Here I am in my little breakfast nook/office/morning room in my PJs with no make up and barely combed hair. It's not flannel but a long sleeved Jennifer Moore knit top (JC Penny's) which I wear along with fleece sweat pants for maximum warmth. I have a number of them which I switch around. I go for warmth, not cuteness when it comes to the serious business of cold weather sleeping. (I can't sleep when I'm cold.) The picture is kinda blurry but there's only me in the house to take it so here we are. Also( just for you, Claudia) over my shoulder you can see one of my beloved pieces of McCoy pottery, my grandmother's Aunt Jamima cookie jar. I grew up with that cookie jar and stole it from my parents house when I moved out into my own home. When my Mom first visited my new place she said, "I have a cookie jar just - wait a minute!" She threatened to do a body cavity search on me the next time I came to visit but the cookie jar was allowed to stay so she could make memories for my own children as long as I promised to keep her safe. She'll probably go to one of the granddaughters or nieces but that is another story.
Rounding out the ensemble is a pair of suede slippers which aren't pretty but are warm as all get out. I love these things. My feet don't hit the floor in the mornings, they hit these slippers 365 days of the year and if I'm not going out, they stay in them all day. On a really cold winter's day, I have a fleece long sleeve zippered fleece jacket that keeps me nice and toasty without turning the heat all the way up as I travel from room to room in my 1920's historical home. No central heating for almost 100 years. That's another story as well.So that's me, in my PJs/sweats joining the ladies around the world (there are a couple of international posts) at Claudia's PJ Party! Come join us!!!
