Freezing rainβs got nothing on us! π§Ά

Down in the Meadow has finally made its debut in the wild! This petty pattern is by designer @marcelle.et.clo (written in french only). I canβt help but feel all flowery nβ fluttery in this one! π€πΈπ€

So warm in Merino,
Lambswool, and Mohair Silk (plus a linen frock), there was no need for a coat!
