Slip on this glittering purple flower basket hat and shine on, on those days when mood, hair, and outfit are questionable and you'd like a bit of sparkle. Upcycled from an open weave small basket, a flower with star-like petals covered in delicious raspberry-purple glitter, and purple and black puzzle pieces, this whimsical fascinator will surely attract uplifting smiles, if not full-on giggles. And nothing like a smile adds joy to one's day. The embellished basket is affixed to a black satin headband that is easy to take off and put on. And because the basket is slightly cocked, you'll look coiffed, even when re-crowning without a mirror. Embrace your wacky feminine, Goddess, and live the questions!

  • The upcycled basket on this one-of-a-kind whimsical fascinator is made of open weave wicker. Angled to one side and slightly over the forehead, it is fixed on a black satin headband, which makes removal and recrowning of the lightweight hat easy, for say, getting in and out of your car. 

    The small basket itself and all its embellishments are repurposed materials and perfectly imperfect findings saved from a landfill. The glitter-covered raspberry flower is made of an open net-like plastic. They look like poinsettias and, I imagine, were decorations for a fellow purple lover's Christmas. The puzzle pieces at the flower's center, are basically purple, but the darker color is puzzling and only hints at black.

    The headband is new.
