Hats off to you - and on display at our house

I don't know exactly how it happened, but in recent years we seem to have collected some very cool hats at our house.   The three felt hats were all market finds - I picked the first one up at Port Fairy, another at Daylesford and one at Coburg.  The Truffaux straw hat came from a pop up hat shop at Sorrento.

I kept the hats stacked in a cupboard until recently when I inherited a beautiful old hat block.  I then acquired a taller hat stand (which I meant to give to my brother-in-law for his barrister's wig but didn't).  And now this week, while scouring secondhand shops on the Mornington Peninsula, I came across a very elegant old brass shop fitting ($28).  It sits even higher than the others and will hold a hat on each side.  I think they look great together.
