Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for July 03, 2022

Ms. Swanson goes in for the ornate hats while Cream Puff prefers the simpler ones.

Oh dear! That hat just simply does not go with that frock!

That jaunty hat Palmer was wearing yesterday looks like her work, minus the feathers. Not that Palmer can’t handle a feather or two.

When you’re the milliner to Ms Swanson, you’re the milliner to the stars.

Is Elsie working on another creation in the background?

I love kittie’s titfer!!!

Elsie makes hats to die for.

Is that some of Mrs. Higglepooder’s garden fencing on Mrs. Swanson’s head? Ooo, she’s gonna be mad…

“Wee wee, mon sewer”, says the cat…

She is Elsie’s cat milliner as well.

Elsie was bred just for that position.. a family tradition that goes back since the time of King Arthur.

Keep straights out of the millenary!

People don’t wear enough hats. :)

Is Mrs. Swanson’s first name “Millie?”

Cream Puff looks good in her chic hat.
