One is of rain bonnets. Rain bonnets are those clear, plastic, scarf-like hats you sometimes see older women wearing during rainy weather.

Imagine my surprise (horror) when I was scrolling through my Facebook feed today to find Eclectica at 800 Brandywine Blvd. in Bellefonte promoting Rock'a Bonnets in leopard, hearts and sparrow themes.

But take it from the venerable The Telegraph newspaper: Rain bonnets are in style. Yep, those clear plastic caps that your grandmother wore to protect her permed or styled hair are popular again.

Plain plastic or decorated with flowers or other motifs, the inexpensive see-through rain bonnets that you could pop in your handbag, offered a handy, if very basic, port in a storm.

After all if they were in the chemists they had to be good for you. Rain-bonnets were often teamed up with a unique brand of old lady coat. These too have all but disappeared and I miss them.

The plastic ties would sort of scratch, but the bonnet would fit securely only if Mom tied the bow tightly. The bonnets kept out most of the rain.
