The return of the good weather has meant that I have been able to dig into my storage crates to see what winter clothing I have squirrelled away over the past 6 months.
Waistcoats and tweed jackets from the 1940's and 50's have been steamed and hung out on the washing line to air.
1940's pinnies come in all shapes and sizes
Beautiful hand knitted rainbow coloured fingerless mittens from deepest Devon. Although we are experiencing a fabulous "Indian Summer" a girl has to think ahead.
Locally made hand knitted cardigans and jumpers.
Last years "best seller" scarves in all colours! The above will be coming with me to The Vintage Fair in
Bath this coming Sunday, and then onwards to
Ardingly Antiques Fair on Tuesday.

I like all your clothing - I used to have a thing for wearing 1940s men's waistcoats when I was a teenager in the 80s. I used to buy them at jumble sales for about 10p! The mittens look good too, I'm planning to knit some long elbow length ones this autumn for Christmas presents.
Hi Liz, tried to post a minute ago but seems like it didnt work so Im writing again. Ignore one of them if they both show uo please! Your autumn/winter clothing is lovely and rather rustic, I really do love tweeds and knits. I have only just read your previous post about the CK shoot. You must have felt so proud and excited!
Lovely selection on your washing line Liz! I have also been sorting out my A/W season collection - somewhat relunctantly as I can't bear that summer is almost over. Good luck at Bath and Ardingly and see you at Shepton 3-Day.
Oo-er Liz - forgot to wish you Happy 'Big' Birthday! Looks like you had a great time.Cx
Thank you for your comments, it is certainly chilly enough for mittens this morning! Have a great weekend everybody xxx

sorry I am not able to respond correctly to anyone this evening... blogger is leading me a merry dance! arghhhhhg
Yes, the old exprssion 'Winter drawers on' comes to mind! Very chilly here, I've had the fire on this evening.
just love those gloves and infact it is about time I swapped over to my Autumn clothes (I don't have space in the wardrobe for all the seasons so its a case of sapping and packing away). Helen www.happinesskindled.blogspot.com
