He would make hats for me as a child for Easter. I remember him telling me that he made a hat for Miss America, Bess Meyerson. Great memories. I have yet to find one in Oklahoma where I now live.

She definitely seems a master of feathers to me, I never thought to make the connection to their Edwardian use and her early start in the business. It seems she never tired of them, and neither do I! <br /><br />And Happy New Year to you as well! I hope the holidays have been good to you and yours <3 Look for something in the mail soon :)Bianca Espositohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01541302311277420740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3482142516265173452.post-61597039816926034462015-12-31T16:32:16.640-07:002015-12-31T16:32:16.640-07:00I've heard of this milliner, but never looked ...I've heard of this milliner, but never looked into her history. I had no clue she just changed her name to Carnegie, I assumed she was part of the family, haha!<br />Thank you for enlightening me!<br />I can't wait to see what hat you're creating~ Happy New Year!<br /><br />Carla, <a href="http://tinyangrycrafter.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Tiny Angry Crafts</a><br />Carlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04494877480053351419noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3482142516265173452.post-20055984820165707432015-12-31T07:46:33.228-07:002015-12-31T07:46:33.228-07:00Magnificent examples of Hattie's work. I canno...Magnificent examples of Hattie's work. I cannot think of her creations and not see visions of feathers, as many of the examples here highlight. She was such a master of them and in many ways, her work somewhat kept alive the late Victorian and Edwardian tradition of using them liberally in millinery work (not that it died out after that time frame, it didn't of course, but few famous designers used them as generously - or, perhaps even more so, creatively - on hats as she did).<br /><br />Thank you very much for another stellar installment in this series. I lap up each and every one of them!<br /><br />Huge hugs & endlessly happy New Year's wishes, my beautiful friend!<br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.com
