The Power of a Good Hat....
My dear friend, Mrs. Astor, posted today about wearing the right hat. That a good hat is all we need to overcome any economic disaster. You know, she just might be right about that.

The Countess always feels good when she is wearing a fancy hat.
It can be when I am channeling my inner Mae West.....

The Countess has even been known to wear a cowboy hat.....although it did have a tiara on it.... and I had a very handsome man draped around me....

My daughter, The Principessa, has had the urge to put on a hat now and then.....

So I do have to agree with Mrs. Astor. A good hat can chase the economic blues away any day!

Thank you, Countess. Perhaps I should go into hat-making (if duBarry doesn't get her feathers ruffled).
My dear Mrs. Astor, the Countess duBarry passed away several months ago. Her will was published and I believe that she left YOU..."that woman in Miami Beach" her tiaras.
I think that frees you to make hats to your hearts desire....unless you believe in ghosts!!

Do you mean ghosts or witches?
