Hello! How are you? As you can probably tell by the title of this blog post we haven’t had much cloudy weather here in northern Illinois, if at all. As I get older I am trying to be more careful to protect the top of my head and face from the sun. It’s important, right?

We visited the zoo on Monday, and boy was I glad I brought a sun hat; the sun was so strong!!! However, the hat couldn’t help with the heat. Even with my head and face shaded it was still hot–not sure what to do about that.

As I’ve been enjoying the beautiful weather not too much has been happening in my studio, but I wanted to say hi anyway, and since sun hats were front and center in my mind…

My dolls have also enjoyed many sun hats over the past years. I collected a few photos from the past to give you some summery dolly cuties to look at. Shall we start with the tiniest girls first?

If you want to see more photos from the pictured ensembles I linked the photo to the original blog post, so simply click on the photo. Also, for more information on the dolls you can find that on my FAQ page–tab at the top.

I hope this post finds you staying comfortable–cool or warm, depending on where you live. And, enjoying the first day of summer, or winter (yikes–not ready for that one yet!).

I’d love to hear what you are up to on day one of this new season. Please let me know if you’ve got a minute. Hugs from my dolls and I! 🤗
