Here is the hat I promised AGES ago! I made it this weekend from scratch, all fabric covering and trim is stitched by hand. The main fabric is silk, the purple underneath is satin, and the trim is cotton, with some little cherries thrown in ;) It's inspired by the stylized toppers of the 1930s, and to help in stay on I've attached a comb on the inside.
The giveaway is open to anyone, and all you need to do to enter is comment on this post. If you would like your name entered twice then just post a link of the contest on your blog along with a photo you can find here. Comment again with the link and you have double the chance of winning!
The giveaway ends on the 18th of August, two weeks away, and the winner will be drawn at random.
Good luck!

wow
love the hat
i would have so much fun wearing this
That's the most beautiful hat I have ever seen! I want to wear it when I'm sitting in under a cherrytree, wearing my granmothers swingdress from the 50`s (who has the same colour as the hat) in Hardanger/Norway and eat cherries all day long.
What a delicious hat!
And the cherry on top is like frosting on the cake...
I've told about your giveaway to Norway. The hat is pure beauty!
