Clad in Lincoln Green
Cousin Tina from England sent us this most awesome Sherwood-themed outfit:
If you can’t tell, the fleecy vest has little trees on it, and it says “Forest Path.” Perfect for my merry little man! It’s a little big on him right now, which is good: he’ll be able to wear it for a while!
A quick Google search reveals some confusion as to what color “Lincoln Green” originally was. It might have been a fairly garish blue-green created using blue woad and a yellow overdye. It may even originally have been red, “green” being a corruption of “grayne” or “graine”, referring to the scarlet grain insect used to dye the cloth. Interesting! I have to say I like the subdued green & brown a lot better.
And now we’re off to see a man about a turkey!

adorable! I love the tiny cargo pants with tiny pockets in which he can keep his tiny wallet and tiny cell phone.

baby cargo pants also help you inadvertently steal tiny items (such as lip balm) from stores (such as whole foods)–not that i’d ever do that (ahem).
he’s so adorable, shannon! hope you had a great turkey day.
