Need A Tea Party Hat?

 

In my opinion, no tea party is complete without a hat.  A large, elegant hat screams…I am in the mood for fun!  The Original Tree offers a wide variety of quality affordable hats.  Choose your decor.  Your hat base can be white, black or even brown.  Hats are large and in charge!

When you aren’t using your new hat consider displaying it somewhere in your house.  Hats make great interior decor and they ALWAYS get people talking.

Be the “hostess with the mostest” and grab a fun tea time hat.
