Obama's inauguration is long over but the memory of Aretha Franklin's crystal studded hat still haunts us. The bow, the jewels, the size, whether you liked it or not, it certainly was a fashion statement.Well now a Michigan-based jeweler wants to commemorate that legendary fashion choice with a glass ornament version of it. Curtis Posuniak, the designer, says that he was enthralled by the hat and had to make a miniature version of it. He's commissioned a team of Polish glass makers to craft these pieces and hopes to have them on sale in time for Christmas.
So, if you're at the Dearborn Ritz-Carlton this holiday season, stop on by Bronner's in Frankenmuth or, if you won't be and must have an Aretha tree ornament, email klassicsbykurtis@comcast.net.
At $43 pop, it's probably the cost of just one of the jewels on Ms. Franklin's chapeau.
