Finally... and some stuff about Dutch straw hats (picture heavy post)

Being sick sucks, and it's a lousy excuse for not posting, but there it is, and I can't get away from it.  Pennsic was physically rather challenging, though I had a great time, but at the end of War week, it had become rather obvious that I was on a downward turn again.  I see my doctor on Monday

I spent a chunk of Pennsic trying to find an appropriately shaped hat to turn up in back like these farmers in the Grimani Breviary (Flemish, 1520ish): http://pinterest.com/pin/264868021807524804/

Honestly, short of going to a custom hat-maker, the Williamsburg hats come the closest to the low-crown ones. I'm still looking for the perfect hat, too.

Maybe one of these days, I'll take up hat-making. :P

My problem is the the correct low crowned hats (with a slightly narrower brim because I have the smallest face in the world) never seem to be around when I want to buy them...

It was so good to see you! I am sorry I didn't make it over to your camp to sit and chat. :D
