No worries. It's easy enough to merge threads.

Love the suit.

I kind of wish I had the chutzpah to pull that look off.

Tiffany sells infant gifts. I'm not sure about jewelry, but given that jewelry is their main business, I would be surprised if they didn't.

Aw, he looks just like his real father.

Are you looking for the exact same one? What's the make? Or is there a hallmark at least? You'd be surprised what a good jeweler can do as far as repairs go. If you aren't looking for the exact one, try James Avery - what little girl doesn't like that stuff?

I don't know James Avery! I'll go look. I think this one was actually from Fina, but they don't have one showing online. I should ask my parents, but they'll be upset over the breaking of the bracelet, so I am trying to hold off.

Really? Isn't there an assumption of risk kind of thing going on when you give jewelry to little girls? I lost or broke almost every piece I had when I was a kid.

:eek: Are you kidding? I used to make excruciatingly detailed wish lists from their catalog as a kid.

It's excellent quality.

I've got a friend who does custom beadwork also, if you want that sort of thing. http://www.freewebs.com/braceletsforlainey/

I think it's a southern thing, quite possibly even a Texas thing. The Girl Scouts when I was a kid used to give James Avery charms if you sold a certain amount. I still have my James Avery charm bracelet from when I was a kid around somewhere.

Absolutely. I don't mean they'll be mad or frustrated, but rather - disappointed. Hey, I was the kid who pretended to like not-so-thrilling Xmas presents because I didn't want them to feel bad.

Funny - when I went to the site it looked to be exactly that. Grumble, grumble - I'm Southern and never had the pleasure. Not Texan, though....

Chapter books and such
 

So, oldest daughter turns 6 (gasp) this weekend, and it's time to buy presents. One of which will likely be a new chapter book for pre-bed reading. Any suggestions? We've been through E.B. White, lots of Dahl, an Oz book or two, one Beverly Cleary, Bedknobs and Broomsticks, Dr. Doolittle, probably others that I'm not thinking of. Any childhood favorits coming to mind?

Also, any other inspired ideas for birthday gifts for a 6 year old girl would be appreciated.

Thanks all. Ollie

Does she already have Little House in the Big Woods (the first book in the series)? I think I was about 6 when I got that. Then you can move on to other books in the series. Loved loved loved it, as did all my female childhood friends. Lucky for your daughter, she won't have to picture Melissa Gilbert when she reads it. You will, of course, and you will probably also think about Sebby's magnificent mane of Landonesque hair whenever you read about Pa.

Another favorite gift when I was about 6 was a fancy jump rope with the swiveling handles, and a book about jumping rope with all the neat jumping tricks you can do.

My aunt got me the best books, and now she is doing the same for my daughter.

I think I started Narnia then. Or my mom did, with us.
