With apologies to Rogers and Hammerstein



I'm just a girl who cain't say no
I'm in a terrible fix
I always say "come on, let's go!"
Jist when I orta say nix...

Now where do we add the lyric about visiting the Amitie sale?

How could I resist; I just had to pop in (do you think you can say you were just popping in, if the visit involved a map of Greater Melbourne and four trains?). I had a lovely time. Amitie is the proverbial candy store and I had the pleasure of meeting the delightful Jenny, Gina and Lululollylegs. I can't wait to visit again.

Anyway, pictured is just a selection from the loot (being as the remainder is destined for secret crafty stuff). Can you guess which one 3 year-old Argy chose?
