Hats - TT

Hats is the theme over at Theme Thursday this week. I thought of my ancestor Sallie Rhea, who probably never left the state of Tennessee. She is shown here in her gorgeous hat.  I borrowed this lovely Monet painting from Dover Publications for a backdrop. This is a digital 4x4.

I just discovered some wonderful free clip art of Victorian Ladies in hats on Graphics Fairy.

    Sally Rhea may never have left the State of Tennessee but she is very stylish and looks very comfortable in her new surroundings. Great work, Faye!!

    I wonder if Sallie knows she finally made it out of Tennessee! She looks quite elegant in her Venice setting, Faye. Good work!
