thanks for all the kind words bagdizzy, mree (thanks for the link you gave me), pepper, cynthia (I hope to see all NYC girls next time too), hermesgroupie, baggs (love your mini kelly), Hummingbird (I'm so grateful just so in love with the scarf the other scarf is Hommage a L'explorateur sir Ernest Schackleton), shoes (it was strange to be away so long, and it was nice to be 'free' for a little but oh what was I happy to see & feel my kids), ebruo (oh I definately would like to go to London again), Christina, Rockerchic (yes yes I used to be hkloosterman, thought it was a bit unhandy, I won't change it again) and Sus (you are absolutely right)
