Can you believe it is Thursday already? Time to share progress on my stocking. Now that classes are over I can stitch until my hands cramp up. lol!This photo I found at the flea market Sunday. I was immediately attracted to the hat. What a fancy bonnet! I also wonder why this photo isn't in family album. I also love her clothes and gloves.
Did you happen to catch the Kentuck derby? I wish I would have placed a bet on Mine a Bird,
50-1 odds. What stash I could buy with those winnings! I also like looking at the ladies wearing the fancy bonnets at the derby, some are so outrageous.
That brings me to my hat collection. I thought you might like to look at part of my collection. I have put them on to go to parties, once to a quilt shop that was having "Wear your pretties bonnet" day, to work when we were having a contest. I tried to get Mackenzie to model a few, they look a lot better on. I have some with feathers, and some with bigger bows. I also bought the old vintage wool dress at an auction many years ago. It hangs on the manquin waiting to be worn again one day.
Have a Happy Mother's Day! Thanks for stopping by and leaving comments. Until next time - Happy Stitching!

Great progress on the stocking, Tanya! YGG!
I love the hats. I'd love to wear hats, but I look horrible in them--it comes with having a big melon head, I think.
What great hats!! I love the vintage dress too. They all look so wonderful together! Your stocking is looking good too -- don't those eyelet letters take forever?
Great progress, Tan! Glad that your classes are over, looking forward to seeing lots of stitching pics with lots of progress!!
Those hats are neat@ Wonder who that lady is??

I love those old vintage photos. They always look sooo mad though, it cracks me up. That's very cool that you have a collection of hats. I like the way everybody wears them in England.
Way to go on the stocking, Tanya!!! What a fun hat collection you have and how fun to wear them once in a while. Enjoy classes being done and get lots of stitching done!
