Hat shops like this one always make me think about how it was when my grandmother was a young woman. Dressing in lovely frocks and wearing hats for almost every occasion.
I just know that if I picked my favorite one, it would be the pink one. Not because today is Pink Saturday and Bev over at How Sweet The Sound is hosting another day filled with posts all about pink...but because I love pink.
Something pink and lovely came in the mail yesterday...
My lovely friend Louise from Whispering Poppies had a giveaway recently to celebrate the grand opening of her new shoppe,
and I won.
Everything Louise designs is so feminine and romantic, like this sheet music, and Vintage tag with lovely ribbons.
I especially love this broach that was designed and created by Louise for her Whispering Poppies Shoppe Grand Opening.
I love Louise and all of her incredible jewels and treasures on her Etsy Shop too, and every blog design is so romantic in a lovely Vintage creation way.
Thank you Louise, and your new romantic designs for Valentine's Day Simply stole my heart.
I wish there were more reasons to wear a hat, because windows like this make me yearn to wear one. I rather think one of these Pink hats would look quite lovely with Louise's broach. Dreaming of an era of romance as I listen to the song for this post FLY ME TO THE MOON. Well, Happy Pink Saturday, and please be sure to stop by Bev's place HERE, to read the Pink Posts for today.
Lovely, lovely things...congrats on your win! Now why is it that I think that you would look beautiful wearing a hat...you just happen to have one of those sweet faces that can achieve the look.
What lovely postings. I found your blog by another blog. The photographs and art are just beautiful.
love the photos of hats. I'd pick the pink one, too! Happy Pink Saturday!
Happy Pink Saturday, dear Karen.
I oft dream of those romantic days, too. But, I am sure they had many struggles in life just like we do.
Congratulations on your win. Everything is just lovely.
What beautiful things you won! I love the hat shop pictures. My favorite is the black and white checked one.
I am delighted you like your corsage! Thank you for mentioning me, Karen! I think YOUR posts are romantic, and they are so very inspiring!
(I must give credit where credit is due... I use premade vintage tags from the etsy seller "vintage1955".) =)
Have a lovely weekend!
I'm with you on the pink hat! It would be the one I would chose. Sometimes I do wear hats because I like to & because my husband loves for me to wear them. You should go buy that pink one & wear it because you like it & it gives you memories! Your treasures from the giveaway are wonderful. I won a give away too so check out my goodies. Isn't it fun to get those little pacakges of love in the mailbox! Have a happy weekend.
I'm ahuge hat fan! I wear them several times a week. Lots of pretties to look at. Thanks for sharing. Happy Pink Saturday!
What a pretty window. It seems a lot of us share a longing for the days when we could really dress up pretty for things, and yet...I live in jeans. Comfort win I guess. Sucha beautiful package from Louise!
I love that soft pink hat with the feathers and the roses! That bird is gorgeous! Have a nice pink Saturday!
Karen,I wish we wore hats all the time too.And every women I ever speak to about it says the same.So why don't we?I also love the pink one.Happy Pink Saturday...Ann

So much loveliness today! Congrats on your win, I would be excited too! It is a shame that hat-wearing went out of fashion.
Karen ~ I just love your blog! I think HATS should come back in style and we should all wear them!!!!
I will be back to visit your blog and when I have more than a few minutes, I'm going to read the whole thing while listening to FLY ME TO THE MOON (one of my most favorite songs)!

Hi Karen, thank you for the get well wishes. I love this post, Happy Pink Saturday and Congratulations on winning Louise's incredible brooch. I am so pleased you won. Your hats remind me of an old newsreel I saw this week of John Kennedy's Inaguartion as President, everyone was wearing a hat. Do you think we could start a revival? I adore hats. Thank you for the post. hugs Margie.
Karen,
That beautiful pink hats would go with broach. Congrats to you....Beautiful gifts..
Happy Pink Saturday

You're one lucky girl. We've certainly changed from the hat and glove days. Mimi
Congratulations on your sweet win. Hopy you've had a lovely Pink Saturday..and have a wonderful week.P.S. I like that pink hat as well..
I wish we still wore hats. I'm reading a biography about Audrey Hepburn right now and everyone was so elegant back then. They may not have been very comfortable though. Hmmm...
Happy Pink Saturday,
Robin
I too wish there were more occasions to wear a hat. That was the prettiest shop that you showed us and congrats on the win. What beautiful things. I really like her creations. I will have to go check out her blog.
Hugs

We used to always wear hats on Easter Sunday, but now that tradition is gone too. (sigh) Happy Pink Saturday.
I wish wes till wore hats. There was hat shop in my hometown when I was young. I used to love to look in the windows at all the fancy hats. In those days, Catholic women had to wear hats to chuch...it was great to pick out your Easter hat. Not many ladies wear hats anymore, and I really miss that. Thanks for a nostalgic post Karen. Hugs
Karen - I love your new blog header and the whole "blue" theme. The hats are wonderful and what a great photo! Happy Pink Saturday...Nancy
Happy Belated Pink Saturday!

p.s. How do you get your pictures to be that large on your post..I have no idea how to do that??? Love how you can see everything so clear....
Beautiful pictures Karen!! I love Louise's jewelry too!
I was at a tea shop the other day and they have hats for sale. Oh, how I wished I had a place to wear a hat. That had some beautiful hats. I fell in love with a spring green hat but there was a pretty pink one too.
Thanks for Pink Saturday fun!
I am not covered up with pink here, at our cottage, The Painted Nest, LOL so that SAT was a stretch for me!! :) LOL
I am running behind on my comments as I have been traveling for work :)
I adore hats LOL so you have captured this MUSE :)
Hi Karen
I love all those beautiful hats too. It's too bad we seldom have an occasion for a hat.
Maybe I need to have a Victorian tea party and everyone could wear a hat!
Hugs, Rhondi
You're right!! My dresses and Your hats...what a delight!
Thanks for stopping by and visiting!

Your post is lovely with the vintage look about everything. I liked the pink hat. It really stood out. also the bird carrying the pink ribbon was so cute.
Hugs...Jeanne
Oh, what a lovely blog you've created. I've spent a happy time perusing your entries. The hats you featured for Pink Saturday are exquisite. Yes, I wish we weren't so "dressed down" nowadays.
All the best, Lana
Happy Belated Pink Saturday Karen. You are a lucky duck to win the things from Beachy. I ordered some of her brooches for Christmas gifts and they were lovely. ~ Lynn
