~1920's CLOCHE HAT COLLECTION ~

In a room downstairs we have a collection of what we call our ladies sit'n room. Which has items for a woman's vanity along with a couple of glass beaded flapper dresses. There is also a collection of Edwardian hats and cloches with glass beads and metallic trim.

Here is a young bride on her wedding day. Her portrait sits in this bar bola frame from the early 20s. Along with some beautiful white button up wedding boots.

We just bought the vanity mirror, at a sale in Redlands this weekend for a awesome low price.

We found our display case at a wonderful Antique store. We took out the shelves in the case and used old hat boxes to get different heights in it. And then used a couple of mannequin heads and old hat stands for the cloches to set on. We also have some vintage dress trim and lace for the bottom of the case.

This cloche above, I bought at a show in Pasadena the body of the hat is lamae material with glass beads and steel cut beads. I was told by the dealer that the hat came from Paris but who knows.

This hat has some beautiful metallic material and threading on it with flowers.

Some more treasures from our Ladies sit'n room. Are a pair of 1920s shoes they also have some steel cut beads as embellishments.

This hat has ribbon work for the trim of the hat and also made of straw.

This skull cap also has some metallic and crystal beads for decoration on it. Well this is just a small part of the hat collection and we will share more next time. I hope you all enjoy the collection of treasures. I will be linking up for ~ Vintage Inspiration Friday ~ Show And Tell Friday~ ~ French Country Cottage ~ and also for ~ Male's Rose Garden ~ Have some fun hunting for some treasures and have a nice weekend ....................
