Sara was also one of the founders of the Society of Gustafs Skål and she dressed in 18th century, she dressed in any century with a flair and elegance that few can manage. She could dress as the extremest of fashion plates and look just natural. The last time I saw her I bought some straw hats from her that she imported them herself from Romania. Today would have been her 42nd birthday and Gustafs Skål has gathered in the park of Haga castle to remember her. I'm unable to attend, so instead I have finished one of the hats. I don't have the flamboyant style Sara had, but I have tried to make a hats that is flamboyant for me. She would have told me if she had loved it. She would have told me if she had hated it too.
I picked my inspiration from this painting.

Lovely hat, lovely post.
Dear Isis,
She must have been a special friend indeed: her photo gives a little sense of that. You are lucky to have had such a good friend. Uniqueness takes bravery!
You hat becomes you so well!
Very best,
Natalie

Juliet: Thank you!
I had a chance of meeting her just once. It was in May this year. She was so amazing that I still think about her quite often. She first amazed me with her beautiful and elegant dance performance, and later in the evening when we talked, laughed and even cried a little together, she amazed me with her wisdom. I was devastated to hear of her passing. She made such an impression on me and I was really looking forward to see our small plans realized. I can't even begin to imagine how devastating it's been for you who knew her well.
Augustinytär: You clearly had the full Sara-effect. :) She was a very speciel person, indeed.
