Nothing Like a New Hat to Lift one’s Spirits

I love to find hats that remind me of the 17th and 18th centuries. Here is my newest acquisition.  I can imagine Clare Dupres wearing it to tea at Chateau Montjardin. I found it at a local consignment shop, not ten minutes from my home. Perhaps I will wear it to the Author Book Fair at the Beaver Creek Library on January 28th where I will be signing copies of Midwife of Normandy.
