55th Kippah

This past Sabbath, at a Bat Mitzvah, I snagged my 55th kippah.  (It is  customary, at life cycle events [Bar Mitzvah, Bat Mitzvah, weddings] for the family to provide them free, in bulk, for whomever of the guests would like to take one.)  I have a picture of it below: it's only a cheap satin "beanie," but it  is a beautiful shade of ice blue, a color I didn't have before.

And then, because my blue stack is so numerous and is by far the most often updated (I always pick up a free kippah and blue seems to be by far the most popular color for these), I thought I would provide you with a picture of all my blue ones:

Top, L-R: free from Bat Mitzvah; free from Bat Mitzvah (homemade by family of Bat Mitzvah, has internal clip); free from Bat Mitzvah; picked out by me and paid for by JS as a birthday gift for my 26th.  Next, L-R: free from Bat Mitzvah; embroidered silk by designer Yair Emanuel; free from Bat Mitzvah (newest one, photographed above).  Second from the bottom, L-R: free from Bar Mitzvah; free from Bar Mitzvah.  Bottom: hand embroidered hat by designer Yair Emanuel.  (And yes, hand embroidered hats are very expensive; though I love Emanuel's work, the two hand embroidered hats I have ["Jerusalem in Blue" from college graduation, shown here, and "Birds in Color" from high school graduation] are the only two I will ever own.)
