I first learned of bonnets and hats being made of luffa sponge only a couple years ago. I found the idea of a bonnet made from a squash to be both fantastical and completely practical. I figured I would be lucky to ever see one behind glass in a display. I never imagined I would get to hold one, let alone own one. Weeks ago, when I noticed this auction listing, I told myself I could not have it. It simply wasn’t in my budget. When the seller offered my a deal, I couldn’t resist adding it to my collection.
