The new one

First came the red one. A beautiful coat purchased for POD when she was a year old. She was out of it so fast we bought a bigger size of the beige one.

You couldn’t see her hands initially but she grew into it quickly. Here she is skimming stones with Daddy.

The beige one survived many a muddy puddle.

And it was loved by everyone right to the very end.

The new one is from the same retailer as the red and beige ones. It’s wonderful. Soft to the touch and comfortable. POD is disguising her joy in this photograph.

But she adores the purple one.

It’s only a matter of time before she’s jumping in those muddy puddles!

    I can see why you bought the coat again but in a different colour. It’s beautiful – such a lovely style.
    The photos are just perfect too.

      Thank you Trish. They do such lovely coats – we didn’t buy this one though. It was a present from one of the grandparents 🙂

    That’s lovely. Who knew something as simple as new coats could make such a beautiful post?

    • Charly Dove January 15, 2014 at 6:35 pm

      You’re too kind Sarah. I was toying with a few things but the coat kept coming back. I’ve lost count how many people have commented about the beige one so I thought I’d introduce the purple one 🙂

  • WallyMummy January 15, 2014 at 12:56 pm

    What gorgeous coats. Love the purple, it really suits her.

    • Charly Dove January 15, 2014 at 6:38 pm

      Thank you – we’re loving the purple one 🙂

  • Notmyyearoff January 15, 2014 at 4:26 pm

    I ways love admiring her coats and the purple one is so adorable. They make such ultra boring ones for little boys.

    • Charly Dove January 15, 2014 at 6:46 pm

      Thank you that’s very kind of you. Such a shame with the boys ones, I’ll keep an eye out 🙂

    What a lovely post, about a coat 🙂 Love it x They grow so fast don’t they, each new coat/size marks another step forward. I do wish some things would last them longer though (literally and metaphorically!) xx

    • Charly Dove January 15, 2014 at 6:49 pm

      Thank you Sara, a funny choice I know but her coats get so much attention. The beige one has lasted ages it seems so I hope the purple one does the same 🙂

  • Mary @over40andamumtoone January 15, 2014 at 5:58 pm

    Lovely, I do wish I could take photos like you do – lovely Charly #theGallery

    • Charly Dove January 15, 2014 at 6:53 pm

      Don’t be silly Mary your photos are great. Thank you though 😉

  • Jess @ Catch A Single Thought January 15, 2014 at 6:20 pm

    Oh I thought the beige one was nice but the purple one is beautiful. It suits POD so well too. Such a cutie!! Hope it lasts just as long and manages to stay clean despite the muddy puddles 🙂

    • Charly Dove January 15, 2014 at 6:58 pm

      Thank you Jess – it does really suit her, I love it. Daddy found some welly socks with a stripe the same colour too. Fabulous 🙂

  • HelpfulMum January 15, 2014 at 9:51 pm

    The purple one is fabulous. I love purple. It’s a really gorgeous style too.

    • Charly Dove January 16, 2014 at 8:57 pm

      Thank you so much – the purple really does suit her too 🙂

    • Charly Dove January 16, 2014 at 2:19 pm
