I bought a new hat today - a wide brimmed straw hat with a simple navy petershim ribbon band

I plan to add a few peacock fevvers in a sort of little circle to add a bit of glam
What does the group think?

I would be careful about that, Twellsy.
I have sent you a Signal Message with a Photie of some wired ribbon I have.

That is perfect I just want a bit of jazzing up and a bow of that would just do the trick
My new phone cover needs no jazzingup - itâs black and silver with silver crystal shards on the outside
Worse than a mirrorball it is and I love it!

No it isnât. It is just wire, not wired ribbon. It is pretty and shiny, though: Iâll give it that.

All around my hat I will wear the dynamo coil
All around my hat with the magnets holding it down
The Chatelaine has the perfect stuff so I ask her for a dip in her stash
