The Cartoon Horse with Hat-titude
Wow, when is the last time we saw cousin Marcus? We can’t remember. Doesn’t matter. We are glad he is here. And he is as handsome as ever.
To newcomers, Marcus is Hattingdon’s (and Curtis’) first cousin.
Thank you for stopping by.
P.S. Who noticed he is wearing his earring in the opposite ear? Hmmm, wonder if that has some special meaning?
Greetings and welcome! This design is a huge Hattingdon fan favourite.
You have seen those novelty ball caps with antlers, right? Well, that is what inspired Vivian to create a tribute it. Named Rudy, and yes . . . we are talking about the famous reindeer here. Hattingdon loves it. Naturally.
Isn’t this cap a hoot? We hope it has given you a “hatful of smiles”. After all, that is what Hattingdon is for, with some dash and style thrown in.
See you back here tomorrow with another hat.

Hattingdon loves wearing ballcaps. This may be her favorite. The “Amani” ballcap.
The name Amani is from the Swahili — meaning “peace“. It also means “wishes” in Arabic.
Additionally, Amani is also a place on the island of Chios, in Greece.

Hello there. I have been away so long, I guess you could just say I was almost — long gone. But I am back now, for a bit anyway.
Considering the darling hat I am wearing, let’s just say I have “gone shopping”! Tis the Season. . . . right? What have you been up to?
Hugs and kisses, and millinery blisses. See you here again real soon.

Hey, hello there. It’s National Apple Pie Day! Hattingdon doesn’t have an apple pie hat, but she has one featuring apples. It just so happens it is a ballcap celebrating New York City.
Oh, well we were close, kinda, sorta . . . !
• National Apple Pie Day, America’s favorite dessert, is observed annually on May 13th.
• The first apple pie recipe printed was in England in 1381. The list of ingredients included good apples, good spices, figs, raisins, pears, saffron and cofyn (a type of pastry crust).
• While the apple pie existed well before the Pilgrims landed on the eastern shores of what is now The United States, Americans wax poetic about how American apple pie is.
• The phrase “as American as apple pie” has been around for more than 100 years.
