@Dee1224 what are the twigs for??

Dee1224 · 04/04/2023 20:49

@Snowyowl78 - I really don’t know- I couldn’t work it out. The ones on the right are a catapult!

Stoic123 · 04/04/2023 21:13

@Dee1224 - are they divining rods?

Enjoying sock pictures.

Mine today.

@Stoic123 😹 dh tried to look up the product code as the twigs are fascinating him! No success, though. I should have asked instore!

I’m hopeful my order will be delivered tomorrow/ Thursday…has my kindred gift in … have to say it will be passed onto hubby … I’d love one of the beautiful brushes they have as a gift .. or socks.. slowly building up my Toast socks, I have to absolutely love the socks as I knit my own too …

@Countmeout there was an orange version of that only recently, must have sold out - I think this has been on the site before and they’ve resurrected it

Stoic123 · 05/04/2023 07:45

@Countmeout - I bought the exact same dress last August. it cost £5 more than last year (rise of 2.8%) which doesn't seem as excessive as some hikes. Never went into the sale.

It is very flattering and easy to just throw on.

Snowyowl78 · 05/04/2023 07:53

is it very long @Stoic123 it looks very flattering

Stoic123 · 05/04/2023 07:57

@Snowyowl78 - It is fairly long. I'll check length later on today (away from home at moment) and let you know where it comes to on me.

Snowyowl78 · 05/04/2023 08:21

@Stoic123 oh thank you but don’t worry I can see they have listed the length- 120.9cm

Stoic123 · 05/04/2023 08:25

@Snowyowl78 - on last summer's version, I needed to size down (I bought a small and normally medium at Toast) but it looks like the new sizing might be applied so heaven knows what they are now like.

Countmeout · 05/04/2023 08:50

Thought it seemed familiar @Snowyowl78 . Just not the high summer dress I’m imagining.

I do like the twigs but think I’ll pick up one in the forest rather than pay £12 😂

I still haven’t ordered anything so no mug for me. I wonder how long they go on sending them for.

OftenOrange · 05/04/2023 09:08

I love the space check linen balloon trousers so ordered the Fenugreek XXS , based on sizing advice they should be ok.
Greedily hoped for a second mug, but dispatch e Mail just now and no luck !
May need to console myself with some socks …..

@MaroonedOnADesertIsland here are a couple of pictures of the Painted Falls gown. It’s a kind of dark gold yellow colour, rather than very bright. I think the pictures are quite true to shade. I think the pjs and nightie have faded a tiny bit after washing, but I am away at the moment, so can’t check.

Here’s a picture of the nightie I bought yesterday and the napkin I will use as a hair tie. I have one already in ochre, same pattern and really like it.

I bought the pyjamas in that colour and age with the colour depicted in your pic @Dee1224 , also i think the fabric looks quite cool and unique in that colour, i love it!!

I'm not interested in that linen dress but i like the sock and clog combo they've paid it with - i often don't like how they put their own clothes together!

dudsville · 05/04/2023 10:51

Sorry i meant the painted falls pic

Dee1224 · 05/04/2023 10:52

The SM store had a sample rail, plus a few rails of stock from earlier seasons, (archive), at sale prices. Here’s a few pictures in case anyone wants to call them up and enquire. They do sales over the phone.

@Snowyowl78 I just measured mine, it’s the same size just a different colour way, also has the contrast rim. It hasn’t got any Toast branding on it.

Noeggsontoast · 05/04/2023 12:59

My socks and kindred mug arrived today. The mug is the same colour way as was previously posted. Even DH likes the mug! Maybe I'll have to get another so we have a matching pair!

OftenOrange · 05/04/2023 13:20

Just having my mint tea in the mug, forgot how metal conducts heat and nearly dropped it …

Snowyowl78 · 05/04/2023 13:28

@Theteapotsbrokenspout thanks!

MiracleToast · 05/04/2023 14:06

My kindred gift is stuck in Swansea again it seems despite Royal Mail saying it would be here today—got my hopes up. I think I like the mug with the pale turquoise rim best, lovely colour way. Happy sipping everyone.
