  2. 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!!

  5. 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.

  7. 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
