The tea-potters are going to the Kentucky Derby this week and we are supposed to take a ride. Mine is Sweet Magnolia. We had to stop at a hat boutique on the way so she could purchase that all important hat. Believe me, this is not the one I would have chosen but she has a mind of her own. She tried on 42,000 hats before buying this one. Ugh! Females! I thought she should have something more elegant and larger. You know how those ladies love their beautiful hats at the Kentucky Derby. But, here we are with this little sun hat on. She probably won't be the Belle of this Ball, so to speak. She thinks she is just going to look pretty...not race.

Magnolia has chosen a very feminine hat. None of Dobbin's discarded straw bonnets for her. What a horse! Like the soft colors you have chosen to highlight Magnoiia's purchase.

Ooohlalallalalalal Brenda!!! A mighty pretty filly!! Not that I know a horse from another kind of a horse. That might be a stallion or a dray for all I know!! ;) Yeah - I'm wondering about how you find all those $$$$$$$$ to buy all of your fancy punchez....... Kind a like Fruitflakez said - are you lifting them???????????
But -even so - the filly has one lovely hat!!! I know I don't look good in many hats - so I totally understand why Magnolia her, had to try on 42,000 before she decided on these one!!Love pretty flower on the hat!!
