No one can deny...

 ...how lovely the future Queen of England looks in a hat!

No self respecting English woman would ever go to a wedding without buying a new one.

This past week I added a couple of of new pictures to my family tree of relatives wearing hats and thought it would be interesting to share some of the styles and faces over the years


Sarah Jane Brown born 1874.

Helen Chalmers born 1833.
Mary Cartmel born 1801.
Emma Maria Gabrielle Alice Pignatel
born 1851.
Lady Valerie Champion de Crepigney born 1883
Ready to be presented at court.
Margaret Gradwell Crookall born 1874.
Elizabeth Delahoy born 1809.
Francis Bray born 1885.
born 1858.
Catherine Vans Agnew born 1856.
Ethel Mary Begg born 1939.
My big sister in her blue bonnet.
Barbara Ann Begg 1942.
Taken  in the 1960's.

In the only hat I ever wore borrowed for a friends wedding.

Glad I don't have to worry about storing my hats,I don't own a single one.

Thanks!
