ONLY IN WINTER CAN YOU TELL WHICH TREES ARE TRULY GREEN.
ONLY WHEN THE WINDS OF ADVERSITY BLOW CAN YOU TELL
WHETHER AN INDIVIDUAL OR A COUNTRY HAS STEADFASTNESS.

THESE ARE FAUX FUR WEARING DAYS. I LOVE THIS PICTURE AND I AM
SURE THIS LADY IS NOT WEARING FAUX FUR. I WAS ON SOME BLOGS,
THIS MORNING WHERE SOME WOMEN WERE WEARING THEIR FURS AND OTHERS WOULD
ONLY WEAR FAUX. ONE LADY WAS SAYING THAT EVEN WHEN SHE WEARS
HER FAUX FURS, SHE GETS AWFUL LOOKS FROM PEOPLE. ONE LADY CAME UP
TO HER WITH THE MEANEST LOOK WEARING LEATHER AND SAID, "HOW COULD
YOU?" SHE TOLD HER, "THIS IS FAUX FUR, SO IF YOU ARE THINKING ABOUT
THROWING PAINT ON ME, IT BETTER BE FAUX PAINT. AND HOW DARE YOU WEAR
LEATHER WHEN IT IS MADE FROM EMBYROES (I KNOW I SPELLED THAT WRONG).
IT IS THE LITTLE BABIES THAT MAKE THE SOFTEST LEATHER, SO THEY SAY."
I HAVE ONE MINK COAT THAT I BOUGHT AT A THRIFT SHOP FOR $5.75. I
WAS GOING TO COVER A VANITY STOOL WITH IT. IT IS STILL HANGING
IN THE CLOSET.
DO YOU OWN A FUR AND DO YOU WEAR IT.

Debbie, Congratulations on your decision to write this blog, I appreciate the reference to the Little Augury comments here. I am saddened by your loss, nothing could possibly give you the solace you deserve, but it seems you are surround by friends and faith. Be well, la
Dear Debbie, (Hope you don't get this twice) I received a beautiful award yesterday and I would love to share it with you. I forgot to inform you yesterday it is on 1/6/10 please accept as it is truly meaningful to me.

UGH, sounds like our weather! NO, I don't wear fur. My mother had a rabbit fur coat when I was a teenager and I told her in no uncertain terms that I did not approve, finally she got rid of it. You know how I am with animals, this post could go on forever..............................................................................................................
Beautiful post Debbie. I'm pondering..
I agree with you now in prayers for all the prayer requests, amen!

Good Morning Debbie, oh yes I own 9 faux fur jackets and coats and they do look real. I use to buy a new coat every winter and these are very warm for our winters....trouble is they never wear out. I have far too many coats, wool, down filled....I think it's time I passed a few on to those who need a coat. Our winters last so long here Debbie, we only have about 4 months out of the year that we don't have to wear such warm clothing. Have a wonderful day my friend....:-) Hugs
I actually have a jacket and a coat both with real mink collars...they are very vintage looking, they were my MIL'S and my husbands grandmother....I wear them and love them.
Hope you are having a great day.....and stay WARM!
Hugs,
Lynn
Thanks for stopping by and leaving kind words... It is snowing and it is white here today... No fur coats....Blessings
"Please move over, Gracie Ann, and give me some room by the heater, because I am freezing, too!!!"
UGH this weather. But...nature knows what it's doing...I'm holding onto that thought, anyway...
I accidentally bought some minks once. I mean MINKS, the little animals, only they were dried, I guess...I thought it was a bag of velvet scraps...my cats played and played with the poor things...
I like the faux fur best, because for one thing, I can get it in PINK, lol!!!
I haven't worn real FUR since I owned a Rabbit Coat while in College.
The hare (oops, I mean HAIR) went up my nose so I gave it away.
I'm not a fan of killing animals for pleasure...but then...I eat chicken...so...I'm wondering what to do~
Hmmmm....
Love to you~
Rebecca
No fur coats here. I think that this cold weather we're having is just awful, however, I know it's worse in many areas. It's just Texas like this. :-)
"When two or more are gathered in my name..." and yes, I agree with you in prayer. I have been asking God to please watch over anyone that has to be outside working, the homeless and all animals too.
xo
Debbie
I do not wear fur - real or faux. Hormones won't allow it!!!! Ha!

Blessings to you precious lady.
My prayers are added to yours for all those you listed today .
I have a mink coat that was given to me after my hubbys grandmother passed away .Her daughter gave it to her back in the 1940's.
It is still hanging in the back of our closet.
I only saw her wear it one time it was during a cold winter like this one and the snow just kept falling all winter.She lived in Amarillo,Tx.
I wore it a few years ago when we had a freak snowstorm on Easter .I had no heater in my vehicle and it was an hour drive to work.
Boy I thought people were going to kill me with torches or stone me to death.
Sometimes we are all to quick to jump to conclusions before we get the facts .
I think that is one of the reasons I was drawn to your blog .Your love for your fellow man .
As Christians it is important to love first.
I am really rambling today.
Big hugs with lots of love
Happy Trails
Debbie, pretty post!
I'm about to go on a blog break, and I wanted you to know.
XO,
Sheila :-)
I do have a fur coat, that was a gift many years ago. I don't think I've put it on in a dozen years easily. I wear a down coat -- I get really cold in faux fur -- and keep nice and cozy. Not expensive and very light to wear.
Hugs and good wishes and keep warm!
No fur coats for me - never have. My mom actually had a couple of real minks.
We had some snow here today in GA - 1/2 inch - and of course the schools are closed.
Love and hugs,
Sandie
Debbie, I love this site! So bright and cheerful!! It is freezing here in SC too and not at all seasonal temps. I hope it warms up soon for everyone. Have a most wonderful Day!! Kerrie
Yes, I have a real fur coat which I bought at a consignment store back in the 80's (before vintage was cool). I wore it at Christmas when we walked to a party one night while it was snowing.
Thank you for your lovely comment on my blog today. It has been a pleasure looking through your blog and getting to know you a bit better. I'll be back!
