This hat I made myself, with craft felt from Joann's, old lavender lace, a vintage velvet orchid & new faux pussy willows. The mannequin I bought at Sally's & painted the face with acrylics.I LOVE vintage hats, I'm content to spend hours on eBay, browsing & buying. It is easy if your favorite flower is the rose-there are many hats for you; on the other hand, if you prefer orchids or gardenias-you'll have a difficult hunt ahead of you.
I found some shops on eBay that sell vintage hat-trimmings: from West Germany, Occupied Japan, France. I was thrilled to find an orchid! I then held on to it for awhile & then-the above pics.
