Good morning,

Yes, I love this set, too. I love yellow and white together for babies and it's perfect when you are working in advance of the birth! ;)

There is always a taker for the baby items I make. I always have a few around to be ready for the next time I need something for a gift. I recently gave away the last one so am now ready for the next time I need a gift set.

Thank you, everyone, for stopping by.

Very best,
Lois
