National Pink Day 2026

Pink Day blog header

A MEANINGFUL HOLIDAY CELEBRATED ALL OVER THE COUNTRY

It is National Pink Day, June 23, 2026. We chose the Harper hat for Hattingdon to wear for the event. The Harper design features a wide pink oval “saucer” hat with matching pink nosebobs. Let’s go!

Harper was created very early in the Hattingdon cartoon horse series. It is second only to “Curtis the First”. How about that?

Hello and welcome. It is so nice to see you.

Today we have a special treat. Hattingdon models one of her earliest toppers, a vintage saucer hat in black with oval disk and chunky leaf motif.

Hattingdon creator Vivian made it in four colorways — a luscious lavender, grass green, sunny yellow and raspberry pink. She named the design Tracey.

Sweeeeeeet!

Hey! Look at our Hattingdon. Wow. She is really rockin’ it today in a lovely white saucer hat edged in a deep golden yellow, and embellished with a large, vivid pink blossom. Vivian named the hat Fleur.

Happy Canada Day 2024

Happy Canada Day.

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.

History of the Day

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 »

Maple Leaf

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
