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.

Sweet MAgnolia looks like the little country horse that found her way into the fancy ball and hadn't quite prepared for all the fashionable hats that would be there. The good thing is that she doesn't give a rats tail as she is happy in her simple, sweet hat and they can go jump. : ) Very cute card.

Magnolia is adorable! Love your story about her trying on 42,000 hats before picking one out. I'd love a store with that many hats... trying them on is so much fun. Not that I'd have an occasion to wear a Kentucky Derby style hat..... but a fun sun hat like Magnolia's is much more practical.

I think this understated elegance is a great look - including the rose. Very pretty! I like that she found a hat to make room for the ears - and with polka dots as well!

I've got the perfect blanket that Sweet Magnolia can borrow to coordinate with that lovely polkadotted hat. You know that it's all about the accessories, right, Benz? Giggle! This is so cute!

Brenda, I love Magnolia! She is a hotty indeed! I wonder if she could race along Deb's horse, he's very into Magnolias if you know what I mean. Cool heat and border. Hugs, sweet Brenda! TFS

Well if she isn't the prettiest horse at the track! But definitely not ready to race in that outfit. Oh well - someone has to cheer don't they? Love the beautiful border!!
