{Feeling Pampered with Silk/Wool Cap from Blogger Friend}

Oh my, on Christmas Eve, I was for the last time out of the house and than a very bad flu floored me literally.
Did not even notice that 2015 ended... it went past me.
Only on my Dad's 95th Birthday I managed to be up in the late morning and call him in The Netherlands.
From than on I improved, but did not want to be out in the nippy, windy weather as the warm temperatures from Christmas had suddenly dropped, even getting some night frost.
What a surprise when on Thursday, January 7, the mail delivered a parcel from France.
A sweet hand knitted gift from Anett from the blog: Faden Stille whom I follow since 2010. We have become virtual friends!
Friday, January 8, I did join Pieter for Rotary lunch and afterwards I did wear my silk/wool cap for taking a walk. Wearing of course my coat as well!
Spunky girl looks fluffy during the cold weather.
Me, showing off my crows feet from a great smile...!
Driveway is still damp and the weather dreary looking...
But our Verbena continues blooming inside the fiber glass window boxes from Flower Framers of Cincinnati!
Enjoying my Chanel boots; bought from tip money for consulting work in California!
You can read more about that here: {My Favorite Boots}
My silk/cashmere Jodphurs from Bergdorf Goodman 1994 still fit me perfectly and I love wearing them in winter time.
Matching cables in my Escada silk/cashmere sweater from December 26, 1993 - actually my very first Outlet score bought at Potomac Mills in Prince William, VA. We were traveling by car to the funeral of our Jewish friend in Delaware when we stopped at this Mall for lunch.
Thanks a lot Anett for so much WARMTH!
It warms the heart and the ears on a nippy winter's day...

    Love the hat, and the boots. Hope you're feeling better now. Not nice to have the flu during the holidays. Congrats for your father. 95, Whah!

  3. Sei sempre estremamente elegante e raffinata cara Mariette, hai un fisico da urlo, complimenti! Il cappello è attualissimo, mio figlio ne ha uno simile in nero. Bellissimo il tuo micione. Buon anno cara amica, da questo angolo di mondo, ti abbraccio forte forte. Paola

  5. Dit soort mutsen draag ik ook het liefst, lekker over je oren. Deze is mooi gemaakt met de kabeltjes! Fluffy vond de fotosessie wat minder leuk geloof ik.

  6. Liebe Mariette,
    oh wie schön ist die Mütze. So toll von deiner Blogfreundin für dich sowas zu machen und schicken. Lieb!
    Hoffe sehr du fühlst dich inzwischen wieder ganz fit. Pass immer gut auf dich auf. ♥
    Die Katze schaut wenig begeisternd drein...lach...aber sie passt auf alle Fälle gut mit dir ins Bild.
    Alles liebe und einen schönen Sonntag..
    Julia

  8. Dearest Mariette,
    Such good news to see that you are feeling better.
    The cap is lovely in color, style and and the cables are so evenly made, not as easy as it sounds!
    Our cold weather has turned into rain, which we still need.
    Continue to get better...............*s*

  20. Du Ärmste! Hoffentlich geht es Dir jetzt wieder ganz gut!
    Schön schaut die Mütze aus - solche Muster mag ich auch sehr gern! Nennt man diese Mütze bei Euch auch "Beanie"? Ein schönes Geschenk!

    Deine Stiefel sehen auch sehr schön aus, obwohl ich an sich keine langen Stiefel mag, aber diese könnten mir gefallen! Die meisten langen Stiefel sehen mir zu grobschlächtig aus. ;-) Chanel - sehr schön - gibt es sie noch zu kaufen? Ich wäre dabei! Ausnahmsweise ... bei langen Stiefeln - denn sonst nur Stiefeletten bei mir.

    Mich faszinieren diese Beanies, die oben an der Rundung so aussehen, als seien sie gefüllt. Wenn der Träger sehr langes Haar hat, wäre das verständlich, weil man es darunter stopfen kann, aber bei kurzem Haar? Wie bekommt man diese "Füllung" hin? Das sieht total interessant aus! Besonders bei Menschen, die nicht so einen langen hübschen Hinterkopf haben.

    Viele liebe Grüße
    Sara

    1. Liebe Sara,
      Nein, gefüllt ist diese Mütze nicht! Nur meine kurze Haare sind drin und ich staunte selber von die Form, da ich ja nie so ein Bild vom Kopf hatte vorher!
      Die Stiefel gibt es auch nicht mehr, sind schon vom 27. August, 1995. Damals von das Tip-Geld gekauft in San Francisco bei Neiman Marcus. Ich bin noch immer froh mit so ein Geschenk!
      Ganz liebe Grüße,
      Mariette

  21. Ich meinte so etwas - sind diese Mützen "gefüllt" oder sorgt langes schweres Haar für diesen Effekt?

  22. My Dearest Mariette,

    So glad to see you feeling better. You look so adorable in your jodhpurs and Chanel boots (to die for!!), but I must say that Spunky Girl steals a little of your spotlight. She is precious. You have clearly made some wonderful virtual friends. I think everyone responds to your warmth and caring, which comes across so beautifully in your Blog posts, as it does in our private e-mails to each other.

    Big bisous, ma chère amie,

    M-T

  23. Danke für den Hinweis, liebe Mariette.
    Nun habe ich es geschafft, mir endlich die schöne Mütze anzusehen, die Anett Dir geschenkt hat. Sie steht Dir sehr gut und das Muster ist gekonnt! Anett aus der Fadenstille hat ein Händchen für anspruchsvolles Strickdesign.
    Ich schicke Dir liebe Grüße
    Traudi.♥
