Things I need*

*okay, so I don't need any of these things, I just like making lists.

I really need 10,080 feet of baker's twine. I've had my heart set on this for so long. I can think of a plethora of things I can do with this string. Right now I really want to pack up sandwiches for d. to take to school with him. I will wrap them up in wax paper and tie them with baker's twine, all while pretending it is 1951. 

These cutie-patootie PowWow princess moccasins from Darlingtonia.

And finally, this pom-pom maker from Clover. I had no idea that such things existed, I used to make them the old school way by wrapping yarn around cassette tapes. But cassette tapes are becoming harder and harder to come across. The last one I think I've seen was my sister's Titanic soundtrack. Oh, man.

Yet Another Wishlist

First I would like to say that I got everything (save one item) off of my birthday wishlist! I received my final present on Friday night, the skinny legged black pants and they are very cute, paired with my black Ray Bans I make quite the wanna be beatnik.

Today my fiance and I went to register for gifts, I don't think either of us really knew what we were doing and I ended up leaving the store more overwhelmed than anything. I did a bit of perusing on Anthropologie's website, which can be quite dangerous you know, and I came up with a fantasy wedding dish registry that I would like to share with anyone who happens to stumble across my humble blog. So here is another list...

Birthday Wishlist

Well, it's about that time of year again and I thought that to make things easier for my gift givers, I would make a little birthday wishlist for them. I am also currently stuck in the house while braving yet another snow storm. This craft pad is full of cute little embroidery transfers and is on sale at Amazon for only $5.18! Okay, so the cover is a little bit dorky but this book is full of tips for starting your own crafty business. The more obscure the craft supply the better, and these washi paper tapes fit the bill. Also any little millinery supply from the etsy shop Caramelos, like these cute cotton spun mushrooms, would be perfect. I'm imagining an entire outfit around these sunglasses where I look like an early 1960s beatnik or a Bob Dylan devotee. I saw a pair of Ray Ban Wayfarers at Marshalls this winter for only $60 and I am kicking myself that I didn't buy them. I started seeing these heart tights around on the blogs I frequent and I must admit that at first I didn't care for them, but I really like them now and I enjoy adding to my tight collection. They are pretty easy to come across, like on Urban Outfitters (I've got to help some people out here :) And finally, this Trader Joe's Lavender Salt Scrub, I saw it the other day at Trader Joe's and it smells just like the summertime and is inexpensive, even better. Oh, and while we are on the topic of Trader Joe's, their Jojoba Oil would be a fun present too. Well, I hope I've helped everyone out with gift suggestions. *UPDATE* Since I am still in the snow, I have done some perusing for the perfect cropped black pants to go with my Ray Bans, and I found these slim cropped pants on Gap. I'd say they fit the bill!
