Blue grass, bourbon and branch water, Mint Juleps, silks, jockeys, thoroughbreds, on the rail, wreath of roses and the Winner’s Circle – This is the stuff of The Kentucky Derby!! NOT QUITE!
True, watching the pounding hooves, sleek spectacular horseflesh, hearts pumping, binoculars moving in unison following the race is fun BUT really, it’s all about the HATS! Take a look at some of the best of the best Kentucky Derby Day creations.

All these beautiful hats were created by Dee’s Crafts except for one and I bet you can guess which one.
I Love My Hat!
Bill Ding and his band of clowns are the security patrol for this blog site. He is a favorite toy from the 50*s. By the way sometimes a blog is just an ego-maniacal stream of conscience.
It IS all about the hats. It’s the same on Derby eve-“Oaks” day, which is mainly for the locals. Did we see some original creations! Most are beautiful, but some are way over the top. The Kentucky Derby is a beautiful time of year here. Weather held out, and everything is blooming. I have pictures from years past that I may post one day! Think about coming one year. You’ll be hooked! Oh..don’t forget the hat!
Hi Ruby,
Just had brunch with Chiara and grandgremlins and she mentioned the invite. We both decided it’s on the Bucket List!
What beautiful eyes!!!!!!!!!!
I would love to have the Peacock one? can you buy this anywhere?
Yes (if they will create another one) It came from Dee’s Kentucky Derby Hats. You can find her online just google the name. She is in Kentucky.
