Summer Fashion

Summer Hattingdon blog banner featuring a trio of pinwheels.

Here is our Hattingdon wearing a lovely, bright summer fashion hat in stripes of hot pink, sky blue, lime green and pure white. She carries a matching pinwheel in the same bright colors. Hattingdon enthusiasts asked to please see this design before we get into Fall. Here she is. Sweet!

Hey, how about a poem while it is still summery? Composed by ©Destinee, here it is. It is called Missing Summer.

Missing Summer

Published by Family Friend Poems, November 2008, with permission of the Author.

The grass so green,
the sun so bright.
Life seems a dream,
no worries in sight.

Tans and tank tops,
laughter and bliss.
Each moment passes
without even a miss.

Friends and cookouts,
memories and laughs.
Good times to remember,
but how long will it last?

The grass soon fades,
leaves begin to fall.
School replaces sleepovers.
Oh, I’ll miss it all.

Sweet, sunny Solana

Solana Hattingdon yellow flower hat.

Back in 2015, a charming ladies’ gardening club based in Atlanta asked Vivian to create a Hattingdon just for them. She did, and named the design Solana. We had tee shirts made for them, tote bags, greeting cards and mugs. Here she is.

Solana Hattingdon.

Solana is a girl’s name of Spanish origin meaning “sunshine”.

By the way, this darling hat puts us in mind of that George and Ira Gershwin, Heyward Du Bose song — “Summertime”, as sung by Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald. Priceless.

Summertime
And the livin’ is easy
Fish are jumpin’
And the cotton is high
Oh, your daddy’s rich
And your ma’ is good lookin’
So hush
Little baby
Don’t you cry

“Summertime” lyrics ©Nokawi Music.

It is nice to see you here. Come back and see us again soon!

We know it is late in the day and not the optimum time to post, according to those who report on such things. But we thought it would be fun to share this darling hat.

Vivian designed it in 2018, and named the hat Breeze. Isn’t she magnificent? Breeze . . . that is! Wink.

Cool Breeze

Sweltering weather calls for a cool breeze. And we have just that in the form of a fabulous hat we named Breeze. Here’s Hattingdon modeling it for us.

How about a haiku to go with this gorgeous hat? We found this one by MCW at All Poetry.
