Martha's Attic

I love this old doll carriage.  I found this recently at a local estate sale.  I am so glad I bought it.  I have been looking online for some time and have not seen another like it.  What I think is unusual is the oil cloth lining, and that it has a quilted look with the red tacks.  This carriage is available here .  All offers will be considered. 

I am not a hat person.  I do not wear hats, I don't look good in hats.  I recently purchased several old postcards of women and their extraordinary hats.  I wonder about the weight of some of these hats, were they heavy to wear?  Did your neck get tired?  Did they ever take them off, when they were out and about?  And in one of the pictures, there is the baggy hat.  I'm afraid my mother would have to threaten me pretty severely to get me to wear such a hat.  I have seen a photo of a young girl with this style of hat, I was guessing maybe someone had made it for her  -as a lark.  I can see I have much studying to do on the history of women's hats!
