It dazzles, it excites

In readiness for Autumn*/Winter I've just had one of my coats relined. I can't tell you how many times I've 'lost' keys and coins thru holey pockets and into the netherworld that lived behind the, old, tired and frayed lining. I could have just had the pockets repaired or even parted company with the coat (but that was never gonna happen), however, although the garment was preloved when I liberated it from a vintage shop in Prague 10 years ago, it'll still go round the clock at least one more time.

First Aid Kit - My Silver Lining (2014)


* A timely reminder that October's Photo Challenge is all things Autumnal - get yer snaps to me by the 25th of this month, if you'd be so kind.

  1. Jacket envy! Love it, what a superb lining. (Hope this comment publishes too, as I tried to leave one on your previous post last night and it wouldn't go through...)

    1. I was having the same problem and Alyson reported being unable to comment at my place so think there was a general problem on Blogger.

      I'm sure I've seen ice creams the colour of that lining in Broadstairs.

  2. C/E - Thank you, both. And regarding Blogger, we're all probably living on borrowed time. In all honesty, they could pull the plug on the platform at any point.

  3. Never mind the jacket, I want a shirt made from that lining!
    I've had no serious issues with Blogger thus far (touch wood), but have been unable to comment over at Alyson's and JC's respective gaffs for an eternity. I realise I've never been the most prodigious commenter round these parts, but I like to at least have the ability to chip in when the inspiration strikes.

    1. I've forwarded you the fabric on WhatsApp.

      Blogger feels like it belongs to another age; then again so do I. How long they'll keep it going is anyone's guess.
