During the first summer that I covered my head during Mass I stuck mostly to Chapel Veils. Last summer though, with a grabby one year old intent on snatching my veil off my head, no matter how securely I fastened it with pins, I began to look at hats.
This one, from Target, was one was an instant favorite.
These days hats are just as much a target for Sadie's better coordinated toddler hands as the veils were last year. And so I've been sticking with snoods most weeks.
Once in a while, after the memory of the last Mass that I wore a hat to has faded, I'll give it another try... and Sadie will remind me, with a rather rough game of peekaboo (the brim of this hat is just perfect for peekaboo) why I started collecting snoods.
I wonder if there's going to be a time, before Maggie is coordinated enough to grab my veils and hats, when Sadie will have stopped, and I'll be able to switch things up a little...
For now though, it's snoods! I guess it's a good thing that I have two that I like!
Cute! My latest summer hat is a fedora and both bubs and husband keep stealing it from me!
ReplyDeleteI was actually wondering whether you'd had Maggie...you went from a "Contractions' post to a day of silence and I thought she must have come!! (I'm sure the real reason was that you were unpacking!)
