Does anybody remember when African Violet was all the rage, I think in the 50s? I remember my mother had a costume ( aka a suit for you younger ones!) in that colour.
There are several chapters in various parts of the world, including England. When I married olddudders, I was a member of our local chapter and some of the ladies attended our wedding in Cockington, Devon, forming a guard of honour with their hats! Here's a photo of me with my lovely Red Hat sisters after the ceremony.
