How it Began -
a piece of styrofoam inside a wire brim and the
imagination of the two RV Gypsies (mostly Lee Duquette)

Almost finished
and the butterflies LIT UP and BLINKED

Below: Then two SPINNING pinwheels were added that also LIT UP.

Below: Party Time in Boca Raton, Florida - and the Easter Bonnet Contest

Karen Duquette posed for a lot of photos. Judges said the bonnet had a real WOW factor! As the first place winner, Karen got to choose between a blender or a gift certificate of unknown value and she chose the gift certificate which turned out to be $25 at Walgreens. (She already had a blender so she was happy with her choice).

Below: Karen Duquette helped a her friend who lives on the West Coast of Florida make a hat for his Easter party at a private clubhouse. Although the two RV Gypsies were not on the west coast of Florida when Doc wore it, he was a big hit at the party. But then again, Doc is always the star of any party.

Just for fun - below are photos of last year's winning Easter bonnet (2016). The Front and back were designed differently. Easter bonnets from other years can be seen by choosing the red letter E at the bottom of most pages and scrolling down to Easter, or by clinking here.
