Lucille of My Dreams!

So Adam and I decided to go into the Antique Mall today before we went to dinner - I needed to get a little something to go with a baby shower gift (that I am terribly late with! Sorry Sara!). 

30 minutes later we come out of the Antique Mall with the said item, as well as a vintage blue pillbox hat (for $7 I couldn't pass it up), and a BUMPER POOL TABLE, for which we have no room, but Adam is sure that we need.  This is to be expected.  We go into an Antique Mall, we naturally anticipate coming out with something we had no intention of buying (we didn't even know we wanted a bumper pool table!).  

What I did NOT expect was to fall head over heels in love with a brown hat.  I will call this hat "Lucille" because she deserves a name.  A brown 1920's cloche with pristine beige, brown and ecru feathers around the brim - "Lucille" is the royal echelon of hats.  I needed this hat.  To my utter despair Adam would not let me buy this hat!  Oh, he brought up several good points.  Good reasons WHY I don't NEED this hat.  But in all honesty,  it isn't fair to expect the man to understand the emotional connection I felt with "Lucille" at that moment. The great depth that was our love!  This hat was meant for me....

I may not have the best head for hats.  I may already filled my weekly hat quota.  I may not have the extra money right now.  "Lucille" might very well sit on my shelf for long months at a time. But I am certain of one thing....she will be mine!  If I have to beg, borrow or steal....   

Stay tuned for the conclusion of this great love story, I have a feeling a happy ending is on the way!!!
