Last spring Stella picked this hardhat up in the thrift store and I gave in thinking we’ll use it for Halloween. She knows my weaknesses. I really wish we would have found an old school lunchbox and thermos that day. Those would have completed the look of a hard-working miner on lunch break. We got a second use out of the cop shirt. And at the last minute I realized she needed a pick.  I spray painted a wrapping paper tube and attached some cabinet liner. It’s close enough.

I was torn between the color and the b&w.
