I popped in with my son's new nursmaid, and bought some sweets, I didn't know which one was Mrs C so I didn't say 'hello'
But I love the knitted frogs

Ooops, at first glance, I read, "chatted up"! Thought we were in for a soap opera-style romance! Then re-read!

Re: sock ties and other miscellaneous queries
Hi there
I have not read of all of this thread but after numerous sock tie methods we have settled with elastic.
Hope that helps.

Re: sock ties and other miscellaneous queries
Poppy - is elastic easier to tie than cotton?
Pinkhebe - which one did you choose out of the two listed?
Barnes A parents - any suggestions on where to get both house tops?
Anyone - approximate price on Cash labels?
Anyone - Any suggestions on where to get a good plain blue swimsuit for girls?
We didn't have time on entrants day to get to thrift shop. Were Cash labels sold there?
