Day 19: 22 February 2011

Caps, caps for sale! Fifty cents a cap!


So they aren't for sale, but they are moving fast [as fast as my little fingers can load them and get them downstairs, I guess...] and I do love that book[ Caps for sale! ] We started moving bonnets, some were pretty adorable but most reminded me of the grim reaper [mmm personification of death...]. A lot of the hats needed to be moved to the conservation room [one plus of this move!]. By the end of the day Andrea had a webinar to "attend" and I moved to helping Jon and Kaila move ethnology artifacts [we have a tiger. I will get a photo tomorrow.]. 


We also have a ton of grass skirts and while they are very cool, they are kind of a pain to move. 



One adorbs little sun hat.


Not even my department but I found it to be some pretty solid labeling. 


So... this person walked into their haberdasher and said, "One of everything please". Or that is at least my take on it... [straw, flowers, sequins, ribbon, beading, lace...]


"Merry Widow Hat (Gibson Girl Ere)". This hat was enormous.




Kind of an uneventful day [except that we have a TIGER]. Happy Tuesday.
