Adorable!

Sometimes, while looking about for nice vintage items, you come across something absolutely adorable like this toddler's  Harris tweed coat from the 1950's, handwoven in the Outer Hebrides! 
I think I want to keep it - but common sense dictates it needs to go in the shop - shame......


Although it buttons both ways - don't you think it's more of a boys coat?- reminiscent of Prince Charles when he was little!

  4. Oooh, a lovely new blog to visit! That coat is indeed absolutely adorable. I remember having a little red one myself that was very similar.
