At the Ag Fair on Martha’s Vineyard Island recently, i was fascinated by this unusual and beautiful hat that a woman sported. As she sat on a bench for a moment’s rest, her hat looked especially lovely.

Quite unusual, don’t you think? Reminds me of my camping gear collapsable drinking cups! Could this be a collapsable waste basket? Hmmm? lol Good one, Phil. :-)

It reminds me of a “Cinnabon” Bun(those Giant Cinnamon Buns that they sell @ the mall)so it appeals to both my eyes & my stomach:-)!

so true!! Pour a little powdered sugar syrup over the hat and you’ve got it!
