I was quoted £700 (pounds) at Hockley (or whatever they're called now). It went up from £300 before I bought the unlined coat from them (last year) in stages of £100 each time I asked.
I'll check with another furrier too

It's very in ATM. I like green and silver fox is the best. I prefer silver fox left natural but at least the nature of the markings is still seen through the tint.
My silver fox hat was dyed jet black as you know and a broadtail with silver fox arms is also all-black. It doesn't worry me, it's a 'look'. So long as things are worn.
She sounds nutty! Like who does that, right? I’m embarrassed to admit I have people in my life like that. My hubby is a very generous gift giver and when he bought my 5 carat diamond hoops some of my friends tossed major shade.LOL that's good to know
My aunt has major jealousy issues. She's always liked bulldogs right, who doesn't? they're adorable. So when I got a bulldog puppy and told her she was so jelly she didn't talk to me for over 2 months!! Now that's someone with serious issues
I tried ban island, it lasted 3 dayslol
Sometimes I don’t have a choice about ban island because I have no income
mine usually doesn’t last either because my DH gives in. But I have a bad problem saying if you get me this huge gift (like a paid off new car) it can be birthday and Christmas, but usually by birthday and Christmas I’ve forgotten my promise and want something else!LOL...After getting 2 f/l mink coats when I was only planning to get 1, I'm now on ban island! Our weather has warmed up & if we don't get another cold front to move in, I probably won't get another chance to wear fur this season. I am still paying on the ombré strand of Tahitian & South Sea pearls. Plus, my husband got the car he's been wanting 2 weeks ago. So, I have a lot of incentive to stay on the island at least til summer when furs will be better priced. I still want a silver or crystal fox stroller.
You got two beauties! I'm sure you can squeeze in a few more wearing times. Just dress very light underneath. Good for hubby getting a car, hubby's are always left out of the shopping game, they need something to buy..although when you think of it, shopping is a woman's world, men things are boring lol
Summer time you should find some goodies. I'm starting to see some furs leak out already. I finally found the coat i've been looking for all year, Coach's toy soldier shearling, it's a mens coat but it's so cute, like a lil teddy bear.

Yep a bit nutty, she's been on Prozac for years. She's a smart woman, has her masters degree and teaches 9th grade...but something isn't all right upstairs. Severe jealousy to the point where it looks like she's in pain lol. She lives in San Fransisco so she never had the pain of seeing my furs, good thing because that would put her over the edge
To be jealous of friends and family It must be some kind of disease, like you, they should be happy for us not green with envy. I feel bad for them, it's a sucky way to go through life. Your earrings sound spectacular!
Hehe you sound like me, I have no income either, and whenever I want something I too say " you don't have to buy me anything for my b-day or for a whole year " LOL
I also do the promise game, buy me this and we can go to that concert you want to or the football game...then when the time comes I always back out...dang that's messed up I know lol...but I hate crowds!
We need to see pics of the toy soldier shearling!!! Our temps right now are 60's, close to 70 & only getting into the 50's at night. If it will get down to the 40's in the evenings, I can wear fur out to dinner & such. It was in the high 40's Tuesday night so I did get to wear one of the new minks. Today, it's 69 & a little muggy & I've had on velour track pants & a tank top. Our weather is weird. Must have something to do with the Polar Vortex splitting into 2 parts which means Europe & the northern West coast of US will have colder temps but Eastern US will have warmer temps. Right now, our temps are Spring like in GA.
It is so cute! I hope to wear it sometime next week so pics will be coming soon
We are a little similar, it was 66 today but our nighttime temps still dip down in the 20's. Were supposed to get 5" of snow Saturday, this weather is crazy.
I heard something about the polar split, ahh so that's what it does. Well hopefully it's not something that last and spring will be lousy and cold, my favorite
I just can’t understand it, I like seeing people get ahead with anything. For friends and family to feel that way is the worst. I’ve stopped caring, I just wear and love my items regardless of public perception.You got two beauties! I'm sure you can squeeze in a few more wearing times. Just dress very light underneath.

You sound like me, I also play the promise game, but I usually go... games, domino tournaments etc.

)Yep so true, and if they can't handle it well then it's tough titties on them!
I used to keep my promises, and I did last fall when I got the Gucci's in exchange for a hockey game, and sure enough that game got me sick, fever, I lost my voice, sore throat ugh it was horrible, but I guess worth it lol
Well, I'm jelly AND very very very happy for the both of you!!! (DOMINO tournament?!!!?
But your the good jelly
I thought that too about the domino tournament, now that's something you don't see everyday, but it sounds relaxing. Hey I'll trade that over an aggressive hockey game any day or a Metallica concert where the drunks are falling over you lol
Honestly, I pretend that I don’t like going because it gives me leverage to get him to go places, but I secretly enjoy it. My DH is a lot of fun and I enjoy things with him like football games that I usually wouldn’t.Yep so true, and if they can't handle it well then it's tough titties on them!

IMO certain things may be cultural, you guys aren’t familiar with domino tournaments but like spades it’s common amongst the black community. Kind of like how on friends or how I met your mother white couples will play charades or Pictionary or something. Does that make sense?
Oh for me I really dislike going lol. I'm a more of a homebody, I like staying in
Ahh yes that makes sense, for hubby it would be a poker tournament. So with domino's their actually playing them? not like when I was a kid Id line them up and knock em' down
The last football game we went to I thought we were going to get beat up. It was at the Eagles stadium and hubby was for the opposing team wearing a Giants jersey. That did not go over well, we were harassed badly
Lol! Yes, we actually play them, DH taught me and now I LOVE playing!!! My DH plays poker, but usually only at the casino unless he’s shooting dice. I only play roulette!!!Oh for me I really dislike going lol. I'm a more of a homebody, I like staying in

Oh no!!! That sounds scary. I’ve seen guys be very mean to men wearing the “wrong” jersey on their side. I had a similar yet completely different experience when l wore a Texans jersey to a Texans vs. Dallas game (while we were sitting on the Dallas side) and I was teased relentlessly! It was kind of hilarious, you know good natured teasing. My DH wore a Bears jersey and no one bothered him. He said I told you to wear the Walter Peyton jersey!
The older I get the more of a home body I become, but my DH likes to move so we’re always out of town or on vacay. We’re planning our family vacay next, I’m excited!
I've always wondered how they were played. I knew those dots were for something lol. I will check out youtube.
Hubby is obsessed with craps! but at least the casino's are fun, I enjoy those, and they got good eats
Good natured teasing is doable, but this was aggressive. I laughed at first but then it was like oh...they mean bodily harm lol.
Hubby too, always want's to go somewhere or do something...I feel tired ugh. I think i'm in my golden years
A family vacay sounds nice! I won't fly, gee I'm a barrel of fun aren't I?
Wow! But you're right, that's a good trade!Yep so true, and if they can't handle it well then it's tough titties on them!

OH! Thx for the edumacation!
Are there tons of ppl, like the tournaments you see on cable channels (Scrabble? Chess? Mah jong?!) Does everyone watch/participate, or is it like the participants participate and everyone else has a big party? Sounds like fun!

[/QUOTE] Yiiikes, sounds scary! Especially with all the crazy stuff that just happened in Philly! (Was it Philly?)
Yes! The dots are for counting, you count the ones on the end, but you only call points if it equals increments of 5... 5, 10, 15 etc. it really is fun. I learned by keeping score for the guys now I can beat some of them!I've always wondered how they were played. I knew those dots were for something lol. I will check out youtube.

Trust me,I know what you mean, I’ve seen guys heckle each other until actual fist fights broke out! I guess because I’m a girl they didn’t do it to me.
Based on all your fabulous outfits, I thought you went somewhere amazing everyday!!!
