You look MARVELOUS! If this will get you into see The Queen, will you make a matching dress? Oh and you will need some of the booties too. Thank you for the wonderful memory, this is something my MIL would do.

Oh, I need to tell my grandson and his fiance` that I will be wearing boots in June to their wedding,to match the hat.With such beautiful items of clothing,they will be so excited to see me there!

Leaha by Leaha 20 Feb 2014

If it's going to cause so much bliss you should make two such outfits one for the rehearsal dinner and the other for the wedding. Oh and we'll need to see the all the pieces just so we can vote on the favorite. Thanks again for the memory of my MIL. (Even husband says this is something his mother would do.) lol

Any time you want to come to England i will give you your own accomadation in my tiny motor home right on the driveway. and we will go into town and wear our new hats and start a new trend in fashion must haves
I think a tassle added to hang down over each ear would set it off nicely and perhaps for special occasions a feather draped over the top
Love the idea thanks for the laugh.and color co-ordinated for any garment. OH YES Just add a cord to the two opposing sides and you have a matching tote

The tassels over the ear flap would eliminate the need for earrings and I had thought of this.Even tho I haven't got my dress,for my g-sons wedding in June, it doesn't matter.With all these colors,it's sure to match anything!-LOl LOL

Following on from the many suggestions that you should press ahead with your wish for an invitation to our shores, I am currently seeking ritualistic organisations that like to dress up in mind-boggling headgear, the members of which are two sandwiches short of a picnick. Alas, too date my search has proven fruitless, yet I know that they are out there somewhere. The nearest I could find to the headress was being worn by the national team of Mongolia at the Winter Olympics. However, I do know where rhere are some yurts for rent, so perhaps you could come to England and just pretend to be Mongolian. I am sure that our 'Care in the Community Social Services' would lookafter you and I would be happy to explain to the authorities that you are not trying to claim asylum.

I think it has the opposite effect on Nora, she almost cries.I asked my daughter if she would like one,we could wear them to my g-sons wedding in June, but she declined the offer.I don't know why, with all these colors,it should go with anything, don't you think?

Well.............they do say that if you want to get ahead............get a hat. We do have some strange (some might say, weired) customs here in the UK and am confident that you will fit in perfectly somewhere.
