Oh boy do I love antiquing!!!

As much as I hate getting out of my warm bed on cold Minnesota days, I am forever grateful to my friend for making me get up this time. We went antiquing in Anoka today and I struck gold in the first shop I entered. I had been looking all over FOREVER for the hat that Violet wore when she was leaving town to head to New York in It's A Wonderful Life. It's a front tilt hat made of brown fur, which I am assuming is mink and it's GORGEOUS!!!! It was only $8.50 too, which makes it all the more swell! :) My friend thought it was atrocious, but she does not appreciate that style like I do. My camera is not working at the moment, so here is a picture of Violet, from It's a Wonderful Life. :) Now all I need to do is to figure out how to get my hair like that, with the bouncy curls on top and I will be all set. Any suggestions?!
