In case you haven't noticed - we are crazy about hats!
I've always been a tad obsessive enthusiastic about hats.
Hats have many functions - not the least of which - they just make me happy. They also can dress anything up....or down. They add pizzazz and cover bed head and even "not as fresh as it could be" hair.
Bur really....they just make me happy.
And even better....both my kiddos love them too!
I did some closet purging a while ago, but could not get rid of these little ones. Yes, I used to wear them.
I come from a long line of hat lovers. This Stetson box was my Fathers and he probably got it from his Father. Being British - a proper gentleman was never without his hat.
($7.50 for a Stetson!)
Make sure to visit Lisa's site for some fabulous photography today.
My favorite sight though is this little munchkin.......
.......in a hat!
Happy Wednesday.
Hi, I'm Wanda. I am a happy woman, wife to Danny for...oh....lots a years and finally Mom to THE most adorable little girl from Hunan, China - Dahlia. And now we have been blessed again with another daughter, Milana, from Zhejiang, China. (The 2 best things I've ever done!)
We live in the Montreal area. After a loooonnngg wait for Dahlia's little sister Milana (pronounced - Mee-lana, like banana), we finally brought her home in August 2009. Dahlia came to us in Nov 2004 (at 20 months of age)and a year later we began the application for another baby - at the time the waiting period was around 8 months. Almost 4 years later (say what!?!)we, at last, brought Milana home.
This began as the story of our journey to bring Milana home and life with her big sister, Dahlia. It now continues as we live as a family of four!

Oh Wanda! Your Daddy's hat box made me cry. I think you are a perfect girl for a hat! Sophisticated and fun! I love the girls collection. That is pretty amazing! : ) I couldn't wait to read this post. Such a fun title and as always...the images are magically pretty! LOVE!
I agree with Becky, you are a perfect girl for a hat! Obviously it's rubbing off on your girl as well! LOVE these shots! Your pillbox hats are adorable! My obsession is scarves. Love them!
These are beautiful photos and wow! hats! Lovely!
Wow, so many hats! And you all look so great in them! Beautiful pictures of your sweet beauty! I look HORRID in hats, so am really excited that AA can wear them. I must give her some encouragement to wear them so she won't be like her Mommy!
Thanks for the great "looks".

You and your girls sure do know how to rock the hats!
You and I would be great together...I love hats too, and luckily Taya does too!! My sister-in-law thinks I am crazy ;) She is so beautiful and definately fits the hat personality perfectly. And it just makes the black and whites so sharp to add that black hat.
Stunning Dahlia......hats are definitely YOUR thing, Girl! I love these, especially the black and whites...she's such an amazing muse!
Now, for those feather hats with the netting....you'd better pack them all up and bring them with you when we next get together because I am going to take your picture in them...YOU look like a movie star without them so I can only imagine you wearing those elegant beauties. Lake George....swimsuits and elegant hats.......perfect!
xoxoxoxo
love you,
Dita
OH, I am sorry if you get this twice but I didn't hit post properly and the last comment didn't take
That last portrait of Dahlia is stunning... and my, look at all those hats!! I'm sure the girls have a field day trying on each one... and you could have a field day taking many, many, many photos of them! :)
That was such a neat post. I love all those hats.
I love hats. Used to wear them as a teenager, not any more, don't look so good these days in hats. My eldest has the "hat bug" though and she is very pretty with hats.
Love your post and photos today. xxx

Dahlia (in the last one) is stunning. I'd be framing that one! wow!!!
