Cartoon Horses with Hat-titude
There is little doubt that this is one of Vivian’s all time favourite hats, and for a lot of Hattingdon fans too. It was designed so many years ago, so early on, that none of us, including Vivian, can remember when she created it.
It is a great look. We love love love it.
Totally wonderful. Red, white, and blue always creates a great look? Bye for now. See you again soon.
We are celebrating the 4th of July this year with our vintage Sammie Hattingdon top hat, inspired by the stars and stripes of the United States flag. Wonderful.
We have created a few hats over the years inspired by Old Glory, but this may be the best. Hattingdon certainly looks darling in her Uncle Sam top hat.
Have a wonderful, safe and happy 4th.

First there was Curtis. Then there was Harper. And just before the arrival of the classic hat silhouette, there was Etienne.
Vivian decided to freshen up the Etienne hat . . . . just a little. It looks terrific, doesn’t it? There is something about the combination of red, white and blue.
Well. What do you think?
Oh, the name Etienne is, “A French variant of the Greek name Stephen meaning ‘garland, crown’.”
We love you and wish you a “hatful of smiles”. Stop by again soon. — Love, Hattingdon.
Greetings. We are almost in the homestretch. Only five more posts left in the series after this one. Even though it has been a lot of fun . . . . HOORAY!
As we mentioned, Vivian had only one hat design whose name began with the letter Q — out of all the 100s of designs she has created over the past 13, 14 or more years. Can you guess who it is? You “long timers” might know. (Hint: It is a fashion hat with a nautical theme).
Since the one “Q” hat we had is a fashion hat, Vivian had to get busy creating a brand new classic hat. Wow, did she do a lovely job. She named the hat Quill. How fab is this hat?
Vivian found the name Quill on one of those online baby name sites. You know the ones expectant mothers use to help find a cool and meaningful name for their baby? She certainly would never have thought of Quill as a possible name on her own.
Ahoy! Here is our solitary hat with a name that starts with the letter Q — a sweetheart hat (as Vivian calls this silhouette). As you can see, it is nautically inspired. Vivian named the hat Quinn.
Description: Quinn Hattingdon wears a nautically inspired sweetheart hat in a bold, dark navy blue. The hat’s wide, large, upturned brim is trimmed in red and white, and held in place by a large white anchor.
We have five days remaining, and ten hats. It will go like this:
Monday 23: Letter R
Tuesday 24: Letter S
Wednesday 25: Letter T
Thursday 26: Letters U, V, W
Friday 27: Letters X, Y, Z
Thank you everyone for following along with us. And a BIG thank you to everyone who has been helping Vivian with this project. You are all stars and have done a fabulous job.
