Girls Just Want to Have Fun!

Claudia and Marta are two of my favorite customers. They came in with their mother the other day and tried on some of the vintage hats. Born to model! Don't they look great!? These delightful young ladies come by Wellers often for ice cream or just to browse and have fun.

'Bout Time!

Where does the time go? Summer is half over already and I'm getting behind on posting pictures.

Here are some visitors who always have a lot of fun at Wellers! Diane Rait and her granddaughter, Kailey, like to spend time shopping together in the store. They have a ball looking at all the vintage items and they always bring home something wonderful.



Here they are trying on hats and they both look gorgeous!


Kailey finally decided on the 1920s cloche pictured in one of the previous posts. (As you can see, she really looked great in all of the hats.)

Hats Are Back!

Is it just me or are women starting to wear more hats again? I've been noticing more and more hats lately - especially in church on Sundays.

When I was a little girl, I often wished I was big enough to wear hats to church like my mom did. Oh, sure, I had my new Easter outfit every year, complete with hat and matching handbag, but it just wasn't the same as those sexy little hats with feathers and nets or the wide brimmed hats with ribbons and flowers. I remember being fascinated by the process of making hats, too. My mother and her friends would gather together some afternoons with all their millinery forms and flowers and make the most beautiful hats. If I was lucky there were scraps that I could glue together for my dolly.





As you might imagine, I have a weakness for lovely hats and can't help myself when I come across some nice vintage specimens. Expect Wellers to always have at least a small selection of vintage millinery and accessories on hand.
