Venerdi in Venice : If the Boater Fits

I've been slow to hop on board the boater hat trend. In fact, I haven't. Being five foot two, I don't need to plant a bottle cap on my head thusly and thereby verily taking another couple of inches off the overall demeanour of my height. No, thank ye.
But ~ today's illustrated tour of Venice called for it, and while I don't believe in air-brushing, I'm not averse to adding a foot to my stature when paint-brushing. Boater Hat Crisis: averted.
So come, let us hitch a ride with yonder kitty gondolier who happens to be moonlighting as a florist. Or is he daylighting? No matter. I have it on good authority there's a galvanised bucket of ice with a bottle of Prosecco that has our name on it. And a few spare armfuls of blooms that fell off the back of another gondola. Nudge nudge, wink wink, say no more. And on that note ...
Happy Venerdi in Venice to you !
I haven't boarded the boater wagon either - in fact I didn't know there was one. Just noticed your bookworm prints. Hmmm............

My finger is sometimes late on the pulse, Debs, so like the canals in Venice when the acqua alta is over, the trend might already be subsiding... :) The bookworm print is a rather popular one ~ I'm glad there are so many book lovers in the world!! Have a beautiful weekend, lovely. x0
DeleteI didn't know there was a boater wagon either! But I have a boater, and except for a winter cap it's the only hat I wear—in public, that is. I have a wide-brimmed thing for working in the back yard, but when I wear it I'm all hat and no me.
ReplyDeleteThen you're serendipitously on trend, Petrea ~ which surely makes you wiser than deliberately being on trend!! Happy weekend to you, J and dear Wilma.
DeleteI remember our kitty gondolier with a gondola full of flowers from when Pierre posted the link to you on his Venice photo a day! That's how we "met".
ReplyDeleteHope you are enjoying this spring day down under.
Your memory always impresses me, dear Michelle !! Indeed, this is not the first kitty gondolier with flowers we have seen Chez Shell. Baci, bella! Happy weekend to you and Diavolo.
DeleteWhat I meant to say was, "THIS one is the first ..." ;)
