What treasures are hiding in your coat pockets?

I have a lovely black velvet coat that I wear, mostly in the winter months, for special, dress-up occasions.

Last night was my first winter dressy occasion of the year so I happily pulled my beautiful coat out of the closet. I love that thing and since it only sees the light of day (or glow of the night which is usually the case) a few times a year, I feel like it's new each time I wear it.

Last night on the way home from our party, I noticed there was something bulky in my coat pocket. And went I started digging for the source, I found this cute little hippie duck. Since I haven't worn this coat in a year, I really can't remember when or where said duck climbed on board (I suspect alcohol might have been involved), but I had to laugh when I discovered it nestled in my favorite coat. Maybe he decided the coat was totally awesome and worth living in all year long.

May this holiday season bring you peace, joy and fun surprises in all of your coat pockets.
