Little Mouse and my visit to Wisconsin is drawing to a close this weekend, so we\u2019ve been saying a fond farewell to all our favorite places. This afternoon we not only went to the dog park<\/a> and the Mousehouse<\/a>, we also went back to the town\u2019s small library, to revisit their local history exhibit, which this month showcased some wonderful old bonnets from the \u201cera of the hat\u201d (the late 1890s\u20141920s).<\/p>\n

Despite the sign \u201cnot to touch” a kindly librarian let Molly, Ranger, and Little Mouse each try on one of the vintage hats, and wear it while we hung out and read.<\/p>\n

\"Molly,<\/p>\n

While in \u201creal life\u201d the actual hats on display were all black, with an occasional pink flower\u2014which made me wonder if they were really<\/em> Easter bonnets, after all\u2014we imagined them in an array of lovely spring colors.<\/p>\n

\"Vintage<\/a>\u2014Thanks in large part to inspiration from The Graphics Fairy<\/a>, where I found this great image of\u00a0hats<\/a>\u00a0(and the rug pattern, too, which I adapted from one of her wallpaper swatches<\/a>). If you haven\u2019t yet browsed through Karen\u2019s extensive collection of scanned ephemera (and like that kind of thing as much as I do), you\u2019re in for a real treat. Karen adds new images to her blog daily, often reflecting seasonal or holiday themes, so there is currently a lot of fun Victorian Easter imagery being posted to enjoy and also\u00a0use in your own collages<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, I hope everyone out there has a wonderful day, full of your own fond, creative, and colorful adventures!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
