What’s a hat loving girl to do when a hat box calls her name and more importantly is also on sale,
the only possible solution was to follow my heart and bring her home. She also has a smaller sister ,
I have just the right sized hat for her, so maybe she too will follow.
I must admit I fell for the elegant lady with her wonderful large bowed hat and that she is carrying a little
white dog ( like my Raffy , that is if he didn’t dig in the garden and was perfectly groomed). I am guessing
these boxes were sold as decorator items rather than real hat boxes but for me a hat box it is.In fact this
one is now the home for a rather special new hat that will be unveiled when our weather is sunnier and warmer, soon I hope.
To showcase my hat box, I have chosen a black frilled jacket from Harry Who, purchased from a
recycled clothing store earlier in the year and my favourite Moyuru pants .I have teamed these with
a pair of coffee and black mules from Paco Herero that have been with me since the last time this style
made an appearance and a vintage multi-coloured feather chapeau that I purchased in Daylesford , Victoria
at an antique store and a collection of bangles.

Adorable box! And though I am not a hat collector I would no doubt have bought this box too, just because it is so pretty!
Thanks Olga , the box for me will be for my special hats but they could be used for any storage or just for show.
I understand you, Jill … every woman has her "must have" and never ever can resist when finds one in a shop! How could you leave those fantastic babies??? Passion is passion !!! 🙂
Thank you for understanding Dan. I must remember "Passion is Passion", it seems to apply to so much.
Those feathers! Fantastic! I love the colors, textures, and shape – not to mention the bow accent. Thank you so much for sharing with Hat Attack!
Thankyou Judith, the colours of the feathers as well as the style are what drew me to this hat. Always a pleasure to join in Hat Attack.
