No Such Luck.

Well, the jury is in on the folks - not my folks, the ones who own HCB's three million nieces and nephews. They have reluctantly voted against the experiences-for-Xmas thing. Apparently, they all love the idea, but find the scheduling problematic and ultimately, impractical.

Merf.

Of course, the news has sent me running straight back to my old flame. Have you SEEN the Crewcuts line? Seriously, who wouldn't want to dress their kid up like this?

Or this?! GAWD!



(BTW, HCB has mostly nieces.)

Hard to ignore the gift of fashion when your green intentions fail you. We tried to give gift certificates to kids consignment shops once, but that didn't work out either. (Tough to assess used stores from a distance of several thousand miles.) So I don't know what we're going to do. Anybody seen any cool eco style for little girls?

And as for you, adorable adult-sized metallic ballet flats,



kindly refrain from haunting my dreams.
