Fantastic Friday to you.Look what I found in a moving box out in the garage! Here we have a beautiful pink Sears and Roebuck Hat embellished with artificial flowers. I'm guessing that she's from around 1960?
I would imagine that in her Hey Day she graced the head of a middle aged woman going to Church or a Wedding. Perhaps she went to a Graduation Ceremony or a Luncheon. Maybe she met the Govenor or was present when there was a new Store Opening. Paid her respects to somebody in the Hospital or decorated graves at the Cemetery. Went shopping for a Baby Gift or found her way to the Bargain Table for a Blow Out Sale at Sears.
At any rate, she's a beauty that has been revived and actively being enjoyed in the year 2009.
Perhaps she could be worn for a costume in a School Play, Theater Production, Church Program or Children's Presentation.
She might frighten the local people if I decided to wear her out and about while grocery shopping. So I won't. Instead my Grandchildren can play dress up and be so happy to have such a hat to wear.
On a more serious note, hats have had their place in History. A covering for the head, usually with a brim and a crown. To cover or protect.
Webster will help me out here.
-hat in hand: in a humble or obsequious manner.
-pass the hat: to take up a collection, as at a meeting.
-take one's hat off to: to salute or congratulate.
-talk through one's hat: to make irresponsible or foolish statements; talk nonsense.
-throw one's hat into the ring: to enter a contest, esp. one for political office.
-under one's hat: strictly confidential; secret.
I probably won't post again til Monday. I have company coming in for the week-end. What 'cha think...should I or shouldn't I wear this gorgeous hat to greet them at the door?
Naw. I'll spare them the embarassment.
You all have a sweet week-end. God Bless you while you make your Home a Haven. No matter how many different hats you wear, don't forget to have fun and laugh.
By the way, my hats off to you for stopping by for a visit.

Deanna,
What a lovely dress up hat for Miss Butterfly; it looks wonderful on
her!
Thanks for stopping by my blog to share your God Moment with us for this week. I will continue to keep your son in my prayers.
Enjoy your company and have a blessed weekend.
Have a wonderful weekend; make lots of grand memories and yes, you should wear the hat! -smile
Deanna,
I believe that you should indeed wear this lovely hat! I wear hats on a regular basis to town, to church, shopping, any where that I go (except for work because we can't wear them there and I get the proverbial 'hat head' so I can't wear them in the car and then take them off once inside the building:). Anyway, I wear new hats of all shapes and styles as well as vintage hats (as far back as the turn-of-the-century). I sincerely think that you would look lovely in this particular hat. There is a secret to wearing hats of any style and that is just to place it stylishly on your head and have a lot of 'hatitude.'
This is a fun post! Have fun with your family this weekend!
Blessings,
Kim
Deanna, I am always so uplifted when your blog opens!!! I love the hat! Your grandchildren will love it, too!
Truly, I wish hats would make a comeback. I would love to wear them! I need to get brave, I guess, and go for it!
Thank you, thank you, dearest friend for your continued prayers and thoughts. I so appreciate you and your friendship.
May the Lord give you a blessed, rich, joyful weekend with your company!
Take care. God is so faithful!
In His Love,
Andrea
Morning, Deanna! Oh, don't you wish that olden hat could talk? It is a pretty one! When I was a little girl, I'm much older than you, I wore hat and gloves to church every Easter! I thought I was so special.
Be a sweetie,
shelia ;)
That hat is beautiful! Love it!
Marmie,
I love this hat. I think we should take a picture of you with it on your head just for grins.
Love you!
Love this post ... wear the gorgeous hat, ABSOLUTELY!! It looks like a 1950s just like Mother's. TTFN~ Marydon
As I have mentioned before I grew up Catholic and we always wore a hat or head covering to church. When I was in school, of course private elem. and HS, we wore little navy blue beanies that we kept wadded up in our pockets so that if we went in for a 'visit' we always had our head covering. I can remember many a time putting a Kleenex and a bobby pin on my head when I wanted to pop in for a visit with Jesus. We lived right next to the church and I spent a lot of time there. We stopped wearing hats somewhere back in the 70's, well after the Vatican Council.
Blessings

Yes, yes! Wear the hat. Take a picture of you in it! Then post it! My sil and I went to a thrift store and saw two vintage hats that were really something. We didn't buy them, but did try them on and have our picture taken in them. I will post it!
Hi Deanna,

Have a good weekend!

Hi Deanna,
I love your pretty pink hat and as much as your little Grandaughter looks ever so sweet, I would wear it.
Lovely to see beautiful old hats like that.
Enjoy your weekend with your guests.

Hi Deanna,
Thanks for stopping by Carolina Panache! I've been away for nearly a month and I'm so glad to catch up with everyone! Love your Hat post! I love hats - don't wear them very often but I would have loved to live in the day when gracious ladies wore them every day - I think hats are so elegant. I like to wear one for Easter Sunday and Mother's Day. :-)
See ya soon.
Warmly,
Alisa
Yes, I do think you should have greeted your guest with the hat on. I remember the days when women wore hats like that lovely pink one.
Thanks for visiting my on Delights of the Heart and saying hello.
I had guests last week from Beloit, Kansas. The picture of your house reminds me so much of houses in Beloit. We lived there once upon a time.
I love the hat and the hatisms!!!
I sure enjoyed your comments.
Perhaps if I can get my photographer to take my picture, I'll get one with the hat on. We shall see!
Love ya,
~D~
