ha, oh god - could you imagine the main line terror children running around waving foam fingers at the cute horseys? Ah!!!

V- think about it - would you buy a ratcatcher that you weren't sure would match your shirt? Nuff said. :) hehe.

I think I would buy a white one?! If I wore white shirts?! I dunno... not a white shirt wearer so it's hard for me to say. I am thinking it's more the kind of thing kids would buy and they're less picky? Getting the entire shirt is going to be a non-starter, I think. Too much trouble and not enough payoff.

I wouldn't buy a collar and many people wear coolmax blends these days rather than 100% cotton so the fabric texture might not match.

But I'm all about the foam finger! I think someone's is still hanging out inside RBK's garage.

We elected to do neither the collars or show shirts, but we're doing most of the other stuff on the list. Yay!

Not, however, the foam finger. ;) Sorry guys.

Thanks for all the suggestions.

I'm boycotting next year if we can't get the Devon foam fingers.

I am not going to be able to convince them to go with the foam fingers. It's an "upscale" look. Foam fingers don't fly with the Mariposa/Pulitzer set. It was hard enough to convince them to get the equine items. More of a concession, at least this year, isn't likely to happen.

Would it please you to know we're doing Devon ribbon dog leashes/halters/collars and a GORGEOUS bag lined with silk Devon-print fabric. And more, even cuter men's ties? And the cute picture frames with Devon grosgrain ribbon? C'mon, we've got plenty of good stuff even if we don't have foam fingers.

P.S.- Kathy Gilmer, the show secretary, would SKIN ME ALIVE if we had foam fingers. She has enough trouble being the umbrella/dog in the ring/kid in the ring police. I do not think she'd take kindly to a bunch of foam fingers waving in horse's faces along the side of the ring. Seriously. She'd kill me.

It ran out of juice along with my cell phone. :P

If you saw some of the ideas that got floated, you'd see why I took you seriously on the foam fingers. People have some WEIRD ideas!

I love the picture frame and galoshes idea. I was going to do frames this year. NO MORE TIME!

Just curious.....can a person buy one even if they are not at the show? I don't go and I'm not sure I know anyone who might be there. I have a friend who only wears bow ties so I always try to find an unusual one each year for Christmas.
