I'd pay something like $10-$20 since they're so cute. But I wouldn't have a clue haha. Oooh they're gorgeous! ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I wouldn't have the foggiest as its been 2 years since I had Arna!! But what I would suggest is go around and have a look at how much other people sell them for and the quality they are made at... then compare that to how much it costs you for material and then time as well and work out a price.
Hope that helps in some way!! ------------- http://www.snugglepie.com">

Maya had a pair similar to the top ones, they had sheepskin knitted into the bottoms, her godmother bought them from a petrol station in Whangarei, the guys wife knitted them. I have no idea how much she paid, but I imagine it was around $10 or so. Maya practically lived in them coz they were the only ones that stayed on. -------------  Maya Grace (28/02/03)

The ones with sheepskin in the bottom are amazing!!!
I'm not really into booties myself (though yours are gorgeous bex!) as there are so many cute socks and stuff out there now that take a fraction of the time to put on, but the Hannah lived in the sheepskin ones. That isn't much help for your post bex, but maybe some guidance if you are going to make them to sell... ?? (Though it may be very uphelpful as well!!! Sorry!!) |

| I just brought some mittens and a hat made of some random nice wool for like $9 all up so maybe if on trademe about $6 for yours. It all depends on how long they take you to do and how much u think for the wool etc etc but yeh they are very cute! I would get some off you but i have almost a drawer full of booties oops!! lol |

My mum crocheted Ellas' slippers and they had sheepskin bottoms too..
I really love your little hats and the matinee jackets.. I had a few of those when Ella was young, she wore alot of knitted things actually as I had the time to wash them by hand! No time anymore so she wears polarfleece :P Edited to say that as my mum made slippers for me I'm not sure how much I would pay.. I guess up to $10  ------------- http://lilypie.com">

Thanks all for your great comments, they've given me a good idea, i got my mum to post a pair on TM for a trial to see how they go but i have'nt put up my hopes since there are sooo many on there. But il give it a go as the extra money would come in handy hehe
