    I marvel at the color & beauty of the paintings for the book of hours.

    My favorite is the middle straw hat! but my REAL favorite is the "habits" the nuns wore!

    Were those nuns? They looked like "nuns" habits! Instead of black and ivory.....they were blue and ivory....I think the most elegant clothes I have seen in my life......have been nun's habits......

    Love the post.....and love the beauty! Bravo!!

    ps the size of the cathedral in the background made me think they were nuns.....

    Maybe you know more! In any case...I love their type of "uniform"

    Beautiful and simple.
    thank you again for a magnificent post!

    Just yesterday afternoon I was enchanted to drive by a field near Darlington House where the farmers were haying. It was a lovely sight, indeed.

    I have always loved this book of hours--but never thought much about the straw hats. Thanks for the new perspective. Have a great week. Mary
