Cartoon Horses with Hat-titude
Adore these ballcaps. Hattingdon always looks cute in a ballcap. And she loves Canada.
Vivian named the striking ballcap design Logan. Which one do you love? They are so cool, aren’t they?
Anyone who knows Vivian already knows the one she has her eye on! Oh, by that way, since there are only two versions, our bet is she will put both on product.
Thank you for stopping by and spending time with us. See you again soon.

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

Hattingdon celebrates Canada Day in a Canadian flag inspired red and white puffy cap with large upturned brim. Vivian named the hat Zoe.
Canada Day is often referred to as “Canada’s birthday”, particularly in the popular press.
Wikipedia, the fount of all knowledge (wink), tells us:
The term “birthday” can be seen as an oversimplification, as Canada Day is the anniversary of only one important national milestone on the way to the country’s full sovereignty, namely the joining on July 1, 1867, of the colonies of Canada (divided into Ontario and Quebec), Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick into a wider British federation of four provinces.
Canada became a “kingdom in its own right” within the British Empire, commonly known as the Dominion of Canada.” End Quote
Best wishes to Canada and all of her wonderful citizens.
