I’ve been working nonstop for several weeks now - every night taking work home, working on weekends, etc.  So, yesterday IGB and I decided we were going to go antiquing - for nothing in particular.  We had several places on the list to go.

Oh.my.god.  We only got through ONE floor of the Fox Skylight Gallery in 4 hours.  We had to go back Sunday for the Third floor and basement.  We found several very interesting books, a great many frames for our Family wall (when it is closer to done, I will post pics), and …hats. 

I didn’t know I was a collector.  I really didn’t.  I thought I was interested, and I had a few pieces, and I knew I had taste in quality.  But now I own four more hats than I did Friday.   Here are examples of two I picked up:

They were all of great prices and fit pretty well (apparently, I do well with most 22s).  There were many more I really wanted, but managed to control myself…at least a little.   I own these two, along with a magenta and a brown one.  Really, quite reasonable, if I do say so myself.

It shouldn’t have been such a surprise for me that I have something of an addiction collection. The night before, I was caught wearing this 30’s-style hat at a performance (and it stayed on!)
