From Mess to Less
Rather ambitiously, at about 9.30 tonight I decided to sort out all my vintage hats. I was running short of space in my hatboxes to store them all, and I knew there were some among them that ought to be culled. I had another purpose: spring has truly sprung and it was time to do the seasonal wardrobe changeover. The winter hats should be put away and the summer ones brought out.
I retrieve the hatboxes from storage and turfed out the contents – my living room looked like a milliner’s boutique had exploded. I managed to weed out about ten hats, most of which will go to charity, but there are one or two worthy of being offered up for sale on eBay.
A few big summer hats perch on my hatstand for easy access, and the rest are in hatboxes. The winter hats have been lovingly wrapped in tissue and gone into storage to hibernate over the warmer months. I feel quite pleased with my industry. Less is more.
