Summer 2025 begins today

June 20, 2025

Ooh la la! Summer is officially here. Hattingdon has the perfect hat — naturally. She has been wearing it all day long. We named the hat Summer. Take a look.

The Summer design features a fashion hat with a tall, rounded dome and wide brim, all in delicious stripes of deep pink, sky blue, lime green and pure white. Vivian made a pinwheel to go with it. How sweet it is.

Summertime

Summer begins in the Northern Hemisphere on the longest day of the year. Also known as the Summer Solstice, this date officially celebrates a time of year when the sun is warm and the outdoors is the place to be.

Many schools are out of session during the summer, which gives families the opportunity to take vacations — using the time to explore and enjoy the great outdoors camping, hiking, and biking.

Community pools open up. Beaches are open, too. Water adventures in the form of kayaking, canoeing, skiing, and fishing entice us to the rivers and lakes.

Now that it is here, what are you looking forward to most?

The floral pattern created for this hat is so lovely, and suits our Hattingdon “to a T”. Our Hattingdon always looks pretty in pink.

See you again soon.

Hello there. Take a look at this lovely classic hat. We so love the use of purple and lavender together with that sunny yellow. Wow. So pretty. Vivian named the hat Lydia. Are you loving it with us?

We have always been fascinated by the power that color expresses. Learn about the color psychology of purple at Very Well Mind. They tell us:

Open quote in Hattingdon brown.

The color purple is associated with a variety of meanings, including wisdom, creativity, royalty, power, ambition, and luxury. It can also represent magic, extravagance, peace, pride, independence, and wealth.
