When I was little, our school had an "Easter Parade" each year. Everyone made their own hat. The best was chosen, only one from all the grades in lower elementary, and the winner won free ice cream for a whole week! When you are 7 years old, that is like winning the lottery. At least it was in 1978. Maybe things have changed a bit.
Anyway, each year, I began planning my hat weeks in advance. My father would help me and together we would make the most incredible hats you've ever seen. I remember one in particular that started with a paper plate and finished up the most extravagant, beautiful hat you can imagine complete with a huge pink ostrich feather. It has always seemed like such an injustice that I never won the hat day prize. Not once.
So when I set about making a hat for Mary Engelbreit's birthday party this weekend, I tapped into my inner 7-year-old-self and created something of a masterpiece, worthy of a week of free ice cream for sure...
On Monday I'll have a Nutty Buddy...On Tuesday I'll have an Ice Cream Sandwich...On Wednesday I'll have an Orange Push-Up...

You deserve as much ice cream as you want. Your hat is just lovely!
((squeee!!!)) Oh my goodness, that is the cuuuuuutest!!
I would have liked to have seen more hats like that at the royal wedding. You could have worn it with a 1950's party dress and been the envy of all.

Absolutely darling! Very creative, but that is YOUR style!!! Cute cute cute!
Wow Amy. So cute! Right down to the pink fork. By the way, my 12 and 14 year old girls would still think that ice cream for a week was like winning a lottery! Some things, thankfully, never change.
So fun! I had a Mad Hatter's Tea party for the girls in my wedding and gave each one a different hat (mostly straw) to decorate. It was a blast! Thinking back I should have given the winner ice cream instead of a gift basket . . . :) Do they still make those orange Push Ups??
Very artistic! thanks for sharing this.
Amy, That is just adorable. I am just concerned that we have no Orange Pushups in the house and now I want one for breakfast!
