Nebraska Straw Wanted Fancy

Nebraska straw was irritated to be woven into a hat I am as plain as a calf, lion, hoot owl, corncob and bat. you are a beginning, her grandma told her; do not give up. especially if you are adopted by the lovely miss buttercup. Buttercup was a fashion diva who lived on both of their farms. she enjoyed decorating her neck, ears, fingers and arms. I will make you so pretty, she told the hat, you will be phat. day lilies, coral cone flowers and perky daisies went onto the hat. I look so fancy now, I could walk the new york avenue. I would be welcome in Chicago’s magnificent mile too. Nebraska straw felt fancy and loved her new look. her photo was featured on the cover of women’s Redbook
