Karrieann is very talented I think, don't you?

Hey! That looks beautiful on you.
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to mention...that if you want the brim a bit more firmer, maybe a bit of starch? I haven't tried that yet.. I have one of my own, not as pretty as yours (mine has modern fabric for I use it when out doing yard work. Also, it is washable in regular wash and in dryer. I have wash and dried it prior to sending it... and I also ironed it, no harm!
:o)
OOH! thank you for your kind words!
you are welcome Karrieann. thanks again
ReplyDeleteMy DH bought one for me at Colombia State Park in Northern CA...we lived IN Colombia before it became a state park. It’s made of gingham and hand made. He bought a matching skirt for me too. We used to go there on our every other anniversary year. LOL And reminisce about when we lived there and could drive down the streets and go to real stores...not just gift shops. I like it that it isn’t stiff... Had a photo of my Grandma Johnson in hers, and it was floppy...she was a pioneer in Iowa....on a section near Honey Creek, IA...good memories
ReplyDeleteLove yours Diane....

When you say you needed one, what is it for? Is it for part of your costume for the coming summer/fall?
ReplyDeleteHow fun to get such wonderful mail! That is such a special treat to get to use Kiarrieann's gift with your demos. Karen in OR
ReplyDeleteThank you BJ and Karen,
ReplyDeleteHi Zarina, thank you for stopping by, yes, it will be part of my costume for the tatting demo the end of the month for the Mantador 125th celebration that I posted about a couple posts back, and also I may have another chance to participate in demonstrating tatting this fall at an event that happens every year that celebrates life as it was lived 100 years or so ago. so dressing like someone who lived in that era is encouraged.
Gee, I don't receive things quite like that in my mail!
ReplyDeleteYou might wear it around the neighbourhood - see the reaction it gets! You could start a retro kinda look.
Lovely of Karrieann to be so thoughtful.
Fox : )
He He Thanks Fox, I already wear old straw hats in the garden, right out in front of our house by 2 roads so any one can see me. Also I occasionally wear a hat to Church. so everyone knows I am eccentric. And I often wear dresses and skirts when I don't have too !!
