Hats in Flight

The Edwardian women loved their big hats, but they also had an extreme fascination to feathers.  Now as I was perusing Edwardian hats, I naturally stumbled across a huge variety, from feathery loviliness

To some rather odd vertical types

To a Mohawk

This one had me in stitches

To hats adorned with whole birds ... yes, whole birds

But for what it is worth, they were unique. They were testaments to individual personalities. They were works of art. They were as much of a woman's accessories as was her umbrella or walking stick, and no head left the house uncovered.

Smile and have a wonderful day
