***EDIT***
YEAH! Today my blog is a the
FEATURED TYPEPAD BLOG OF THE DAY!!
So exciting! Click HERE to see my little blurb from typepad!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Welcome to the 2nd Show and Tell Sunday Party!
Today, many of us in blog land are sharing our collections of Vintage Millinery Hats, Flowers, Leaves and Trims and the boxes they come in. If you are unfamiliar with vintage millinery, let me just share a tiny bit about it...
Millinery is word for hats and articles made from a milliner or a hatter (remember the mad hatter from Alice in Wonderland?? He was a milliner...) So all the accessories that go with hats and sometimes dresses is what we call MILLINERY. Go HERE for a more detailed definition.
Many crafters and antique lovers collect vintage hats and hat trims and flowers, for their sheer beauty and unique designs. They are often tattered and worn, only adding to their beauty, in my opinion.
So, those of us who have collections, big or small, are sharing them with you today.
To see a complete list of all of the participants, please go to the Little Pink Studio blog. Cerri is our hostess this week and will be posting all the participating blogs, so I hope you join the fun! Grab a snack and let your fingers do the clicking!
--------------------------------------------------------------------
The first vintage flower (show at the top) is from my sweet blog friend Natalea at Kandeland. I just adore it! It is definitely one of my favorites!
Next, I have a few vintage hats sitting around the house, just adding a bit of charm to where ever they sit.
All of them are thrift store finds. I have never paid more than $5 for a hat in a thrift shop or a yard sale. Lucky, I know.
I just love the details in this hat. The stamens are double dipped, adding just the right touch to these velvet posies.
This is a vintage child's hat, it is my all time favorite hat. My daughter wore it to a Victorian Tea and won the prize for best hat.
adorable right?
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I also have a small and growing collection of millinery flowers that have abandoned the hats they once adorned. Nonetheless, they are still very beautiful.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I found this beauty on etsy just the other day! I purchased it at Nostalgic Art by Kim Davis, I ADORE IT!
It has the palest of pinks velvet ribbon and netting... yum!
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a little shelf in my studio, the sachet is from Angelina, tag is from Karin and the vintage french baptism cone is from Cerri!
The cone is holding some of my FAVORITE millinery flowers~
FORGET ME NOTS!
I use them on everything, they are just so sweet I can't resist them!!
Thanks to everyone for stopping by!
I will be posting a new show and tell topic on Monday!
Oh, I almost forgot!
We have a little blog button to share, please feel free to use this image on your blog to show you are a part of the Show and Tell Sunday group!
Hugs and happy browsing! Now I'm off to see more collections!

Fabulous collection Analise! I love the forget me nots too!
I'm jealous because I only own very few *sobs* Millinery is quite hard to find here.
Well one can't have everything I guess but I will not stop to look out for millinery and or hats over here. Thanks for sharing your great collection and for the invite. I was a little late in posting again, but made it finally tonight.
So what will be next Sunday's theme? Can't wait to know!
Best wishes sends you

Hi I love all those flowers AND the vintage wallpapers under those hats in the latter part of your post. It's with buttons, hats and wallpaper all the same.;You american girls have all the candy colors and we probably got the leftovers; the grays, the browns and the blacks while everybody knows that all girls want is pink and babyblue and so on!
Thanks for showing your collection!

Your hat and flower collection is just gorgeous! And all of your little crafties are too cute. Thanks for sharing. :)
Posted by: Samantha | April 06, 2008 at 08:34 AM
Yum! Lovely confections, you found some goodies. I try to stay under the $5 mark too, unless they are totally loaded with flowers and then I figure I am getting a lot for my money.
Great theme! Thanks!

I came here by the blog off LiliM.
I don't have any real old vintage hats, but I put some photo's on my blog from the hats I put on the heads off my handmade teddybears.
Greetings from Holland.

The hats are so pretty--like sweet confections with their clouds of netting and candy-colored flowers. I love how you use the forget-me-nots on your project and I suspect I'll find myself looking for them now.
Posted by: Carla | April 06, 2008 at 06:45 AM
Love your hats and crafts too :) Thank you both for hosting this.
I ordered that Baptism cone...can't wait to get it now!
