Toasties can we go on chatting forever? Looks like it!

New thread. Woke (blooming cat) to find it’s nearly full.

@Netcam - glad they've been despatched. My refund was processed for the wax green gabis today, so they should be able to send you those too if you still want to try them

@faustina, thanks so much for letting you know. Wondering if you have the product code.

@OrangeyLemon if you don't mind my asking, are the kick flare jeans still fitted / tight on the waist and round the bottom?

I don't want jeans that are tight and I've seen a couple of pairs online.....I'm a 10-12, probably nearer a 12 in trousers and wondering if a 12 will be ok ie not too fitted!

@faustina, code not needed, ordered wax green gabis size 8. Hope I like the fit after all this, especially now I have 2 colours coming.

@Netcam - oh good - was just coming on here to give it to you. Fingers crossed - do come back and let us know!

Will do

I'm quite happy with the blue rolled edge tee, I sized up and it’s a good over sized fit. Nothing special, but I shall keep it as I think I will find it useful.

Hi @mizu, I don't have much of a waist but these are not tight. I have the Ashleys and the Annies in an 8, but got these in the 10 and they are very comfortable. I moved the button on the Annies because the waist was too tight. I think if I'd got them in a tighter fit (although there's no way I could have got in to the 8s I'm sure) the flare would have been more accentuated. Hope that helps a bit!

@OrangeyLemon thanks! The lady selling them on Vinted very kindly sent me measurements yesterday so I bought - and agree that they seem more wide leg than kick flare when I compared the measurements with other trousers I have. 🤞🏼

It looks like there are some new bits online. This is new, right?

I can see the culottes @TheDeepLemonHelper Maybe they just disappeared temporarily?
There look to be some new things, but not an awful lot (yet?). Some nice knitwear, which is my weakness at this time of year. I particularly like the Rowan coloured seamless wool sweater.

Hello from Edinburgh @TheDeepLemonHelper ! I really like the look of those culottes, though wool trousers and me and not pals.

Does anyone have the Kaia V Neck Cardigan and if so whats the fit like? It says neat shape, is it as neat as the "neat heathery cardigan" of the past?

@lordloveadog just catching up on thread after recent upheaval of kitchen renovation and I got quite excited when I saw that blue dress.. for one moment I thought the description said reversible until my brain corrected it!

Oh but can you imagine, 2 toast print dresses for the same price as one 😍

@Stoic123 @IlovePond I ordered a few baubles last year, partly encouraged by your lovely posts and enthusiasm but left it a bit too late to gather many.
I've already ordered quite a few of the Christmas decorations this week, I love the little block print bags and pretty keepsake boxes they came in.

Those little blocks are adorable @AvaGardens - if they’d come with a couple of paints and some cards, (or whatever you are supposed to use with them), I would have bought them. I enjoy crafting, but have no skills, so always need pointing in the right direction 😹

I am ridiculously excited about opening my cracker and furoshiki box this Xmas, (I intend to space them out to make them last!)

Hi I normally lurk on here but I’ve tried that cardigan in the green. I found it to be the same fit as the round necked neat cardigans of past years. So I’m a broad shouldered 12 and always bought them in large and I would have done the same in the Kaia. It’s lovely but the green was the wrong shade for me, a bit too yellow based.

I bought plain white poster paint and the rolls of brown paper you get in the post office and print reams of wrapping paper using (non toast, but similar) wrapping paper. Always get comments on how nice it turns out

Thanks @Brackenfield - great idea!

@Brackenfield I have a kaia - the verbena. Love it. I am a broad and large chested 16 and found the XL worked well. I haven’t tried the other cardie you mention so can’t compare I’m afraid.

@whinsome and @Ilovemyshoes perfect thank you, will try sizing up to a Large and hopefully that will suit. The boxy/alpaca ones look more the fit I'm going for but cant justify the price!

this should say, using similar wooden blocks..!

@AvaGardens @IlovePond - we must share Toast decoration pictures in December. I too can't wait! Happy days.

@Brackenfield - good idea. I will look for the blocks in the sale. No need this Christmas as I have some gorgeous Toast Lokta wrapping paper to use up
