Name of Hat
Sunny Disposition
Description
Whenever I see a field of sunflowers my mood immediately brightens. I printed Lycra fabric with personal photographs of Sunflowers growing in a Botanical Garden. The bee reminds me that all is transitory as is happiness but when experienced it is everlasting in memory. Truly a sunny hat that elevates the wearer’s mood whenever she wears it.
