....they say if you want to get ahead..........

...get a hat!
..and there must be some truth in that....



...some of the best people just wouldn't be the same without theirs...


....but lately there has been a change..

..every year we attend a 'hat function'.....
...but gradually, year on year,
the hats have disappeared!?!


...i love to wear hats...
..and i love to see people wearing them too..
...they make a special occasion 
really special...



..but nobody seems to want to wear them any more....
...so now at this function...
...i sit alone in my hat...
...determined never to give in...


..but despite the compliments
even i am starting to question myself..

...do i look silly, odd....
...heaven forbid....OLD FASHIONED?
aaargh...


...i agree that these rather stiff looking
creations are not what i'm pining for...

..this year i wanted something 'gatsby',
...a soft, pretty straw hat...
...not too big or formal...


...but can i find one?
...because sadly the impact of this trend..
...is that hat shops are very rare.

...my other problem is that i actually already found the perfect hat....

...i tried on some beauties at the 
eridge country living fair...
...made by the talented
...they were perfect....
..but just a tad beyond my budget...
...so for now i have this option...
...which is vintage and cute
... but a bit tight...
...or
i go bare- headed!?!?
now that would cause a stir!

..secret love...

in a special little cupboard
at the top of my stairs..
..hides a squirrel secret
that now i'd like to share..
...it looks like any other..
but when you peek inside...
...a hoard of tiny teddies 
have chosen to reside...
..i'm not sure how they got there
or how it came to be...
that all these little teddies
have ended up with me...
they are so good and tucked away
i can forget they're there...
..but if i pass i peek inside...
and tell them i still care.

....hedgehog rescue......

...sometimes a little love is all that is required....
...last week i found this abandoned hedgehog in my local charity shop...
...a little shabby round the edges...
...but fundamentally all in one piece...
...and lovingly hand stitched for 
somebody....
somewhere.....
some time ago....
...unable to resist a toy sob story..
she had to come home with me....
...to be squirrelled....
nothing too drastic..
..a bow of course...
..a few buttons, a furry collar...
...and a little pocket patched with love..
...i thought my work was done...
..until i found this ear-less bear
by the sea...
...how could i walk away?
...a serious cry for help 
that couldn't be ignored...
...so with some words of reassurance
 from miss tiggy...
...this old sheepskin bear 
awaits his makeover!
