Things didn't quite go to plan during our week in the Lake District but before it all went pearshaped we did manage a foraging session around the caravan park using a charity shop find Spotters wild flower guide book from the 80's.
We visited the last of the Art On The Prom events where the wandering welder bought me this gorgeous autumnal coloured handmade shawl.
From a super vintage shop in Cartmel I found this flanelette housecoat. I'm going to wear it as a light summer coat over my frocks. It's far to nice to be hidden away in the house.
Another day we treated ourselves to a late lunch in Clare House in Grange Over Sands. I'm convinced I'm meant to live in a place like this. It is so calming and elegant.
This house has to be the most photographed house in Cartmel. The shot is taken from a little bridge in the centre of the village which gets very busy especially on horse race but days. Beautiful place but you wouldn't want to live there.
That's some of the good bits. More to follow
What a great idea to use the housecoat as a summer coat! And Clare House looks like a fabulous place. I wouldn't mind living there either ... xxx
ReplyDeleteThe housecoat as a outside coat is gorgeous, the price is so fabulous Fifties!
ReplyDeleteHow gorgeous is that Minton tiled hallway with stained glass and the glimpse of driveway? I'd happily live there, too.
Pear shaped sounds rather ominous, I do hope that you're both okay. xxx
