Hello there Hattingdonians. We can hardly wait for Halloween, can you? Especially love the goodies, the parties and fresh crisp air. And dressing up!

Vivian has already made Hattingdon’s costume for the day itself. It is so fun, and brand spanking new. Take a look. Isn’t it “flash?”

Flash.

A “hatful of smiles” from us to you. Love, Hattingdon & Co.

How about some poetry to go with this sweet hat?

The butterfly’s assumption-gown

by Emily Dickinson

The butterfly’s assumption-gown,
In chrysoprase apartments hung,
This afternoon put on.
How condescending to descend,
And be of buttercups the friend
In a New England town!

Oh, by the way, the 14th of March is National Learn About Butterflies Day.

Hugs and kisses, and millinery blisses. Love, Hattingdon.

Cara in black

Hey there. January 2019 is almost done. How has it been for you so far?

Our Hattingdon is on a cruise. A very long cruise. She packed up her hats and went sailing. We’ve been busy in her absence though.

A dear friend of Hattingdon’s who loves the Cara lampshade hat wanted it in black. So Vivian made it for her.

Of course, the hat being solid black was quite fetching looking, but not festive enough. So Vivian embellished it with a golden interior and shiny golden stars on the exterior. Darling!

So, what do you think? We hope it has brightened your day and given you a Hatful of Smiles™!

See you again soon. Hugs, Hattingdon.
