Cartoon Horses with Hat-titude
Hello and welcome to Classic Hat Monday. This week we have a lovely, colorful striped hat in a trio of eye popping rich citrus colors. Ready to see her? Here she is.
We named the design Citrina, a variation of Citrine.
Citrine is a semiprecious, transparent variety of quartz that can be pale yellow to brownish orange in color. It’s the birthstone for November and represents the 13th anniversary.
Happy Monday,
Hattingdon & Co.
On the first day of May this year we gave you a sneak peek at Hattingdon’s newest millinery confection — the “Ariel” butterfly headdress. Predictably, Vivian has created it in a multitude of delicious colors.
Today we show four, with blue, pink, green and purple caps. So let’s go!
How about that for some drama, hat lovers? This golden ornamental butterfly headdress is a stunning look.
Thank you for spending time with us today.

TODAY Hattingdon is wearing a cheeseburger hat. Yes, you read that right — a cheeseburger hat. Bet you did not expect Vivian to do that!
While ruminating on a name, Vivian decided to take a look into the history of the cheeseburger for inspiration. Wow. It was a lot more than anyone expected. See “So who did it?” at the end of the post.
Vivian decided to use the name of the man for inspiration who many believe made the first ever cheeseburger in 1934 in Louisville, Kentucky — Charles Kaelin. Result? Named her Kaylen.
A Quick Bite into the History of the Cheeseburger, by The Dairy Alliance, reports the following:
We have Lionel Sternberger to thank for his invention, or so the legend goes. Much like the hamburger, it’s impossible to know for sure who created America’s first cheeseburger.
Lionel was 16 years old in 1926, flipping burgers at his dad’s restaurant, the Rite Spot, in Pasadena, California. Out of boredom, the teenager slapped a slice of American cheese onto a hamburger frying on the griddle. His dad approved of the creation, and so the cheeseburger was born—though they called it the “cheese hamburger.”
The first sandwich to actually be called a cheeseburger was created in Louisville, Kentucky. Charles Kaelin invented the cheeseburger in 1934 to bring extra flavor to his hamburger offering. But he didn’t trademark it. Nope, that honor instead went to Louis Ballast of Humpty Dumpty Drive-In in Denver, who trademarked the name “cheeseburger” in 1935.
There is much more to this story with a host of variations over many generations concerning who did what — and what it actually was that they did. Then we have this.
The answer to who invented the hamburger is almost as challenging as the cheeseburger. Think we are kidding? Check out the links below. See you again soon.

Greetings. We have been hearing from a lot of you asking us to post more classic hats. We talked about it and agreed that the best way to ensure that we do this is to give the classic hat its own day. We decided on Monday. Why only one day? Because there are not nearly the number of classic hats as there are fashion hats.
We have two wonderful Cecily classics for you today featuring animal print in two distinctively different patterns and colorways.
The first Cecily classic hat features an animal print in gray and teal on a white background with a deep brim in matching gray. Love it.
The second Cecily classic hat was made in a deep, rich golden yellow, patterned throughout with a white animal print that Vivian created. Take a close look you and will see little hearts. Darling.
We hope they brings you a ‘Hatful of Smiles’™.
P.S. Our folks checked and found that we do have enough classic hats to see us through the year. Hooray! — HH
