May Mad Hatter Day Celebration 2015!



      courtousy of Pinterest


Welcome Fab Hatters!  Glorious temps above freeZing have graced northern Ontario!  

MAY is a month to fling open the windows , and bounce around Happy to have survived 
another winter!  This weekend has gifted us all with a bright shining full moon, full of hope 
and the promise of new Beginings. 
I quickly hunt out my best bike riding attire, sun hat and all.  Make endless lists and dreams of more creative adventures.  
We all adore dressing up, regardless of time. I have always admired Hats!  and the best Hatter was of course Mad!  I imagine anyone who dedicates their life's blood to their passion would appear that way, but I question ?
Symptoms..distorted vision, confused speech, hallucinations and my ️favorite, " hatters shakes"

ThiS is sounding familiar?  Are they confusing aging ?  Then call me a Mad Hatter !

My favorite vintage shop is a wonderful place to visit to affirm the existance of magick and make believe!  Come! I will take you there!


North Bay Ontario Canada


Wonderful mirror to make you smile! 


 Looking up, huge, vibrant, oil paintings by the amazing shop owner Lynn Compton


We all love Art and Fashion joining in to disguise reality....a Snail purse! Or a Clock puRse



Telephone Tote!  That's the one!


But Hats! yes Hatts!  Express your inner Madness!  




On the ceiling, on the walls, upstairs and down,  Art and Imagination explosion!! everywhere!



" My wilD oats become shredded wheat".....Talent, Vision and Humour!  who could ask for more I Love this shop!  Thank you so much Lynn Compton for allowing me to share .   You are all welcome any time!


Thrilled with such a wonderful May Day, my new additions to the Imaginarium are anxious to show off !

Pulling tiny bits of straw from my hair, and making everyone photo ready, I am Mad to present



From your left to riGht

    Love your post it's utterly mad and full of spring brightness just like your little dollies in their seasonal hats. I'd love to wander in that shop, that ornate mirror is gorgeous and the sign is brilliant.

    I'll wander around all the other party hatters tonight.

  12. I know you posted those lovely red hats to torment me, didn't you? Love the one in the third picture. So yummy looking! One of these days, you need to take me in one of exploration trips... I will get home with no money at all. LOL!

    Thanks so much for hosting. I almost didn't make it, I know... but I'm glad you made the party long enough that I could enjoy the last few hours. I have a bag to take home all the yummy bits other people overlooked. :-D
