I was at a local antique mall Friday when I spotted a wonderful 1930s hat. Kind of slung to one side with long feathery things fanning out for about a foot on either side. It was obviously an expensive hat when new, so I took it from the shelf to take a closer look.

Sure enough, it had a Hattie Carnegie label - one I'd never seen, but similar to the one in my 1930s HC coat. A glance at the price tag put it outside my price range, but I continued to hold and admire it . Then I noticed a cute fake bug on the feathers. Wow! I thought, how clever of Hattie to think of putting a fake bug ... All of a sudden it started crawling up the feather! Not fake at all! I put that one down in a BIG hurry!
 
Oh my goodness, Lizzie!

I would have put it down too even though I have a higher bug tolerance than most people.

You know, I saw a Hattie Carnegie hat too that i thought was more than I would spring for to buy for myself. (and I do spend the money when I have it when something really good that i would treasure). If it was a style that i wear (and i do wear hats) maybe i would have jumped. Maybe I will learn more at your upcoming Hattie Carnegie workshop in august so i can kick myself.

Well, that's one way of keeping your money in your pocket! LOL
 
Yeech! Hattie Carnegie label or not, I would've put it down
pretty darn quick too.
