As long as you put in a bit of vineger and make sure it gets heat set (microwave, boil it, or steam it) it's permanent! It's also addictive. At the moment I've got a whole drawer full of blank silks and koolaid waiting to expiriment with. Thanks for the other store ideas! I knew there had to be more, I just don't get to venture into town very often. :) http://lyneya.wordpress.com/2008/11/22/playsilks/

I went to Linden Hills Natural Home last week, as well as Wonderment. I got wood alphabet blocks and silk scarves. (i've since done research online and it looks super easy to buy scarves in bulk and dye w/ kool aid! I'll be doing that for the rest of the rainbow of colors) Just today I stopped into a new shop on Nicollet, the Green Goober. Great selection, mostly for ages 2 and up. they also have soy printed books, very reasonable--$6.99 for a really cute board book. I'm excited to start making some toys. Something about the sense of accomplishment seeing your little one enjoy something you created for them!
