According to The Weather Channel, yesterday was in the teens here in Maine - you know what that feels like? Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrr - that's what it feels like! I think it's safe to say that in the winter, I wear a scarf like it's a second layer of skin - which means all the time, even in the house. Not that the house is that cold, but my neck always feels bare in the winter without a scarf. It's winter in Maine so being cold is just part of an annual routine and we all do our best to minimize the impact of the freezing weather. One such way is to bundle UP - from head to toe! All of my picks today center around the theme of "Keep Me Warm", but the warmest part of all four items is that they were handmade. The love and care that goes into creating a handmade item can certainly be felt and adds to that feeling of keeping you warm and toasty from the inside out!
If you live in a cold climate, tell me what your indispensable winter accessory is!
Just looking at these beautiful items makes the T a little warmer :) Loved your comment about what makes them "warmest" - very true! Of course, having ultra-toasty merino wool and cashmere, as in the case of my mustard yellow wrap picutred here, definitely helps too ;-))
ReplyDeleteI bet your wrap feels absolutely amazing, Elena!! Merino wool AND cashmere - wow!
ReplyDeleteThose mittens are adorable!
ReplyDeleteI would have a much harder time here in Alaska if I had to live without my down coat, but mittens and warm hats are also essential!
Down coats are the best! I used to always wear one of those bulkier ones, but then last year I got the ultra light sweater down jacket and it's so warm! Next on the list will be one that covers my rear end! :D
