The coat

 I love old stuff, especially vintage clothing and I have a soft spot for coats.  It seems when I wear them the warmth comes from a place of memory.  Who wore this coat before me, what did they do when they were wearing it?  Were they out on a sleigh ride to midnight Christmas service? Were they walking with their loved ones, or maybe they were creating a snowman for all to enjoy?    
              
  
About 12 hours after I ordered a "snowman kit" from LTD for my grandkids, I received this card in the mail.  I hope it is true, that I will be like this lady, or that she is like me...
rolling up the sleeves of my vintage coat to build a snowman for my babies and I.
I pray that my memories will be like this coat...
beautiful and worn.
