June 1st — National Red Rose Day

Oooooh. We just saw a few minutes ago that it is National Red Rose Day. It is late in the day, but we decided to go ahead and post anyway. Update: We began with three hats, and just added a fourth.

How about these gorgeous hats? They were created between 2017 and 2019.

The Jenny Rose Collection

And the pièce de résistance. How about this for a “hatful of smiles”? This is Hattingdon’s most famous red rose hat ever.

One More

Look what Vivian came across on an old flash drive. She doesn’t even remember making it. Hattingdon looks very fetching, doesn’t she? Is that a “come hither look” she is giving? Ha ha ha ha.

Another Day

Oh, look. There is another “National Red Rose Day”, celebrated annually on June 12th. Well, being a Louisville gal, Hattingdon has plenty of red rose hats because of the Kentucky Derby. We got her covered.

Bye for now!

Vivian created a new picture hat for Hattingdon to wear for the 150th running of the Kentucky Derby. It is made with her traditional, signature red roses. Here she is modeling it for us.

Hattingdon has never looked prettier. We are betting she will be prettiest horse at the Derby! Some interesting Derby facts coming up below.

About the Derby

The Kentucky Derby is the longest running sporting event in the U.S. Among the many interesting facts about the Derby are:

The trophy which goes to the winner is made of real gold.
The red rose is the official flower of the Kentucky Derby. There are 554 roses in the winner’s garland, dating back to 1896. Each rose represents the renewal of life and endurance required to finish first in the demanding 1 ¼ mile race.
The rose garland weighs more than 40 pounds.
The Derby has an official cocktail—the mint julep.

Thank you for stopping by and see you again soon.
