EASTER PARADE • nyc 2017 • Tom and Margo and Jane

We first met years ago in the Easter Parade.……….and have remained friends…….sharing our love for hats………..Easter and otherwise.

Margo made the hats for Jane and herself….POM POMS…..Birdies and Feathers.

Margo and Karan……..sans Easter Hat……..but next year he says………

Fifth Avenue early in the morning before thew tourists descend.

Charming child………eggs and a birdie too.

This group of ladies created some of the most spectacular hats in the parade.

Jane passed out a basket full of lollies and eggs to tiny children in the parade.

I din’t have the time to create a new hat…………luckily I saved the one I made last year.  A German tourist insisted on buying it……….$100……$200……..final offer, $300.

Nancy Kwan and her papermania hat.  We loved it.

I promised them next year I would wear my Easter suit.  This year it was 82º .  HOT HOT HOT
