Floral Garden Hat Limoges Box with a Blue Bow

A white garden hat dressed with painted flowers and tied with a blue bow gives this hand-painted porcelain Limoges box its fresh, springtime shape. It was made in Limoges, France, and it looks ready for an Easter parade.

Ribbons of Spring Sky

The blue bow is the detail that sets this hat apart, a cool splash of color like a clear April sky above the garden. Combined with the flowers on the white brim, it brings to mind church picnics, garden club luncheons and afternoons spent among the roses.

Hats Off to Mother's Day

It makes a lovely present for a garden club member, a mother or grandmother who loves a good hat, or an Easter morning surprise. Brides who choose blue as their something blue sometimes keep it as a memento. Set it on a vanity, a guest room dresser or a sunny bookshelf. Hat collectors often display it beside its gold bow sister, and the two make a pretty pair.
