Madeleine Monday (In Her Easter Bonnet...)


Elegance and attitude in front of our house on Easter morning. She got that hat Saturday at the art museum, where we went to see a show called Degas, Impressionism And The Millinery Trade. It was about the fascination of those painters with the art of ornate hat making, the height of fashion in the late 19th and early 20th Centuries. 

We stopped in the shop after viewing the exhibit. Ellie was quite taken with the straw hat, modeling it for us with the price tag still attached, a la Minnie Pearl. We'll see the other grandkid in Michigan next weekend.

  1. The hat fits perfectly and gives indeed that romantic feeling of impressionistic times. The face on the first photo on the other hand is of all times. Great pic's again.
