Helen's Hat of Vintage Buttons

More of Helen’s Colorful Life Well Lived

Steve returned from New York with several boxes of things from Aunt Helen’s final estate settlement: among them, her journals dating back to 1930.

Posted here are photos of one of her vintage hats we just unpacked. Not only is the hat a cool vintage shape and fabric, it contains over 40 vintage buttons: buttons over buttons! Slogans, sayings, spirit, sentiments from Dartmouth to the Dodgers, Ike, George Wallace, Truman…

A glorious glimpse back into US history.

A colorful life well lived! (You will also notice the warthog keychain.)
