Yesterday afternoon we went outside and I took some pictures of Tara in her brand new bonnet. She just finished making it; it used to be a slightly ugly "golf" style hat that belonged to me, and I gave it to her to do what she liked with it. She took a pair of scissors to it, with some ruffled ribbon, un-ruffled ribbon and some white fabric. The result was quite charming, and a bit reminiscent of something Molly Gibson (Wives & Daughters) might wear. The pink and green go well with the embroidery on her white dress (which you cannot see in the picture :-).
These two pictures were just for fun; I really like how the one above came out. As we were coming in from our photo shoot, Tara was holding the lilacs and her gloves in the same hand and, in black and white, I think it looks neat. A bit wedding-ish, but neat! :-)

Oh! Lovely job Tara! It does look very Molly-esque! It's so nice to be able to make something less than desirable into something useful and beautiful. :-)
I'm sorry I didn't respond to your last comment on our blog, time just got away from me! In response to it, YES!! we'd love to have a visit from your family! Maybe we could work out a weekend this summer... ;-)

Lily- Thank you! Yes, it was a LOT of fun to see the hat transform with some thread, ribbon and pins! We'll have to talk about getting together for a weekend - it would be fun!! :-)
