We recently welcomed Marcella Farina, The Tea and Hat Lady to Sweet Remembrances for a special program. We are so fortunate to have Marcella, a Certified Tea Specialist and a genuine Tea Enthusiast as part of our local tea community!
Rarely seen without a hat, Marcella presented a charming talk on Hats and the Woman who wear them. It included well known hat wearers: Audrey Hepburn, Queen Elizabeth and lesser known yet still influential women in hats.
Marcella brought some of her favorite hats along to share with us and we learned a bit of hat trivia. 
A Sun hat is meant to cover your head and your shoulders. Most reproduction hat pins are strong enough to fit through a well made hat. Hat pins fit through the hat, under your hair and through the other side of the hat to hold it in place in case there is a sudden gust of wind. In addition to being used for this purpose, they are within easy reach to be used as a weapon in case of an attack!

Of course, we totally love how our guests will "play along" and wear all of their favorite hats.
What a fun tea theme. I wear hats occasionally, but I have a friend who rarely leaves home without one. Storing them is the problem for me.
ReplyDeleteWhen I was much younger I loved wearing hats, but don't do so much anymore. Oh I love that the hat pin can also be used as a weapon, very clever way to hide a weapon. What fun your guests had, I am sure!
