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”.

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

We are joining in World Social Media Day celebrations this year, June 30th. Hattingdon does not have a hat for it per se — but she has a gorgeous tied head scarf called Skylar. More below. But first, a little bit about the day.
First, there was the telephone, then the fax machine, and then social media — a revolutionary way of communicating. Since its creation, people have been able to connect with each other like never before.
World Social Media Day was launched by Mashable on June 30, 2010. It was born as a way to recognize social media’s impact on global communication and to bring the world together to celebrate it.
Friends and family can connect at any moment, and marketers have been able to reach consumers in an entirely new fashion. In fact, people use social media for an average of 144 minutes every single day. Because of its impact on society over the years, Social Media Day was born on June 30, and it has continued to grow in popularity ever since.”

Now, how about a closer look at the Skylar design. This one is a particular favorite.
She looks as darling as ever. Sigh.
Thank you for stopping by and enjoying a Hattingdon or two with us. As always, we wish you a “hatful of smiles”.
Welcome to another Classic Hat Monday.
The Stacey classic hat design is one of those looks that can be worn for just about any occasion. The three linked squares in pure white across the front of the dome is a wonderfully classy look.
Black and white together always make a crisp, clean fashion statement. We hope you enjoy it.
