Today I purchased a pair of these in tortoise. I drove to four (FOUR!) large chain eyeglass shops and wrote down exactly what I liked, and was then able to doink around online and find the frames for about three gajillion dollars less than what I would have paid in the store. I win.
Check out these button rings. They’re made by my dear friend’s niece, and I love them.
Speaking of love, I love everything in Isabella’s store. (As you know, I’m especially fond of the flatpacks. I ordered two of them as teacher gifts, and I’m REALLY itching to keep them for myself.)
Beautiful roving. Oh, how I need to devote more time to spinning.
I know I don’t need one of these, but I need one of these.
Speaking of which, this seems like a good idea, too.
Vic Firth salt and pepper grinder. Who knew?
I think my kids need a moon in their room.
I’ve tried several, and I loved them all. Especially these.
This is one of my very favorite movies.
I can see myself in this. With leggings.
I’m just so happy that this exists.
Are there things for which you hanker? Share them with me!

I just want an iPad. I’m kind of obsessed now. It’s a little absurd. I don’t live the kind of life where we get things like iPads. I don’t live a Cheerios life. I live an Oaty-O’s Generic Brand life.

Thanks so much for sharing this today! I LOVE the button rings and just ordered 5 – perfect little Christmas gifts for a few lucky friends.

LOL! I had to click on every link. The rings are cute and I love the dress. It is perfect for you. I just want a rolling case for my sewing machine and an immersion/stick blender.

You totally need a Keurig. It’s the BEST.

those button rings are great! And what a clever idea…I may sit down with my girls and start making rings…
…I just ordered something from Isabella… :)
…I found some adorable scarves for Christmas gifts this year–hand knit in a loopy-ish fashion and lovely colours for $3 each! Score! I love craft shows!
I want pants that fit for Christmas and a cute outfit. I think that a tunic dress and leggings would work….and some new shoes….instead, my hubby got tickets to a Bills game this Sunday and he bought me a personalized Packers mug. (He told me to expect it so I could wrap it for myself and be “surprised” on Christmas morning. He got a Vikings one for himself and one for each of the kids too–he likes his football!)

What I really want is health for my dad……but yeah – I get that’s not really what you were asking.
So:
Cardigans. I have decreed this will be the year of the Cardigan, and have informed my hubby to shop accordingly.
Kindle books.
Yarn
Cute earrings
Wool socks
Just Dance Wii game (for me – not my kids – maybe the ABBA one?)

I am proud to boast my very own MOON IN MY ROOM!
(but the batteries are kaput at the moment)

My brother and I loved that PSA when we were kids! I had been hankering for flannel sheets, so this week I splurged and ordered these:

Also, my hubby gave me the Ingenuitea Teapot for xmas 2 years ago; it’s great!

And exactly how is a button ring used?
10 marianne // Nov 30, 2011 at 6:10 pm
Those are fantastic glasses. I have some $$ in my health savings account that I have to use or lose in the next month and I seriously need to go glasses shopping. Exactly what I was looking for.

I want to make out with my Kuerig on a daily basis. Usually about the time my beautiful, wonderful, perfect cup of coffee is done. I love that stupid thing.

Oh!!!! I JUST NOW get the button ring thing. They’re rings for your finger. Durrrrr! I was picturing rings you put around buttons on your shirt to decorate them – which I did not “get” at all! (But I think they actually do make decorative button covers, don’t they?)
13 Ani // Dec 1, 2011 at 3:53 pm
Love love love the glasses and the dress.
14 Mitzi // Dec 1, 2011 at 6:10 pm
That dress is adorable and I can see you in it! I have wanted a Kuerig for a couple of years.
I really fancy this though: http://www.etsy.com/listing/76741550/antique-silver-spoon-ring-silverware?ref=sr_gallery_1&ga_search_query=spoon+rings&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_ship_to=US&ga_page=3&ga_search_type=handmade&ga_facet=handmade
We have both agreed we are not buying for one another this year though, so I will wait until January.

Well now, I’m blushing. *Blushes*. Such a relief that they turned up, you like them, you don’t want to give them away. *Grins*. I wish for you everything you would want for yourself. *Hugs*.
