This week-end’s hat is a stunning chapeau made from a rattle-snake skin.  Yes, I said rattlesnake. Take a look. 

The hat was designed by  22 year old milliner Ashley Lloyd, whose inspiration was a rattlesnake skin given to her by her father.  He shot it and skinned it and she turned it into a hat… and a very lovely one it is too.

You can read more about Ashley Lloyd at The Vine.com.  where I found the wonderful photo of this fabulous hat….. hmmmmm so I guess I should give a tip of the hat to The Vine. com.  Consider my hat tipped :-)

Happy Week-end everyone.  Watch out for rattlesnakes.
