A bit too large to handle, hmmm?


     What is a New York-based blog without a peak at the fabulous annual Easter Parade on Fifth Avenue???
 

So this will be short and sweet:



   pictorial of this year's fabulous parade and not to be outdone, some staff photos because somehow, with over 4,000 vintage hats in stock, we always seem to throw one on to brighten up the day!!!

Enjoy!


You have the nutty hat-wearers and then...you have the elegant couples!!!.


so, you think this is TOO much?
oh, Frederick, we seem to have lost our carriage!!

a vision in red
people LOVE to create fantasy hats and stroll 5th Avenue


some people brought their own rabbits ...well, ears, at least!

So many hats were so bright and cheery!
You even had the Tin Man making balloon animals!

the Can-Can line!


nothing like the element of surprise! a distinguished gentleman with a bear in his pocket and  car on his head
