I wonder if anyone ever wore a bowl of fish?<br /><br />I could never figure out how a hatpin secured the hat to one's head. As a child I would try on hats of my mother's with a pearl stick pin and thought you had to actually stick your head with it. I opted out.<br /><br />A most interesting post, thank you.<br /><br />KatKat Mortensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16877694888419628533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4821243838031243709.post-40362621708545655042009-05-14T05:02:00.000-07:002009-05-14T05:02:00.000-07:00Hi Sandra & Dave:

She would always carefully place a huge hatpin in her hat, saying that no man had better try anything on with her. She looked like she meant it!Dave Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08430484174826768488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4821243838031243709.post-91055871756294208262009-05-13T20:34:00.000-07:002009-05-13T20:34:00.000-07:00Many years ago, I knew a woman who kept a hatpin i...Many years ago, I knew a woman who kept a hatpin in the driver's side visor of her car - for self-defense.

They were always on her dresser and I loved looking at them when I was a girl.<br /><br />Taxidermy?! Hmm.
