[h-cost] Re: Ballet slippers
Elizabeth, I got a lovely pair of white satin ballet slippers in a size 10 once at Bloch's -I think they sell online too. If not, Salvio's in Randwick, Sydney, goes up to 10 1/2; their ballet flats are especially nice http://www.salvios.com.au/shoedetail.asp?id=85. Best of luck! Hilary Can you make do with a pair of regular ballet slippers? I bought a pair at my local dance shop to get started with before I found the Auditions catalogue, which has a slightly more substantial style with a very small heel.

Sigh! Everything seemed to be on sale although we were dragged by mental chains to the fabric section. All $3.95 a yard, and 25% off of that... Purr. The $3.95 fabric there isn't really as unusual as it sounds. They also had some flat fold 3 and 4 years stuff for $1.95. Even better they have a HUGE selection of buttons (think of a post office package trailer about 3/4ths full). Good thing we had the munchies or we would have had to take a look at what the New Year would have had for us at the other store in Portland. Beautiful Cobalt blue, teal, dried blood red, pink, gold, etc. And we bought it all! Now we need the Sewing House Elf! Next stop JoAnns where I can pick up some 60 fabric cores to wind it all on and set it upright in the attic (no light streaking) in the big plastic tubs. I write what is actually on the core and the amount. Ah! Life is Good!

RE: [h-cost] I love the Pendleton Outlet :-)
Since I don't do anything that requires plaids, I don't buy them. I do buy the pure Cobalt Blues, the deep reds, and a full bolt of clear forest green. Pendleton weaves things other than plaids, so don't count them out when you are fabric shopping Wanda The Pendleton outlet in Redding, CA also has yard goods, and some pretty nice stuff.
