For the past few years I had been trying to make it to my favorite antique store around Christmas and this year it finally happened. They had a really nice assortment of vintage ornaments, but I only ended up getting two.
I also came home with not one, but two hats.
The red one, which at first appeared to be part of another hat, I bought specifically to go with my favorite dress. It's my sole hat that is not a full hat and I'm pretty excited about that for no particular reason other than it's red and has a bow.
The floppy one I debated on, but loved the velvet trim. I do think at one point it had a bow or some other small object on the front since the velvet does have a square impression on it.
Last, found this beautiful scarf with stars, which unfortunately does not photograph well due to being so sheer, and this gloved hand brooch.

What great finds!!! So far I have six vintage hats and one fur headband. The only problem is I don't have anything to wear them with :/
ReplyDeleteIt can be tricky sometimes finding something to wear with them. I feel I've really lucked out with the hats I've found, with the exception of a 30's (I think) one I was given for dress up when I was little and tam o'shanter, all matching at least one thing or other in my wardrobe...of course, if they don't match something then I just have an excuse of needing to sew an outfit to match. :p
DeleteThose hats!!! Love, love, love! The wide brimmed black one is so chic and glamorous, and the red is as pretty as a picture. I adore the scarf (anything star print is always a massive hit with me) and immensely lovely lady's hand brooch as well (and the fun ornaments, too - okay, I'm wild about everything! :)). Really awesome finds (and gifts), sweet Inky. I hope they all bring you happiness for many years to come.
