Sunrise 1.2.20
The rest of the morning was spent hitting thrift stores and my favorite antique store with my friend Gwen and of course I had to snap a few iPhone pics

Of course I found something I just couldn't live without...a new vintage hat! Once I got it home, the research began as I tried to figure out what kind of vintage hat I had and when and where it was made. Then, it was time for the first selfie of 2013:
1940's Bavarian hand-felted sheeps wool hat.
The beautiful bird feathers are held into place with a silver Gamsbart pin adorned with a boars head.
There wasn't much time for art but my new hat did inspire me to practice watercolor:

I love the watercolor and hat!! That walk sounds wonderful! As downpouring (not a word, but it is now!) as it was, I did enjoy the walk up to Neuschwanstein. Would like to enjoy a walk like that on a nice morning. :-)
Lol to wearing your new (old) hat around the house and pretending you're in a Bavarian forest! I like your thinking :)
