"Dreaming of Spring"I finished embellishing a vintage hat last night that I'm going to send off to Belle Armoire Magazine. Maybe I'll wear it for awhile first!
From their website:
Altered Couture (Volume 3!) (Newsstand Date: November 1, 2007)

I love old hats! My mom used to have a bunch of old ones in really neat hatboxes. I loved trying them on as a little girl. Wish she'd kept them!
Yours is very retro looking for sure!
Thanks for sharing!
Are you thinking about making something to submit to Altered Couture?
I hadn't thought about the Altered Couture...Let me look up the word in the dictionary first...ha ha. I need to start doing crossword puzzles like my grandmother used to do. Wards off altimerzers so I've read. LOL
