“Thank you, Mario, but our princess is in another castle.”
- Toad

Fans of Super Mario will recognize this hat as a tribute to our dear friend Toad. I was so excited about adding a mushroom to my down by the pond collection, but I just couldn’t figure out how in the world I was going to get a hat to look like a mushroom. And then I stumbled upon a picture of a beret. It’s perfect!
