Bobbie mod cap fashion hat blog post banner 2025. In yellow and white.

Summer is winding down and Fall is on its way. We are not quite ready to let go of Summer. How about you?

Today Hattingdon is wearing a cheerful mod cap in a gorgeous yellow with swirls and polka dots in white. This should keep us in a sunny mood.

Vivian named the design Bobbie. We love this hat. Sigh.

How about some poetry? A.E. Housman’s poem reflects on the passing of summer and the introspection it often brings.

When Summer’s End is Nighing

by A.E. Housman

When summer’s end is nighing
And skies at evening cloud,
I muse on change and fortune
And all the feats I vowed
When I was young and proud.

Houseman is regarded as one of the foremost classicists of his age, and one of the greatest classical scholars of his time. Learn more »

Lollipop classic

In 1908, candy maker George Smith revolutionized the candy world by creating a hard candy mounted on a stick, the first modern lollipop. According to his memoirs, he named the treat after his favorite racehorse — Lolly Pop.

National Lollipop Day is celebrated each year on July 20. It is a day to celebrate hard candy, sweet treats and being a kid.

Hattingdon does not have a “lollipop hat” per se, but she does have a very pretty classic hat inspired by the sweet lollipop Vivian created, seen below.

We named the design Lolly. Hattingdon fans call it the Lollipop hat. That’s cool. Here she is.

Isn’t she sweet? Love love love the colours. Oh. Before we go, here is a bit of lollipop history.

History of the Lollipop

Jon Prince, writing for CandyFavourites.com, states, “The first incarnation of the lollipop was probably created by cave people thousands of years ago, who collected honey from beehives with a stick. Not wanting to waste the sweet nectar, they most likely licked the stick, thus inventing the world’s first lollipop. Good for them (good for us).”

“Archaeologists believe that ancient Chinese, Arabs, and Egyptians all produced fruit and nut confections that they ‘candied’ in honey (which serves as a preservative), and inserted sticks to make it easier to eat.”

What are your favourite lollipops? Let us know. Love, Hattingdon.
