Hat-titude
Delores is one of the earliest hats Vivian designed and created for Hattingdon. The hat now comes in three colors — classic black, luscious pink and just added — a gorgeous lilac.
Oh yeah. Take a look.
She looks absolutely smashing in these hats.
Thank you for spending time with us. We hope it gave you a “hatful of smiles”.

From us to you, have a safe and happy day. We give thanks for all the bountiful goodness we receive, especially our freedom. Our gratitude is great.
Oh, glorious day of freedom won,
With banners high and spirits bright,
We honor those whose deeds are done,
Their courage shining in the light.
The sky adorned with bursts of cheer,
As fireworks paint the heavens bold,
Reminding us of those held dear,
Their stories in our hearts retold.
From sea to shining sea, we see,
The dream of freedom in our eyes.
Oh, Independence Day we hail,
In freedom’s light, we persevere.
This ode celebrates the 4th of July, paying tribute to the courage and sacrifice of those who fought for our freedom. It reflects the collective pride and unity experienced during this special day.

Those who celebrate Canada as their home and native land observe Canada Day on the 1st of July. The day commemorates the anniversary of the Constitution Act, which consolidated three territories into the single nation of Canada in 1867.
We salute this very special day with a very special Hattingdon — a saucer hat in the red and white of Canada’s flag, featuring an exquisitely large and gorgeous maple leaf.
We named the hat “Charlotte”. Here she is.
Charlotte Hattingdon.
Until 1982, Canada celebrated Dominion Day as their national holiday. The day was then renamed ‘Canada Day.’
The history of Canada isn’t splattered with a ton of wars and bloodshed, unlike many other countries. Throughout the mid-1800s, the possibility of unification between the British North American colonies was discussed.
On July 1, 1867, the British Parliament brought the British North America Act into effect, leading to the creation of independent Canada.
The territories within the dominion consisted of Upper and Lower Canada, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick. Through this act, Canada was divided into Quebec and Ontario, allowing provisions for neighboring colonies to join in the future. This is how present-day Canada came into formation. The British North America Act served as the constitution for Canada until 1982. Read more at National Today »
The maple leaf became the central national symbol with the introduction of the Canadian flag (suggested by George F. G. Stanley and sponsored by MP John Matheson) in 1965, which uses a highly stylized eleven-pointed maple leaf, referring to no specific species of maple. Earlier official uses of a maple leaf design often used more than 30 points and a short stem.
The one chosen is a generic maple leaf representing the ten species of the maple tree native to Canada — at least one of these species grows natively in every province. Wikipedia »
Best wishes for a wonderful day!
Love, Hattingdon

Greetings.
This is a very, very early classic hat, and one of our favourites. The colors are marvelous. Let’s start from the top.
The hat’s black dome is patterned in turquoise, magenta, lime and yellow polka dots, followed by a turquoise hatband, and a large magenta brim. Turquoise nosebobs complete the look!
Oh. Just for fun, the technical names of the colors used for the polka dots are dark cyan, magenta, alien armpit and electric yellow.
Alien armpit? Hard to believe, but yes, alien armpit. It is the green we used — hex code #66cc00. What a hoot. It gave us a good ol’ chuckle and we bet it will you too. Read about it here »
You see. We are more than “just pretty hats”. Wink.
