Weeding Out The Collection.....

Remember this?

It's time to let some of them go. Sadly. I don't know why, but I am loosing my affinity for piles of things.

I am keeping my 30s Elsa Schiaparelli, some other rarer ones, favorite ones, and gifted ones, of course. But other superfluous hats must find other loving homes. Over 100 hats is just too many for one person, I think. Unless I am going to turn my house into a hat museum. Or unless I am going to wear them. I simply do not wear the hats. Maybe once a year or so, I wear one.  Most of these babies just stay hidden away in hat boxes like this:

Looking back, buying out the entire hat inventory of the closing antiques mall down the road a few years ago was a great idea, except I had trouble actually letting them go.
