My gosh, I never thought it would stop raining! I go to sleep, its raining. I wake up its raining. Touch wood we’ve got a day to dry off! The oval across from my house is like a lake and the children’s play equipment is like a swimming pool. Thank god for tumble dryers! Our house looks only mildly like a 19th century wash house.

Rozelle's selection of gumboots. You never know you might get lucky.

On the rainy side of things, I wanted to let you guys know that our stores do still have some rain gear left. Rain coats from Penny Scallan, sizes 2, 4, 6,a handful of kids umbrellas and some gumboots sizes about euro 25-29. I would recommend calling the store you wish to visit to check what sizes they have before arriving as we can transfer stock between stores if someone else has what you need. Newtown 9565-2866, Annandale 9660-7992, Rozelle 9555-5080.

Last week I reported on some new arrivals from Ouch for girls and here they are. Pants in sizes 3-7 years. Grey cords, pink cords and some seriously stylish slim fit cargo pants in dark khaki. Very grown up.

This weeks window features some of our more old fashioned toys, like Snakes and Ladders, Pin the tail on the Donkey, Pick up Sticks, Marbles, Spinning Tops, Flash cards, Jack in the Boxes, Shape Sorting and good old fashioned wooden blocks. All great activities for a rainy afternoon.

One last thing, I wanted to share, we have a new Baby Journal in stock. It is in the Allison Jay range, and features her divine illustrations! What a beautiful new baby or baby shower gift!
