I am fascinated by all things sunbonnet, and have been making them, myself, since I was introduced to Lincolnshire sunbonnets back in 1983, when I worked at a museum in Lincoln (UK).<br />This one probably originated in Somerset/Wiltshire, since it was bought from the museum in Bath. <br />I really need to have a go at making this one, now. :-DSandihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05151367327837587054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5981649271574500877.post-89372277567337258522012-03-03T22:56:37.238-06:002012-03-03T22:56:37.238-06:00That bonnet is a pure treasure.What a lovely "...That bonnet is a pure treasure.What a lovely "adopted heirloom" for the girls. There used to be a little old woman who lived nearby. She looked as fragile as a wisp, old as Methuselah and wore little cotton dresses and a big bonnet,much like yours (but not so fine) The funny thing is that the only time I would ever see her, she was sitting atop a rider mower, cutting her grass! It seemed such an anachronism. Seeing your bonnet made me think of her.jerilandershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07418564262425621746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5981649271574500877.post-78713416901660568722012-03-02T12:19:12.516-06:002012-03-02T12:19:12.516-06:00What a darling bonnet.

It is a wonderful "find." <br /> I used to dress my little girls in calico sun bonnets (from a museum store) when they played outside in the back yard in Tennessee. Sun screen in those days was harsh. They didn't know bonnets were not a normal thing. <br />Karen A.Karen Andreolahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12135239838790568639noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5981649271574500877.post-23775205610363212012012-02-29T14:18:37.995-06:002012-02-29T14:18:37.995-06:00OH yay!

You would have a time with my mother if you could visit her sewing room and see her bonnets. She would know what you speak of with the ruffles, cording, etc., as she has pored over many an antique pattern wondering the same thing: how in the world did they do it! <br /><br />Hope your day is wonderful!<br /><br />Love, <br />LynnLynn Hastyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16367660287680792496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5981649271574500877.post-75197443717456542202012-02-27T17:27:49.022-06:002012-02-27T17:27:49.022-06:00I love hats, bonnets and all the etc's...I wis...I love hats, bonnets and all the etc's...I wish they were more in style, well I guess we could start a new trend? :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04674371927509456080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5981649271574500877.post-52344203451364190982012-02-26T20:26:54.821-06:002012-02-26T20:26:54.821-06:00Oh how lovely...the bonnet and the quilt - a piece...Oh how lovely...the bonnet and the quilt - a piece of history so well loved.<br /><br />con mucho carino,<br /><br />m.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5981649271574500877.post-87336559723593867672012-02-26T09:33:01.126-06:002012-02-26T09:33:01.126-06:00Beautiful bonnet!!
