Those rainbow laces were so tempting!  Yay!  Thanks for showing us your selections!
I have a pair of shoes where the laces are dead (aglet fell off one and it's unraveling) and this was serendipitous! They'll make me smile when I wear them.
The usual. American girl meets British guy. They fall into like, then into love. Then there was the big decision. The American traveled across the pond to join the Brit. And life was never the same again.

It made me laugh.

Aww.  I only have to compete share with my husband.  But at least you'll have a sloppy Joe (or two?).

Yep, hubby doesn't like them so just me and tiny human. There was really something else I wanted, the heaviest item, but I took the same thing last time, so I'm letting someone else have a chance at it :)
