My bonnets and “bonheur”

A fashion on my topmost

I love wearing hat and bonnet. I’ve been collecting both since 1991 after I moved to The Netherlands.I have quite a lots of them by now. But as we are in winter right now,let me show off solely some of my bonnets I have and I will advert some hats later when the summer approaches
In the beginning of my collection of some bonnets,I often bought them from shops, mostly because of the weather, let’s say, just to cuddle my head and to keep it warm in the winter time.Its function was purely to protect my topmost from the wind, the cold, the drizzle,the snow or whatever what matters to the head and the hair.

But nowadays, the function of a bonnet for me, (I think,also for a lots of modern women of these days) is more than what mentioned above.I apply it  as a piece of ornament which give me fairly much pleasure,joy and uniqueness. It’s been merged  as a fashion on my topmost.


So I barely care whether it’s cold,windy,drizzly,snowy or even rainy. I put it on whenever I feel like to.As I always treat myself special, I then treat my bonnet special too. I would make it distinctive. When I have bought a plein bonnet from a shop,for example, I would adorn it with a flower or a bow. Lately,it’s a bit difficult to find a bonnet I truly like,not quite sure whether I became more selective as well as wisier with purchasing or there’s really nothing so cute or pleasingly preferable in shops I run into. But never mind, I just decided to make it myself currently. And I am very proud, contented and cheerful with the products I made. (see the pic.on the right and below. These are the latest ones I made during the Chrismas evening while sitting watching movie on our cozy couch )



As mentioned above,I’m still gathering quite a lots of bonnets at present after having already thrown some away. As years have gone by, some are worn out, obsolete or dowdy, and I didn’t like them any more. Some were relegated to the public textile box so that I won’t  see them again. And here they are,some outstanding,colorful and floral ones that are still in use and I'm fond of them fairly pretty much.They are not only just a “bonnet” but they are also such “bonheur” ,a happiness and pleasure ,and definitely a headgear fashion on my topmost.I also love to wear it during the cooking workshop,it can be served perfectly as a chefcap.
