Well, Nell, I am not sure that the current pic of you in your old bridal veil was a selling point😬. My dad wore a hat to work every day too, with a sort of Humphrey Bogart look. But I also remember having to wear hats to church as a child. Remember the ‘half-hat’? I generally looked awful in those, but now I like broader brimmed hats for swimming in the pool and protecting my face. Yup, back to liking hats again. Thx for that bit of fun.
I love this post! A friend and his wife just cleared out his mom's house on Hanover Ave. for an estate sale--she lived there for 65 years. There were many hats, including a top hat in a box! I hope it went to a good home. Also, we have a picture of our daughter Livia at 2 1/2 at a wedding where she grabbed the bride's tossed away veil and put it on her own head. I must find that photo.
I love the pictures. I admire you so much. To make this move is amazing and a lot of work. Enjoy the hats and their memories.

Haha as you can see I have my faults but vanity isn't one of them :)
A wide brim is so good for keeping out the glare.

Funny, that top hat lived on Stuart Ave for decades. Treasures in that neighborhood!
Also you were a very beautiful bride! I did not wear a veil but did have flowers in my hair.
