After a brief hiatus from social media a couple of months ago, I happened to look at my Instagram feed on the last day of The Beaufort Bonnet Company's Waterlogue photo contest. Although I missed the contest, I discovered a new App for my iPhone. In case you've never heard of it, Waterlogue is a very simple to use App that transforms your photos into watercolor-like images. (By the way, I am always looking for photo Apps, so please let me know some of your favorites.)

There is nothing more classic than a bonnet. Every single picture of my daughter in her Beaufort Bonnet looks timeless, especially as a watercolor portrait. Here are a few of my favorites:

I loved this last one so much that I ordered a standout from Mpix just to see how well it would print. Turns out, not too bad.

As my daughter gets older, it saddens me to think that one day she will no longer wear a bonnet, especially at Easter. This year, the Easter Bunny is giving her the Pippa Petal Hat with a pink seersucker bow. I look forward to seeing her in this precious sun hat as she races around on her new walker we decorated for her upcoming egg hunt.

Now, I just need to get a message to the Easter Bunny that an original watercolor portrait is on my wish list. Happy Easter!

(Psst)...There's still time for the Easter Bunny to find a Beaufort Bonnet at the following Kentucky stores:
