I want ... #5/Lisette

It’s been a long time, blog.

My ‘what I want #’ listings and Lisette postings combine. 100% English Shepley wool sweater, with the spinning manufacturer producing this yarn celebrating more than 200 years in business…

Same old, same old ...

Little has changed since 2008 when I started this erratic space. I am still on a quest to refine rather than add to my wardrobe. I am still keen to make any additions to the said wardrobe organic and ethically produced and I still err from this quest every so often, seduced, as in the past, by offerings from Stella McCartney for Adidas (which works on a sustainable requirement percentage) and Lisette (see below, whose pieces, to me at least, are timeless and increasingly use organic fabrics).

♥♥♥ Japan ♥♥♥

Like everyone I know I have been overwhelmed by the recent natural disaster(s) in Japan. My Japanese friends and their families are all, thankfully, alive and well. Sadly, that is not the case for so many others.

Japan and its people have played a very special and inspirational part in my life. I have donated money and bought Japanese goods (I am a sucker for their sewing books) to support the relief effort and the Japanese economy. I have been moved to tears by others doing the same, for example students at the University of Sussex (where my own strong connections with the country were first formed).
