It's here, it's here, get the door!
Christmas is just around the corner.
As a matter of fact, I just checked.
It's exactly 38 days from today!
A combination of horror and excitement just shot through me.
How about you?
So I thought it might be fun to whip out a little Christmas list.
A wish list if you will of all the fun products that are just waiting on the store shelves for Santa to pick out, wrap up and place under the tree for me.
That's assuming that our tree is still standing at that point and two naughty cats haven't leaped into it sending it crashing to the floor.
Let's assume.
And because I really am 85 years old and would love nothing more than to hang around my house in my pearls and apron all the live long day, I want this beauty!
Look how shiny and vintage!! Love, love, LOVE!
Makes me want a smoothie right now.
And then because there might be a few molecules of my DNA that are girlie and adore anything feminine and delicate, with just a hint of weird or edge...I love this shop:
Peaches4me's on etsy.
Go there and look at this lovely item (and others of course!) Don't steal my necklace...get your own!
Of course, all those vintage-inspired modern pieces made me think of my favorite-can't-afford-always-covet-never-actually-buy store.
One word.
Anthropologie.
Some day, after I've won the lottery I don't play, I'm going to shop at this store at will. I'm going to buy something in season, not on final clearance, and not feel bad about it. And still pay my mortgage.
Some day.
But until that day, let's just gaze together at the beauty that is that store. Shall we?
Because I'm a freeze baby who itches like a mad-woman in wool. Only cashmere and cotton in this beauty. Love-er-ly!
Are the buyers for this store stealing in to my dreams and nabbing all the beautiful things I wish for?? This couldn't be any more perfect for me if it had my name written across the front. Ooh, and incidentally I'm not a fan of things with my name inscribed across the front, so maybe don't put that on the list! :)
It's an apron...as lovely as any dress I've ever owned. An apron. Sigh.
Making my home look like Anthropologie?
Yes, I will have some of that. Just about the most adorable tea towels ever.
I'm not wiping up cupcake batter with these birdies!
And last, but certainly not least.
This list wouldn't be complete without a nod to cupcakes. The love of my life, behind my husband, dog, cats, and family members...oh, and my Kitchen Aid stand mixer.
Ok, so ONE of the loves of my life.
Ah, little cupcake.
Have I got a treat for you.
Your very own pedestal.
A queen on her throne.
Happy Shopping!
