Bearing Fruit


Say what you want about the WPA, but they 
had some rad posters.  Like this one, for instance.

So I was on Facebook the other day, procrastinating taking a little break from work when I saw this gorgeous piece of millinery show up on my News Feed:


As you'll see should you follow the link, the hat is for the Milliners Of Etsy challenge for the month of June, and it is freakin' amazing; all sparkly and fruity and colorful and stuff.  It is a work of awesomeness and I love it.

Anywho, so I saw the cocktail hat above, that was when I decided that I really needed to do a post on fruit-laden hats as soon as possible so I'd have an iron-clad excuse to share this with the rest of you.  Which pretty much brings us up to speed on the current state of things.


This fruity percher fascinator is a bit more subtle but no less stunning.  I particularly like that the little fruits are vintage millinery fruits from somewhere in the 1930s or 1940s; it's a nice little touch.


This fascinator has a wider variety of fruits than the last one, and it even has a little fuchsia birdie nestled in it to boot.

And because a little randomness is a good thing every now and again, here's a pair of vintage fruit-themed platform shoes:


Yeah, you might break your neck trying to walk around in these bad boys, but I think it's safe to say that you would die in style.  And probably make an above-the-fold story in your local paper, too.

See you Wednesday!
