Getting out of the house

...just to stare at other people's abode and fancy toys... one would think we are getting too old for that. Or rather, too old not have any of our own.

Truth is we didn't even afford the staring in the context of the two-day trip to London it involved, but we did it anyway. Last couple of months have been trying and the future is yet to become bright.  Not really capable to deal with our problems, what did we do? 

We took a vacation, that's right. Just your standard London excursion recipe: visit the Zoo, the V&A and the Natural Science Museum, eat lots of food and drink plenty of booze, walk till you get blisters and farther, and mostly, be together. Then do it again, soon.

1930's style jumper and a winter challenge (say no to black)

Here is a little something to shake off the drabness of the cold season: a 1930's inspired number that will do more than keep you nice & toastie in winter - uplift your spirit whilst having you clad in style. Real style. Remember, elegance does not have to be black! The wool and silk mohair yarn makes this knit light and frothy, and the paprika/denim colour combo is guaranteed to improve your mood. 

...It also cooks you breakfast!!

Seriously, advertising talk aside, this is a rather beautiful piece of clothing, hand knitted by mother, whose work I sport regularly on this blog. As some of you know already, she does not take commissions, so this is a one and only purchase opportunity, with the garment now available in my etsy store. 

Furthermore, I am offering a 10% discount on this item to followers of my blog from now until Christmas, simply convo me via etsy to this purpose should you be interested.
