tags, peacoats, and a surprise. :)

I was tagged by Tizzalicious

Here are a couple interesting facts about me.

1. I like pea coats and toggle/duffle coats, if you didn't already know. :) Below are the coats that I currently own. :) The first one is a toggle coat aka duffle coat (thanks Monkee Maker and Yuzu for the clarification!). It's wool, navy, and long. The second one is my favorite. It's comfy, and it has a detachable furry hood.

2. I'm not a dog person(dogs basically ruined my childhood..j/k..kinda), but below is a picture of my favorite dog in the whole world. His name is Buck, but my husband and I call him Bucket, Buckle, Buckly, Buckathy, and several other variations of Buck.

3. My husband and I had the pleasure of meeting Puggly over the weekend. We found him without a collar running around our yard. He was wonderfully well-mannered and absolutely adorable. Remember, I am not a dog person, but I liked him a lot. We took him to the pound, and we get first dibs on him if his owners don't find him first. Fortunately, it seems like they have found him because he's not longer posted on the website. Thank goodness, because I am quite sure they've missed him terribly.

4. I'm not the greatest with remembering to post blog awards, though, I love them dearly and they truly make my day (if you ever gave me an award, thank you!). Here is one tag that I did remember. It's from Just ZHM. It's a great reminder that we must continue to pray for our country and our world. :)

5. I've never done a give-a-way, so I figured today would be a good day to start.

I have only produced 5 little prints of my February Girl. I'm going to send #3 to one person. Just leave a comment on this post, and I'll draw a # on Wednesday.

Here she is:

Aloha mushroommeadows!

Thank you for visiting!

What a great pea coat! It looks so fashionable and spiffy. We never get to wear such stylish things here in Hawaii for it would never go well with our flip-flops.

Oh, hooray! A give away! So generous of you! Whoever wins will be awfully lucky to own one of your prints.

Blythe dolls have 4 pairs of eyes (my mistake - I originally wrote 8 so I'm glad you brought this up). They have a pull string in the back of their head that changes their eyes into different colors.

Hugs,
Rima

Loving the coats ..... that first one we call a Duffle coat in the UK. ..... well, we used to but that could be a bit out-dated now.

Please enter me in your giveaway for your lovely print.

Yuzu said...

Aww, sorry that dogs ruined your childhood. :( I know people who are not dog people because of some experience with dogs as children. I love dogs! Dogs come up to me all the time and sniff & lick me, and it doesn't bother me. Maybe I smell like snausages, though. ;P

Cute coats! I ♥ all kinds of coats. That first one is actually a toggle coat, as pea coats are double-breasted with two columns of buttons (as in that second pic). I have two toggle coats, three pea coats, and countless single-breasted long coats. I guess I'm a little obsessed. Haha!

Oooh, pick me, pick me! I never, and I mean NEVER, win anything. But I've come to grips with being a loser... *B

I do love duffle coats as well, a child remembrance, I think.
Congratulations for your blog and your drawings (they are very nice) ! See you soon !
