I don't think this quote from Beckett applies to Che but Che never seemed to be without a hat although not a fedora like this one. I found this sign in the window of Lilliput Hats which is the studio/shop of craftperson Karen Gingras, a traditional milliner who makes all her hats on site. Hopefully not a dying art!

I love it! I don't often expect a Beckett quote in a store-front window.
ReplyDeleteCool -- a real life still existing milliners.
ReplyDeleteI think we don't have a milliner in our city any more. I remember one across from our local high school when I attended it.
ReplyDeleteLooks like something Kathryn Humphreys would wear when she does the sport news on City TV.
ReplyDeletehaha - Andy could be right!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool place!
ReplyDeleteNice hats always come in beautiful boxes. :)
i love that sign.
ReplyDeleteSinatra
ReplyDeleteWe have a custom hat shop here in KC. I have always meant to stop in but have yet to do it.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like it would be an interesting shop. I always loved going to the millinery shop with my mother when I was a young girl.
ReplyDeleteI wonder if the quote will change over time? Maybe next time you pass it will say "If you want to get ahead get a hat!"
ReplyDeletewonderfulwindow:)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great shop! I can't remember when I last saw a millinery shop. And I like hats. When growing up, no self-respecting gentleman would go anywhere without his hat.
ReplyDeleteA handmade hat? Now, THAT would be an indulgence.
ReplyDeleteLove it. Not only quoting Beckett, but still creating hand made hats. Wonderful.
ReplyDeleteI love hats. Look, a sale! And that fedora is wonderful.
ReplyDeleteHis hat can't think without (c)he
ReplyDeleteGreat window display.
ReplyDeleteIt's nice to hear that there are still milliners around!
ReplyDeleteLOL, great advertising for this shop! I just hope they sell Che-style berets too!
ReplyDeleteCool sign! Che's photo poster never change...
ReplyDeleteLooks like 'Lurking Guy' buys his hats from Lilliput Hats!
ReplyDeleteI would love to see her practice her art. I'm really not a hat person but I do admire them on other people.
ReplyDeleteIt seems like a perfect quote for a hat shop!
ReplyDeleteThe quote may not have been meant for Che, but it does fit! Nice find. :)
ReplyDeleteReally cool! :-)
