Abstract: A potpourri assembly includes a decorative display hat. The hat is generally of the straw type, with a dome-like crown and a substantial brim. The assembly is preferably displayed with its brim vertical and its crown facing forward. The assembly may be secured in this position by means of a loop, of ribbon or similar material, that lies flush to the rear of the brim at the top of the hat. Potpourri sits within the crown of the hat, and is secured by a circular fabric covering. The fabric covering is attached to the outer edge of the crown opening. Preferably, the circular fabric covering includes two approximately semicircular, approximately equal pieces of fabric, one upper piece and one lower piece. The straight edge of the lower piece overlaps the straight edge of the upper piece to form an insertion opening for the potpourri. A circumferential piece of fabric lies atop the curved edge of the circular fabric covering in order to provide a finished look.
