I’ve had a pink and green hat stuck in my head for weeks. I kept putting it off because I thought I was nuts to want to line the underside of the brim with a multi-color silk. Well, I couldn’t shake it. So, here it is.
It is a little sweet, a little spring and a whole lot of pretty.
The pink and green silk taffeta wraps around the brim edge and lines the underside. To be happy, I had to get the stripes as lined up as possible.
There are two pink silk ribbons. The soft, true pink the crown with a triple bow in back. A second petal pink ribbon is underneith to help tie the hat behind your hair. 
A trio of white velvet calla lilies are the it piece. The velvet has just a touch of pink and the centers are beaded. I set the in a row to emphasize the curve of the hat.
This hat is currently available on Etsy.

I love it but think I’m probably a little long in the tooth for it nor do I think I’d have enough chances to wear it, but it’s just lovely.
Very pretty! Those callas are gorgeous.
Best,
Quinn

Remember this favorite hat?
Sadly, it didn’t fit the person who fell in love with it.
Luckily, this means a second chance for others who loved it.
