Here you are ... the collection I didn't even know existed ... various styles and fabrics ... some in better shape than others ...

At the moment the above hat is my favorite ... I would wear it, but it's too small ...



If my memory serves me correctly {yeah, I know ... how can I say that when I didn't even know I had this, right?} ... I believe I purchased these at this flea market over the past summer ... I was the first shopper at the vendors booth that had probably over 75 hats ... all shapes and styles ... the price? ... ONLY $2 per hat ... that's what I said and started making a pile as fast as I could ... then like an idiot, I got choosey and started putting some back and rethinking, etc . ... walked away with an armful ... about 15 minutes later I realized my mistake and went back for more ... I kid you not, by this time you could not get near the hats and the price was up to $7-10 each!! ... I still kick myself for not taking them all ... the guy probably would have even made a better deal with me if I offered to take them all in the beginning!!

I'm off to make the rounds ... hoping to visit everyone earlier this week ... keep the comments coming, they are all going into the pile .... I've added another way for the VBF winner to spend her winnings ... not only can you shop the Gypsy Brocante, but you will be able shop here as well!!

That pillbox hat with all the netting is fabulous! Happy Vintage Black Friday...the 13th!

The hats are wonderful and each very unique...you are right it is hard to capture all the detail but I can see that this is a terrific collection.
ReplyDeleteInteresting story about the booth.....I think we all have those times when we regret not making a purchase.
I did this on a vintage urn...I am still crying over that~lol
We are getting more vendors for the Black Friday Flea market....don't forget your ad button and your apron pic :) Sheri
I hate when I think things to death. What you got is great, though. And you got your favs, so that's a good thing! ~Mindy

Love those hats!!!!! Which is really funny, considering I can't stand anything on my head, or to even have my head touched.
