I saw it, wished I had bought it, thought about it, saw it again at the
Hampton Court Palace Flower Show yesterday and bought it!
I am building on my English 'country attire' which translates to ways
to stay dry and warm come cooler weather. This Weatherproof Rain Cape is a beauty...
it's long, has lots of buttons up the side for ease of comfort, it will fit
over the handlebars of my bike, can be worn over a back pack, it is lightweight
and best of all it has a hood with a lightweight wool tartan lining.
It comes in spruce green, warm red, navy blue
and black @ The Carrier Company .
Red Riding Hood for me...
I am thinking rain hat next.

PS to Pamela...
it is calling your name :)

Beautiful, Jeanne, and ever so elegant. If you need a warm one as well as a rainproof version, this is where I found one that I utterly loved for years - http://www.jimmyhourihan.com/capes.html

ReplyDeleteI would absolutely wear one of these capes. They are beautiful. But, I would have to add some wonderful large country dogs to my "look" too!

ps (please disregard prior technically challenged post!)
You know me so well.
ReplyDeleteHow fabulous! You will look great in that, I love the red. Capes are so romantic and vintage looking.
ReplyDeleteI love this. I have a wool cape that is very similar to this, unfortunately not red.
ReplyDeleteYou must post a photo of yourself in this cape.
I wonder if it is calling my daughter's name, too. She has finally received her visa and is moving to Bicester on Aug 13. So excited and sad.
ReplyDeleteFondly,
Glenda
GOOD for YOU! Don't you love second chances? I know I do and the cape is so lovely; you'll love it well for many years. Good for you!
ReplyDeleteGood for you, indeed!
ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful!
If you need to be dressed for the weather, it should be in something that makes you happy, feels lovely.
