About Me
- La Dolfina
- I am a passionate treasure huntress addicted to "the thrill of the hunt." I pride myself on finding unique items and have spent a lifetime collecting unusual and interesting "treasures" which I have used in decorating our home. I shop with an eye for design and look for pieces that I like to call the "jewelry" of the room. Those pieces that have been around accumulating energy thereby bringing life into a space by telling its story or evoking a memory. The allure is found in the details of its journey... condition, provenance and patina. Our collected "treasures" tell the story of who we are. Billy Baldwin said it best, "Decorating is never successful unless it is personal." My treasures are available for purchase in my Etsy Shop and on my companion blog, Shop La Dolfina. The links can be accessed from my sidebar.

Love hats hanging. When my now grown daughter was little, she had a collection of vintage hats that we hung above her bed. Loved it.
Terri, my DIL wants to display some straw hats on a hat rack in her entry, she has a beachy themed home and it would be perfect. I am going to go and check out Il TUr???? Love ya, kathysue
PS did you get my email?
I agree, straw hats are a fun way to style an entry for summer.
xo,
cristin
I agree - these hats looks great with all the white! I think I've got a couple somewhere - I should definitely dig them out and show them off! : ) xx
I love hats...any kind...wear them all summer! They are the perfect summer accessory! Great post!
Fabulous, I make go take a peek.
Do not worry about shipping anything it's safer with you. Besides get your idea house done first!
All these are great but my favourite picture is the third. Lovely to see all the hat photos together. Well done for il tuo tesoro, looks like its really coming together.

They are so great! We bought a super cute vintage Panama hat when we were in Florida and it is very loved.
Great post Terri! Love the hats all lined up in the third picture! I will check out your recent finds from Tahoe in your online store, but am looking forward to shopping in person soon in your "garage."
Wonderful photos Therese. Straw hats are so welcoming! The more the merrier. I'm wearing my Panama as I type ~ Susan
Amazing! Love these photos!
