Although it may not seem like it in today’s 90 degree heat, summer has come to an end. Labor Day has passed, the kids are back in school, and we’re already planning the Christmas decorating at Hammond-Harwood House. However, I think we should all honor the end of summer one last time by donning a fabulous hat like those in this French fashion print from 1778. I want the straw hat with the striped pouf on the upper left. Which one will you be sporting this weekend?
