....A Castle and some upcycled tweed.....

......It was such a glorious day today Mr Pixie and I poked our fingers up at the pile of washing and cleaning and decided to say ''pah'' to it all and go for a little trip to a castle.......it was just what we needed.......some fresh air, some beautiful gardens and the last resting place of the Duke of Wellington...........................................oh yes, and some tweed.....

.....Don't you just love castles.........i do.....

.....The gardens were really stunning and seemed to be never ending we were wandering through them for ages, i wanted to take some pictures inside the castle but i wasn't aloud too.

....OK.... that's enough of the castle,  now for my explanation regarding the upcycled tweed.

.....In one of my country living magazines there is a jacket that i just desperately wanted, it summed me up perfectly,  and it was a 'Cabbages and roses' jacket and this particular one cost the very over priced sum of £495..........they even said in the magazine that it was a' recycled jacket with added patches and buttons'.....well......i decided that the only way to have a jacket like this one was to hunt one down myself..............................so i did................

'Cabbages and roses...vintage tweed recycled jacket....£495'

......Pixies recycled vintage tweed jacket........£35

......Added patches and recycled buttons........and i just love it..............and people have stopped me and asked me where i got it from..............but I'm not saying.....................

......I wish i could say that this was my back garden, but i think the castle might give it away.....

.....Pixie.....
