Last Christmas I got a fantastic pair from an artist friend: light blue with deep blue stiching and even deeper blue ostrich feathers and with plastic figures of cowboys on horses chasing - respectively - an American Indian brave and squaw - on the mittens wrists. I have worn them as much as weather in Atlanta allowed - they were a perfect enhancement to my deep blue wool jacket - and every time I've worn them, people noticed. So much so that at least one traffic accident was threatening when a driver in the next lane noticed my cowboy-native American warfare adorned hands prominently displayed on the wheel. I guess not many fifty-something, seemingly properly preppy dressed ladies would sport such attention grabbing mittens! Ha! Now I know i should pack them and pass on to a new worthy owner. Expect them for Christmas, Heather - and if not them then at least a pair of lamswool socks that I am also packing for this purpose. ;-) I wondered what to do with my angora mittens!

Around Christmas time, the weather here is usually quite breezy and the temperature has been known to drop to a chilly 72'F, so I suppose I could sign up, but, I'll probably be a 'closet' member!
