Looking for a cotton bonnet

[Smiles Jr.]

Can someone recommend a place on line to look for a bonnet like they show on Little House on the Prairie. I'm looking for one with a long beak or bill in front. It's special gift for a very special friend.

Here's my go to site for bonnets. Lots of other goodies as well.
Lehman's Amish Catalog - Lehmans.com

www.etsy.com is another good place to buy handmade items.

My best guess is to keep the dust out of their hair and the sun off their faces and out of their eyes. They didn't have sunblock back then and I don't think they washed their hair every day.
