Forever Autumn

After seeing these beautiful colours start to come through yesterday I had to share them. I always find autumn a strange time of year; it's cold and rainy and the end of summer, but it brings such richness of colour that always inspires me, and evokes the thought of cosy evenings in.

Now the weather has turned we've taken all the very summery things out of the shop and started focusing on nice warm accessories. Chrissie's sister Pat is a wonderful knitter and she makes beautiful berets and gloves for the shop (among other lovely things). We moved things around and there's a lovely warm, autumnal feel to the shop this week.

At the beginning of the week I made a neck wrap from some lavender-tinted grey boiled wool, with a super soft purple lining. It looks so cosy, and several people have tried it on already! 

It fastens with a popper and I embellished with some cute little buttons and French knots to the side. I'm happy with how it turned out, it was nice to have a bit of a break from hats and try something new.
