I just found out about a group called the Red Hat Society, women over 50, who go out to lunch together wearing red hats and purple dresses (based on an English poem about growing older). Now, wouldn't we look great that way with our red hats, purple dresses and red and purple lampwork beads? Boggles the mind! Also, this group does NOT do good works. LOL Patti

You mean you have to "work up" to wearing a red hat? How does that work? Patti
I saw some of these ladies last spring down in Bisbee! (talk about crossed threads LOL) I'll tell ya, some of them did NOT look even close to 50. But they sure looked stunning in their dresses and hats! Something to aspire to.

Well, the poem ends with something to the effect that she should start now, so that people aren't too startled by the change when she gets old. For that reason, I think there should not be an age limit placed on membership! :-)
AThose are wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do you mind if I try some sometime?
