I happened by the same sale when they had it in the Spring and I also go some type of deal when I was in there a couple of weeks ago, maybe not 40%, but it was still good. They are my absolute favorite, I hope this isn't a sign to be worried about. I still miss their old location.hilaryghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14093995557994324629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-81911518491892729072014-07-31T12:51:59.344-04:002014-07-31T12:51:59.344-04:00I can't help but worry about Paron, too.

It would look so keen. (I know... I'm giving away my age with those adjectives. Lol)<br /><br /> Love the fabric print but I can't abide scratchy against my skin.
