Mystery item revealed.........

















A sombrero that is on display at the Spanish room in which I had substitute taught a week ago.  If you remember the movie "The Three Amigo" the guys had fancy hats like this.  Maybe you want to forget about that movie, but anyway it is one fancy hat with a lot of handwork done on it. The horseshoe motif is an interesting addition to the design.

I didn't see your other post that asked what it was, but as soon as I saw your first photo here, I knew what it was....we've seen many of these on our trips to Mexico!

I had forgotten about the movie The Three Amigos, I remember their hats. It is a fancy hat, that's for sure.

Thanks for stopping by Ann's Moody Blues today. Sorry I confused you with my name change. Gigi just means Great Gramma. Since I'm a Great Gramma I thought I would shorten it to Gigi Ann.
