Martha, We loved the hats too! We saw the shop in Seattle and talked to the
clerk. We told her the same stuff was sold in Canada under the name La
Cache. Same Same she said, just different labels. She gave us a card of La
Cache stores in Canada. Cathy and I go regularly to check out the new
arrivals. Me, of no wardrobe, used to go shopping regularly with Cathy as
she liked my taste. No more though, she seems to wear jeans and shorts all
the time.
I do want to go back to NYC, see the National Museum of History, the
Planetarium, Botanical Gardens, the Met and eat. However, we have a
standing invite to visit Switzerland to see our niece. Ah, dreams,
something to look forward to.
Love, Jeanne
