What feels like a million years ago I saw "her" make a rag rug out of old towels on HGTV. I had the link but now it's gone. This link looks pretty good and it seems to be more detailed than the tv show link.

Wow, that's really cool, thank you!

i can't remember what other entry we were talking about that maclaren in so i figured i'd comment to you in the most recent one ;)

i found out last night that uhaul lamp boxes should be the perfect fit for macs and they only cost $4.95. oh but nevermind, i just checked and it looks like she sold it because the listing is gone.

what????? I'm sorry, I kept forgetting to follow up with you about it.

Is that the exact stroller you wanted? If I see another one maybe in Ithaca would you want it? Tell me all your criteria.

yeah i dunno, i emailed her to make sure it was gone and i haven't heard back yet. my criteria would be that it could be a ryder in charcoal (though the hard to find chestnut is better) but i'm also open to a vogue 2004 or 2005 (they stopped making them for the US after that and if it was older it would have more wear than i'd appreciate). i think i have one lined up so you don't have to keep searching but if you happen across one you can always let me know ;)

There's a great kids thrift store in ithaca that sometimes has nice strollers, so I'll keep my eyes open.
