Toasties - still loving the knitwear and the chat!

[IlovePond]

I have set up a new Toastie thread, guys.

@Countmeout thank you, I missed that skirt( it does look very nice though) I think I better wait till I'm in Harrogate next month and have a look at the navy dress.

I keep checking the bib page, hoping for the first reviews 😆. No takers yet.

I always loved the shape of the Bryn dress, but I think this latest one is the first time it's been in a natural fabric? I'd be very tempted if I needed a plain navy dress.

@Stravaig yes I think so, I have a few similar in viscose but I struggle to find the occasion so I would love this in cotton indigo! I will have to have it taken up though no doubt. Would be good to hear about sizing if anyone orders!

There’s an email this morning with styling events at Brighton and Westbourne Grove.
Who's going to go and report back to us? 🤔
I have registered for the bead workshop. I did the pressed flowers one last week and really enjoyed it.

My order arrived this morning with a lovely kindred gift. I wasn’t expecting it so it came as a nice surprise!

Thanks for the heads-up re the Kindred gift @clearsky . I’ve just ordered the netball bib, so am now patiently waiting to be either dazzled or horrified 😂. I’ll report back as soon as it arrives…..

A Kindred gift you say…

Ooh, I was debating an order. A kindred gift might tip the balance, depending on what it is. Any clues @clearsky?

@Sunnydaysarehereonceagain I am debating the bib. I saw it in a store in London but did not have the time to try on. Please do let us know what you think. I am very curious.
Other than that, thankfully not inspired by much of the new drop. This is very good for my wallet after smashing it in autumn and the Christmas sale!

I just had two parcels arrive yesterday WITHOUT a kindred gift? Can I get a retroactive gift Toast?!

@clearsky - please don't leave us up in the air like that. Is it animal, mineral or vegetable? 😁

I wasn’t sure if people wanted to know or wait for the surprise so I didn’t mention it.

Maybe if an order was placed before the gift start date it won’t qualify. It could be for February orders only? I ordered on Wednesday via the online chat person who sent me an invoice. I have noticed that orders placed in this way always arrive very quickly.

🤣 mineral I guess!

I will stop dithering and place an order in that case! Can’t resist the draw of a Toast freebie!

I’m tempted to order one of the Moroccan glass sets as I have been eyeing them up for a while. But a) I don’t need them and b) they are fragile, (I saw several cracked ones at a Toast event recently, plus fragility confirmed by reviews).

I really shouldn’t order yet another unnecessary bowl just to get a Kindred gift🙈

Alternatively, I do like the Bolivian four glass set. Does anyone have these glasses? Again, I don’t need them - but they look nice, (and a bit sturdier than the Moroccan ones).

Oooh ok I have a delivery coming today - placed Tuesday evening and dispatched Weds, so let’s see if I have a Kindred gift… (I ordered the pleated organic skirt in navy and the needle cord shirt in French blue). There isn’t anything listed on the order receipt…will post back later!

Btw: If no one has any objections, I will set up another thread when this one is closer to the end.

Great @IlovePond .

I was looking at the green decanter but if is thin like the glasses you’re talking about that would be no use.
I have the Bolivian wine glasses. I bought 2 sets got our Christmas table. I really like them. They hold just the right amount of wine for me. Quite sturdy. Washed fine in the dishwasher.

Thanks @Countmeout - they are in my basket. I wish I knew what the gift was so that I could decide whether to make my unnecessary purchase, but I appreciate some people might not want to know.

I'd like to know what the gift is, I might be persuaded to order something totally unnecessary if the gift was worth it 😆.

Yes,, I'd like to know too. I hope it's not another enamel mug

I don’t think it’s everyone’s cup of tea but I like it. It’s something for the home, not something to wear.

Love home items ……..

Dear @clearsky could I please know what the gift is?
