Nature's Bandits

Raccoon wall art from Style Kid.

Since I'm not feeling well today, I'm going to try something different today; instead of writing up several paragraphs leading into the hats, I'm just going to try summing it all up in a haiku. If it works, great; if not, we'll all have learned something, and that will most likely be that I should leave poetry to the experts.

Ready? Here goes:

If you're a varmint

Be cuter than the opossum

It works for raccoons

...Yeah, I shouldn't hold my breath on waiting to be declared poet laureate, should I?

Okay--here's the hats.

This raccoon hat plays it simple; just letting the shape and the stripes to the work.

Meanwhile, deLux goes the full nine, with just about every detail you could imagine and a matching set of mittens.

It's the contrast of the white eyes against the black stripe that makes this hat work.

Fact: Your cute kid will look ninety-billion times cuter in a raccoon hat.

And finally, for those who have always wanted to rock a Davy Crockett-style hat but are concerned about certain animal rights groups getting huffy about it, your prayers have been answered:

Ta-da! A knit raccoon-skin hat! It's like Christmas came early!

And on that note, I'm going back to bed. See you Wednesday!
