Chelsea's New Hat

Chelsea came in this morning obviously very excited. She had discovered a traditional Island hat in Aatuti Art made by Miralda Warren of Pitcairn Island. Miralda has visited Norfolk many times and has a number of friends here. Chelsea's hat is made from a very old plaiting pattern and is decorated with roses made from the skeleton of leaves. It is beautiful and Chelsea has every reason to be excited. Her father has a hat in the same pattern made for him many years ago by Island Elder, Mrs Mary Joe Nobbs.
