Hi Lisa,

Welcome to my group and thank you for the very unique photographs.

I hope that others will add pictures of Hattie to the Gallery.

Sisterly regards,

Hi Queen Puppymomma,

Three recipients added to the weight and cost of Hattie after me. I sent Hattie to the next person by UPS, which is less expensive than the United States Postal Service and I put everything in one box. If you and the shipping service are careful, you can use the same box that Hattie arrives in providing it is in good shape. The UPS cost to send Hattie from New York to North Carolina was about $12 on 13 September 2007.

The last recipient of Hattie should know the recent shipping costs. If you wish, I'll send her E-mail address. The present Queen is taking Hattie to a few events and probably will be adding to the overall weight. Recipients sometimes add memorable articles to Hattie's baggage which also adds to the weight.

Reducing Hattie's baggage takes away from the enjoyment of seeing and reading about where Hattie has been and with whom.

If you want to reserve Hattie, I also know who has Hattie now and can send you the present Queen's E-mail address.

If you go to a big event with Hattie, don't be surprised if the ones in charge ask you to come up to the microphone and speak about Hattie's history, where the hat has been, and where it is going.

The Home page of this Blog indicates a URL and if you click on it, there are fifteen pages of information about Hattie. Present day information is on page fifteen.

Photographs can just show the hat and new pins that have changed Hattie's appearance. When Hattie was in my possession, I rearranged her pins trying to separate them by States and Countries. Sometimes the address is displayed on the back of a pin.

Postcards, photographs, etc., are added to Hattie's calendar indicating RHS events.

Hi Lisa,

Thank you for your kind words!

There are now five Galleries that I just finished editing. I also added some photographs to the Public Gallery.

Hi Queen Puppymomma,

The experience of having Hattie is enjoyable.

Currently, I'm editing Hattie's Gallery, which means that I'm temporarily moving photos around, so any pictures that are missing will be replaced.

Hi Bling-Bling,

Thank you for the compliment!

I can't wait to see your photographs!

No, we haven't heard from Hattie's owner. I don't know anyone who has heard from Janice. It would be nice to have a JPEG of her that I would add to Hattie's Gallery.

Thanks, Bling-Bling!

For those of you who don't know, Bling-Bling is in the front on our left. This really is a wonderful photograph for the Site/Blog!

Please post where the picture was taken and the year.

Thanks again,
Carol Ann

Bling-Bling, thanks for the information and photograph!

Hattie arrived safe and sound in Hamilton, Ontario, Canada. Queen Kathi put Hattie to bed after her long trip from Morris County, New Jersey and Queen Iris.

I think Hattie is going to have an exciting time!

Hi Pat,

I would like to meet all of you, but I've been so busy that I'll have to settle for getting to know members online.

Have fun and say hello to Hattie for me.

HAPPY LABOR DAY 2008!

Hattie has arrived in great shape here in McKinney, TX. 

Her next event will be to go to the "TX QMBers"  get together in Granbury, TX.  There she will get to tour the charming city and go on a Riverboat ride.

Back in McKinney, she will be honored at my chapter's anniversary party on Nov. 26th, the next Queen's meeting and several other events during the holiday season.
