I Could Write a Sonnet About My Easter Bonnet

Today after work, we had a fun Easter bonnet party at the library for the library staff.  The party included a fondue potluck meal, some fun and games, door prizes, and lots and lots of hats.  


We brought in or made or decorated Easter bonnets to wear during the day while working at the library and for the party tonight.  It was funny to see some of the looks we got from our patrons about our hats.  Some were brave enough to ask us about why we were wearing them.  Others were not.  It was an amusing way to spend the day at work.


This is the hat that I brought.  There wasn't much to it, really.  I wrapped a scarf around a straw hat and stuck some flowers on one side and a little plastic bunny and egg on the other.  

Some of my coworkers, though, really went all out with their Easter bonnets and even brought along other accessories such as gloves, sunglasses, purses, handkerchiefs, and so forth to go with their hats.

There was also an Easter display in the glass case in the Local History room where we had our party. 

We enjoyed a fun fondue meal along with salad, deviled eggs, and jelly bean cupcakes.  (I brought the jelly bean cupcakes.)

We had fun clowning around and playing dress up.

This butterfly hat was my favorite of all that were brought in for the party.

The games were fun too.  I won a couple of cool door prizes.

I thought you might enjoy seeing the end clip from the movie "Easter Parade" with Fred Astaire and Judy Garland.  It's Friday night!  Come on, put on a hat and dance with me!
