This is how John’s socks look nearly every day:
Sometimes the socks are blue and brown, sometimes white and black, but rarely do they match. Evidently this is the trend in middle school right now. I’m not complaining, because it means I don’t have to match socks. That’s right, I don’t match socks. There’s a pile for each person, but no pairs are matched. This is what my dogs wear:
These are brown leather hand-rolled collars with personalized engraved brass plates from Quillin Leather and Tack in Paris. Paris, Kentucky, that is. This is the same oiled leather that is used for horse bridles and halters for famous thoroughbreds, but my dogs just wear theirs to lounge around the house, or perhaps for a casual stroll around the neighborhood. And guess what? They match! My dad suggested Quillen, and I’m glad he did. They do beautiful work, and I highly recommend them if you want beautiful collars for your pooches.
If I’m not mistaken (and you KNOW I rarely am), when we were in high school and college, having a belt from Quillen Tack was all the rage.
Do you remember those? We’d have our names on the little brass plate things.
Yep, I still have my key fob from high school made the same way 🙂
I love the nameplates — anything that will stay on the collar is a good thing. Those dangly name tags just don’t stay on. I know — been there many times.
Ha! I wish I could talk my husband into that no matching sock thing!
Found you on monday mingle, LOVE that dog- my dog has the same belly pose when she wants a belly rub!
My gosh, I don’t wear anything as nice as that dog does 😉
Found you on Monday Mingle, thanks to Maria, who rocks.
Nice shoes. A new follower from Monday Mingle.. See you.
Those collars are really nice! Our dogs always had the generic ones from the local pet store. I wish my kids wore mismatched socks. I have an entire basket of mismatched socks. It seems the washing machine/dryer seems to have eaten their mates or a sock elf has been at work!
I didn’t argue much when my youngest told me he wanted to wear his socks that way, I must admit. Now if I can just talk my husband into it . . .
Those are beautiful. I am looking for something to make the kitten look stylish.

What is up with the mismatched sock trend?! My older girls have actually purchased colorful knee-his that are deliberately sold in mismatched pairs.
A-HA! Perhaps it’s a plot by the sock manufacturers so they can sell THEIR mismatched socks to OUR children. I hadn’t realized you could buy them pre-mis-matched, John’s been mixing his on his own!
