    Great to have a new Nappy Cake thread Giggle - it's like a breath of fresh air!
    Hi Bellag, nice to see you back!

    Becs, like you, I seem to be only selling 3 Tiers. Quite happy about that as I prefer making them but have got a few 2,s and 1,s made up that I am not shifting. Think I'll have to make them into 3,s.
    Good idea about "Pick and Mix" I think they would sell.

    Bargainbabe, Your right about soft toys being thin on the ground. I have still got some ellies but am looking for some nice teddies. Why don't toy shops sell small soft toys anymore?
    I got some lovely white painted baskets from HB. Linings pink/white spots & aqua/white spots. £5.99 for set of 3.

    I like the idea of pick and mix. I do offer this although most ppl I find just want me to make the decisions!!
    I have been selling a lot of 1 tiers in the past couple of weeks. I prefer to sell 3 tiers as they are more cost effective.

    Thank you Moonpenny for your suggestion, i will get my mom to have a look as I don't have one here :( I wish I could find a wholesaler for blankets and toys, life would be so much easier lol!!
