Grandma's Vintage Hat Collection

June 1, 2014

These sweet vintage hats belonged to my grandmother (b1896-d1984). They were stored in boxes from The Paris, a department store that was located in Salt Lake City, UT and operated from the late 1800's until the late 1960s. (The images of the Paris Department store I found online but have been unable to find the original photographer's name to give them credit.)
