Fifth hat

Hat No 5 and latest in my collection is without question a fun little number.
From ebay seller somethingtellsme!!! , this sweetie is made of velvet with a bow on top and is embellished with yummy berries and, er...some furry bits. It came with a purple feather hat pin, but that one is a little shabby and also, I feel, a bit too much on top of everything else.
Anyway, while we played around I realized once again how clumsy I am and incapable of attaching a hat to my head by means of hat pin only. Hm, more practice is needed, for sure. And perhaps more hat pins too :).

Erik Satie Gnossienne No. 1 by Tzvi Erez, piano

With the risk of overdoing it I wanted to post this other interpretation of Satie's piece I came across. It lacks perhaps some of the refinement in the notes, the forever haunted feeling the other one leaves you with, yet it is somehow more forceful, stronger, of a non resigned desperation, less final. I initially tried to include it in my other post but it wouln't work. So let me share my obsession with you once again.

Also sharing my black wool felt 1940's tilt hat, which is the vintage item I paid the most for so far. It was one of those cases when you have to have it, or else you might have a stroke. I chose the hat, and we've been happy ever since. From lovely UK seller pussyfootvintage.
