Bringing Bonnet Back!

 In your Easter bonnet with all the frills upon it, you’ll be the grandest lady in the Easter Parade. I’ll be all in clover and when they look you over, I’ll be the proudest fellow in the Easter Parade.  On the avenue, Fifth Avenue, the photographers will snap us, and you’ll find that you’re the rotogravure. Oh, I could write a sonnet about your Easter bonnet, and the girl I’m taking to the Easter Parade.

-Irving Berlin

I remember in the 1970's going shopping for my Easter dress, and of course the little bonnet!! times have changed... or have they?? My girls are too old now to force an easter bonnet , but I remember the first little simple hat I place on my almost now 18 year old daughter on her first Easter. It wasn't much of a bonnet but it definitely has me wishing for that little hat again!

My oldest daughter in 1995!

I found some great bonnets that have truly stirred the Ol 'Easter and spring feeling again! They range from fashion forward to just plain funky, some have even "gone to the dogs!!" Anyway, you check out these great bonnets ,  I hope they put a smile on your face, and bring back some bonnet memories for you too!!
I wish everyone a wonderful Passover and Easter weekend!!

Test Your Design Comfort zone!

This  contest definitely tests your design comfort level! You have to choose a topic like sin, opulence, decadence, power, greed etc according to the characters and theme of ShowTimes's new series the Borgias!I had a difficult time deciding what theme, and I am still not sure that I chose the right one! I picked  greed and chose pieces found on V& M that a person with money, power etc and especially greed may want that others do not or cannot have! The pieces do not reflect my personal style rather a channeled style according to what I think the Borgias' Greed would be like! I recommend entering, it was fun.. and there are no clients that have to approve! If you win you get a 250.00 credit to V & M, and I know I can always find quite a few things on that site that I want! If you enter please send me your link I will vote/like the design for you! I will post any boards forwarded to me, have fun! Enter at www.vandm.com!
