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.
