I am at completely the opposite end of the country and about as far south as possible (next stop France)

@Laska2Meryls Aberdeenshire, so just about! We get lovely long evenings in the summer.

No1Mousie · 04/09/2023 21:28

Oh I’ve always wanted to visit there - it looks beautiful, and I think I’d prefer your winters!

Just posting my hat to let people see the colours. A keeper for me as I don’t knit.
I like it just rolled up a smidge all round.

My first Toast vinted buy is as lovely as expected but very big for a small. This is what is a lottery with second hand. I think I’m going to take it in at the armholes . I have one other to come and crossing fingers it’ll be grand as I have the same in a different colour.
Are we thinking sale a Thursday not a Tuesday?

Countmeout · 05/09/2023 09:59

Sorry forgot hat 🤦‍♀️ actually doesn’t do the colours justice.

Nice hat, and I really like the tank in this and will of course try it if it ever makes it into a sale even htough I know I do not suit tanks.

They tend to do sales on Thursdays don't they?

Snowyowl78 · 05/09/2023 10:47

@Countmeout ooh very nice, what’s the fit like?

Countmeout · 05/09/2023 10:51

@Snowyowl78 , 🤔 well not sure. Not sure what size my head is . It’s snuggish. If I roll it an inch it still fits well and suits me better. TBH I don’t think I suit hats generally but always need one in winter. I think they say the circumference is 57 cm. That’s obvs no help at all.

Hi all, I have just signed up for the online papier-mâché session as it’s free to Kindred. Anyone else joining?

I have no craft skills at all, and the last time I did papier-mâché was to create a montage of the planets, (to scale), when I was about 8. It took the best part of the school year for the class to finish their own individual masterpiece. Mine hung on the bedroom wall, (no idea how it didn’t fall off), for a long time. I had completely forgotten about it until now - wish I had a picture of it🥲

Countmeout · 05/09/2023 13:41

👋@Dee1224 . Enjoyed the watercolour one so I am giving this a whirl. I assumed this one was not make along. It’d be a bit messy.

Dee1224 · 05/09/2023 13:44

I think you are right@Countmeout but hopefully interesting.

Keep or sell?

This Toast Mac has been hanging in my wardrobe for two years, never been worn, still has tags. It’s now obviously quite large on me but I’m wondering if I should style it out as a massive coat, or get rid? What do you all think? (Clearly not styling it out today with my joggers and slippers!)

What did you decide to do about your mac? I love that coat, and I think it looks rather excellent oversized.
I am similarly hemming and hawing about the Turrell dress I bought in the summer sale. It’s not had an outing and I think the oversized collar might wear me a bit (I am not a fan of collars on me at all). Swithering over whether to put it on the fb page or not.

In other news, I left my leather cuff with a local cobbler this morning. Not your high street chain type cobbler, but a very skilled chap who has made wonderful shoe repairs for my OH in the past. He reckons he can stick it, the metal piece inside will still be broken, but I can live with that. So thanks for suggesting this folks.

ilovecherries · 05/09/2023 14:04

It’s currently hanging in the Contemplation Zone (aka back of bedroom door). I think I’ll wait till the cooler weather and see what it looks like with a jumper and boots, and then decide

Is it just me or has the quote function gone? I tried using ‘reply’ instead but it hasn’t linked to the post I was replying too.

ScottishMouse · 05/09/2023 14:07

Oh weird @ilovecherries, it has gone! I used it on your post, but that was a few pages back, and it doesn’t appear on your latest one.
My dress is also in the same contemplation zone 😂

Stravaig · 05/09/2023 14:09

It's in the three-dots menu, which has now moved to top right of each post.
For me at least, there seem to be several interface version around!

There's a discussion happening here about the shuffle.

Ah yes, there it is. Thanks @Stravaig

Sale stalking update - for things that I have saved as wishlist they are showing again at a reduced price and I can add to my basket 😊 anyone else?

Theteapotsbrokenspout · 05/09/2023 14:24

@Brillenbar47 My wish list has been like that for a while, but it doesn't let you progress through to purchase.

ScottishMouse · 05/09/2023 14:24

Ooh that’s exciting @Brillenbar47 . Sadly my wishlist is only showing the most recent things I added from the new collection.

Info on items that are reduced would be delightful!

Theteapotsbrokenspout · 05/09/2023 14:38

@ScottishMouse I'm not sure that will be any guarantee of what will actually be in this sale as it's all things from old sales that I had left in my wish list.

I think@Snowyowl78 said that 121 items had popped up in their wish list.

Ah, I see. I’ll just need to be patient so!
