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.
