These poor bonnets never did find a home last year. Each is waiting for the right time and person.
The first is one of my favorites from last year. I just love the combination of the velvet calla lilies and pink & green silk.
This is a smaller straw hat. (It fits my head perching forward.) It would be good for an adult with a smaller to average head or a child. Find it on Etsy.
This little hat is ideal for a late war to post war impression. Light weight, made of fine hemp-straw and silk, it sits back over the hair as it begins to rise. The inspiration for this bonnet comes from this 1865 wedding bonnet at the National Trust Collections (below) Find it on Etsy.
