| 'The Hat' in France... |
The Professor meant that his travelling hat with its pin collection was worthy of a blog entry, so here it is...
:-)
The hat was bought at Animal Kingdom in Orlando, Florida about 7 years ago.
It is his trusted travelling companion against the sun when we are on holidays and the pins represent the various cities we have visited.
The challenge is that pins don't seem to be as 'in' as they used to be... It means we normally have to spend quite a long time looking for a pin when we come to a new place... (sigh)
The hat is becoming full of pins and rather heavy, in my opinion.
But he proudly wears it when we are on holiday so I guess the collecting continues...
'The Hat' and pins are now safely packed away till next year.
I guess there are worse souvenirs you can buy...
Ja definitivt finnes det verre suvenirer....jeg lurer ofte på hvem i all verden det er som kjøper alt "skrotet" som selges på hvert et gatehjørne i feriebyene...I alle fall ikke meg!
ReplyDeleteHi, hi, det kunne sikkert vært verre:-) Trøst deg med at disse suvenirene tar liten plass og ikke gjør så mye av seg, for det fins jammen meg ufattelig mange stygge og smakløse suvenirer rundt omkring.
ReplyDeleteSjarmerende, om enn ikke så praktisk med et stadig tyngre hodeplagg. Pins var jo helt vilt populært under Lillehammer-OL.
ReplyDeleteKära Mette,
ReplyDeletehaha, visst är de roliga ibland, männen, som har synpunkter på vad vi borde blogga om... :-) Men du har ju rätt i att det kunde vara värre souvenirer det rörde sig om, dessa är ju ganska diskreta... :-) Faktiskt en ganska trevlig tradition!
Och den tiggande katten i inlägget innan - helt underbar bild! Och visst är det katten som är konstnären, det syns ju lång väg!
Stor kram till dig och hoppas du haft en fin sommar!
