Three Most Favorite Things to Wear (in winter)

A flannel nightgown with handknitted shawl on frigid nights. We live in an old farmhouse and some nights our bedroom temp hovers around 45 degrees F. I like it to be around ten degrees warmer.

A mink coat I inherited from Grandmother when she passed away. I know it's not "politically correct" to wear mink BUT my Grandmother worked long and difficult hours to be able to afford that coat. I wear it proudly in her honor and in her memory.

Layers of warm clothing, wool socks & waterproof boots, a sheared rabbit hat made in Russia, a coat and walking stick so I'm comfortable when the dogs and I walk in winter weather. BTW, Abigail, our Jack Russell, has her little sweater she is made to wear during our cold weather walks. She absolutely hates it and gives dour looks reminding me of Purdy in 101 Dalmations. By the time we've returned to the house, however, she's cozy, warm and happy in her little sweater.
