Best hat at the 2010 annual Tea at the Barn
DeAnn Scrabeck of Lewiston, Idaho, won the Best Hat award at the recent Summer Garden Party Tea at the Barn. Says DeAnn, "As for the hat, it was made by Harriett Miller of Parkway Florists in Louisville Kentucky for an event at the 1999 National Funeral Directors Association Annual Convention in Boston. (I was in charge of meetings and conventions for NFDA for 15 years.) Harriett was a part of a team of FTD florists from around the country who did all the floral arrangements for the conventon. Harriett, being from Louisville, makes hats for the ladies who attend the Kentucky Derby. Obviously she is a gifted florist and a wonderful hat designer! This brings back wonderful memories of some very special folks". The hat was stunning and DeAnn wore it well. Congrats!
