Lady Kendra’s Hats
Jul 23rd
I have just discovered that my latest heroine, Lady Kendra Townsend, loves hats! It’s funny (and so much fun!) how a character continues to develop even during the editing process. When she first meets Captain Colburn (the hero) she is wearing a monsterous purple number with lots of feathers that droop into her eyes. Here are some photos I found of some fabulous hats!
I picture Kendra wearing something like this when she meets Dorian for the first time.
I would love to wear this one, wouldn’t you?
So Sweet!
Love this dress too!
Straw hats were all the rage in late 1700′s – early 1800′s
The “Picture Hat” made famous by Georgiana, the Duchess of Devonshire.
I think this is my favorite!
Okay, what about you? Do you like hats? Do you wear them? Do you wish we still wore hats like this?
Born in the small, historical town of Vincennes, Indiana, Jamie is the oldest of five children. When she was six, her parents accepted Christ as their Savior, which changed everything. Excited about Jesus, her dad decided to take a giant leap of faith and start a church. Some of her favorite memories are the road trips she used to take with her dad, driving to home Bible studies across southern Indiana where Jim would preach. After a night of teaching and ministry, they would drive home and talk of things beyond earth’s bounds - creation and the fall, God and Jesus and the rapture, the earthly walk compared to the spiritual walk, and how we are born for more than what we can see or touch. The highlight of those nights was stopping at a truck stop where her dad would spend a little of the offering basket on two slices of pie and a couple of Cokes. Nothing ever felt so special as a middle of the night slice of pie with her dad. As Jamie grew closer to God and developed her own relationship with Him, she discovered a heart welling with songs and poetry.
