Cartoon Horses with Hat-titude
Yes, we know, we overlooked Canada Day this year, which is July 1st. With cap in hand, we are here to make amends.
Vivian has made both — pretty hats and cute hats — celebrating Canada throughout the years. We had to use our “way back machine” to gather up some of them. Here are your faves.
It was fun seeing these again. Love love love Charlotte. We are crazy about Shady Lady too. Which ones are your faves?

Hello there, and welcome. “Dia duit” (dee-ah gwit) is the most common way to say “hello” among Irish nationals who speak Gaelic. The greeting literally means “may God be with you.” You can say dia duit to greet people in any setting.
Erin go Bragh means “Ireland forever”. It inspired Vivian to create a very special hat. Here it is.
Hattingdon wears a gorgeous top hat in the colours of “the green and the gold” of Ireland, embellished with a charming shamrock in white. Vivian named the hat “Erin”. There is more below, including a beautiful St. Patrick’s Day poem by Julie Garwood.
By Poet: Julie Garwood
May you always have
A sunbeam to warm you,
Good luck to charm you,
And a sheltering angel
So nothing can harm you,
Laughter to cheer you,
Faithful friends near you,
And whenever you pray,
Heaven to hear you.
May your joys
Be deep and many,
May your heart
be light and glad,
May you have the best
St. Patrick’s Day
That you have ever had.
Thank you for spending time with us. See you again soon.

Hello and welcome. So nice to see you.
Vivian created a new hat for Hattingdon, and it is amazing. It is a Christmas hat featuring a lovely poinsettia she designed. The hat design name — Chrissie. Here she is!
It has a 20’s vibe, doesn’t it? Hattingdon looks quite fetching in it. We have put it on product for you. We are also putting the poinsettia on some product too. It is building a following!
Let’s go.
We have put the poinsettia to work too. By request . . . !

St. Patrick’s Day is officially observed on March 17 each year, though celebrations may not be limited to this date. The significance of March 17 is that — it said to be the date of St. Patrick’s death in the late 5th century — circa A.D. 493.
We are honoring the day with a wonderful classic hat created in “the green and the gold”. We named it Erin.
The word “Erin” is of Gaelic origins, and an Irish word for “Ireland.”
Erin go bragh is an anglicization of Éire go brách, which literally means “Ireland to the end of time.”
