MORE VINTAGE CLOACHE HATS

Hi there everyone, I decided to try and catch up on our posting by sharing with all of you some more goodies that we have in our collection of vintage hats. With both our jobs and me putting in some o.t. and also trying to do some garden chores I just haven't been able to post as much as I would like. But hey I am here now so let me start off with this cool orange hat. It is made of some fine straw and has a cool little felt Deco design on the front of the hat.

I believe this is the first hat that got me hooked on collecting them. I can just imagine women going downtown to shop or just socializing with their gloves and a beautiful hat on their head and maybe a beaded handbag.
This one has red glass beads sewn on the hat which is made of green silk. I must apologize for the photos not being very clear.

Today I will be linking up to COMMON GROUND FRENCH COUNTRY COTTAGE And SHOW AND TELL FRIDAY This hat has many little flowers of different colors on it. I purchased it on E-bay and I was very happy with this buy. And then there is the 1920s lip stick container which was a gift from Ray for Christmas a couple of years back. I haven't seen another one like this on our antique hunts. And she still has lipstick when you pull the top off. Until next time I wish you all a great rest of the weekend and see you all soon...............Julian & Ray

    Hi Julian,
    Love your hats! It's good to read a post but I know that sometimes life takes over and keeps you busy, I'm just the same. I'm looking forward to seeing your spring garden, I'm sure it will look great. despite the cold here the first early spring flowers are stating to appear.
    Keep well and keep busy.
    Hugs, Angela.

    I have a lovely hat collection as well! My daughter and I wear them all the time!
    I love the juxtaposition of the hats with blue jeans and cowboy boots!

    Julian,
    I marvel at the wonders you bring to us with each posting. While many times I feel like such a kid with my nose pressed against the window of a candy story. Thanks for all the “Eye Candy” you post for us. – G

    Back in the early days, ladies dressed like ladies. Now days, the younger generation try to see who can wear the less and baggy.

    Hi Julian~ What an absolutely darling lipstick container! I adore it! So sweet! Your hats are all just so beautiful- I love the one with the pink flowers on it- I just recently saw a couple of vintage hats at a thrift store but couldn't decide on which one and ended up not getting any... darn it...
    Thanks for sharing at my party this week! :)

    H Julian and Ray:)
    Love your vintage hats. I collect (and sell)them too. I love how you have them displayed. I am most attracted to the ones filled with Millenery flowers. Have a great weekend.

    Great hats I can see why you love them. Hats are making a somewhat of a come back. But it is slow here in the US.This winter they have been big. Much plainer than yours. But a good start. Thanks, Richard at www.myoldhistorichouse.blogspot.com
