autumn jacket SUNDAY, OCTOBER 18, 2009
This beautiful jacket was handmade by our friend and talented artist Victoria Velting. It was made from recycled felted wool sweaters. When Victoria came to take measurements, Amabel requested flowers and a pocket. The pocket is perfect for warming a hand or collecting beach treasures. Amabel and I couldn’t be more pleased with the jacket’s softness, warmth, and vibrant colors. When I was describing the jacket to a friend, Amabel said, “You mean the coat that Soule Mama made for me?” Soulemama is one of my favorite mama bloggers, and I’m sure Amabel has heard me describing her clever ideas and projects. It cracks me up to think how a blog has become a presence in our life - so much so that in Amabel’s mind it was perfectly natural for ‘Soule Mama’ to deliver a beautiful, custom-made jacket right to our home!
