Ladies Globe Trotting Hat?

[dashiell]

lol

Wow, this looks like fun! What a nifty idea!

 

[Vintage Betty]

I credit the men of the Fedora Lounge

For having the gumption to send a hat around the world. What a great group of fellas!

The ladies copied them for their great idea.

Lady Day-

It's my pleasure. I truly enjoy spreading things around when I know they will be enjoyed.

And, for those of you who haven't been following along, Lady Day got a couple extra goodies inside the package too, one of which was the BONUS PRIZE!

So, will be the next winner be our own Katie Brookes, also of California? The clock is ticking...tick tock, tick tock...

PS: Sorry, no more vintage red velvet available! Most of these are one-of-a-kind Prizes!

WOW!! What a prize! They just don't make velvet like they used to. I bet it's lucious!! Congrats!
Perhaps an evening capelet with a maching bag and hat? Rhinestone buttons....

Ooooh, I hope we do this again because I totally want to get in on the hat action!

I go to University of Houston and the original campus buildings are all Art Deco buildings! Houston actually has a ton of Art Deco architecture: http://www.houstondeco.org/

Yippee!

I reallly need to get started on my dress for the Saturday night event on the QM. I've got the "I have barely enough yardage of this expensive fabric so I can't afford to screw it up" jitters. I should just cut into it tomorrow and be done with it.

Oops - I'm blushing. I go out of town and lose all my brains. Sorry

 

[ohairas]
