My husband and our oldest daughter are together today in the nation's capital. Early this morning, they woke and walked together to the Washington Monument and beyond, to participate in the making of history. I spoke with them early this afternoon. They are elated, emotional and a little exhausted but are sharing and making memories today that will last a lifetime.
I thought this particular piece of vintage ephemera appropriate, considering the occasion and it's celebratory nature. It's this month's freebie - so please send me a photo if you are inspired by it to be creative.

I decided to double up on the vintage ephemera this month... so many beautiful images with ladies and their hats. I heard a commentary on VPR this morning about the criticism hurled at Aretha Franklin regarding her now famous inaugural finery: "Gerzina: Easter bonnets and Aretha's hat", By Gretchen Gerzina. It is worth reading and gives a new perspective on ladies wearing hats as a show of R-E-S-P-E-C-T. http://www.vpr.net/episode/45802/ . 
I love to provide monthly ephemera "freebies". All I ask is that you share what you make with the rest of us. Thanks.
