Hello,
I was going to remove the "falling snow" from my blog but we've had another light snow fall in the night so I shall leave it there for a while!
On Saturday we had a ride up to Durham as I love a rummage round the vintage stalls, you never know what you might find lurking in corners, and I don't mean spiders!!
Hanging up was a rail of ladies tweedy jackets so, in near Baltic conditions I stripped off a few layers to try them on and "bingo" one was exactly what I was looking for to "vintage up" a bit.
What do you think, nice eh??
I've got the buttons, ribbons, watches and a few other bits ready to sew on when it gets back from the dry cleaners and the best bit of all was it only cost.....£20....so I think a bargain was had there!!
On Sunday I knit a couple of pair of "wristees, red ones for a friend and these lovely "spring time" ones for me, I can whip them up in a couple of hours and they're so warm, last night I started knitting the scarf to match.
Talking of last night did anyone see "Mrs Brown's Boys??
The funniest thing ever,
Monday night's just won't be the same!!

I love your wristies. Tweedy jackets are a real classic - you can't go wrong - what a bargain - hope you will show when you have it all dressed up. Betty x p.s. I'm doing a swap if you're in the mood.
Looking foward to seeing your Tweed jacket when you have 'vintaged' it! It's snowing lightly here now ...

Nice jacket.....Mrs. Browns boys absolutely hillllaaarrriooouuusss I laugh till I ache. No snow here in Sussex might have a flurry later today....lovely daffs, got loads coming up around my two apple trees in front garden.
Gorgeous wrist warmers - they'd take me a month of Sundays to produce just one!!
Mrs Brown was brilliant last night - I laughed so much - what will we do next week?
Lovely wrist warmers,you need them today. It's freezing in Cornwall but No snow at the moment...Fingers crossed for some sun.

Wow gorgeous find! I love a rummage at the vintage stall at the back of the indoor market in Durham. Can't wait to see your jacket all countrified up :0) xxx
I love the wristees too! Did you follow a pattern or did you make it up yourself?
