My (partial) Christmas Wish List for family and friends

____________________________________________________________


For my grandchildren:   A turntable (aka, a record player)
so they'll know how REAL music should sound.

Mommyish
Record players are actually making a come back.  Progress!

For my daughter, Brynna:  Vintage Italian tulip chairs
to match the handmade trestle table she inherited.

For my niece, Shasha:  A darling gypsy wagon

because she dreams of traveling the world.

Florid Soul

For Mom (a documented gumdrop addict): Gumdrop Fudge!

Shugary Sweets
Click here for the ahhhhhhh-mazingly easy recipe.

For Archie and Boswell:  the best blog assistants deserve
the Olympic medals of dog biscuits - bronze, silver, and gold.

Top DIY Projects
Make these festive gifts yourself with a box of
Milk Bone dog biscuits and a can of spray paint.


Helping write a blog every day is exhausting.  Part of
their benefits package includes frequent naps and snacks.

For my BFF Lisa (who always has perfect hair):
a Scotch Tape hair cut!

This childhood ritual explains why
I could benefit from Psychotherapy.

For my brother, Doug (who believed that every family
would have a personal flying saucer by 1985):

Chronically Vintage
Growing up we religiously watched The Jetsons and dreamed of life
in the 21st Century.  I'm still surprised that I don't have one of those
"sprinkle a drop of water on a small sponge that pops up into a 6
course meal."  So much for progress.

For Aunt Jan (who refuses to learn how to text):  a carrier pigeon

For neighbor Gene: a mounted deer head

Rachel Denny
Now you can sleep late on Saturday mornings.
(P.S. Instead of buying another gun buy
your wife a pair of diamond earrings.)



For my son Adam:  an ugly Christmas sweater kit and tie
because you laugh at my fashion sense in vintage photos

Hairspray and High Heels

For nephew Casey (a true Southern Gentleman):
the longitude and latitude of the Mason-Dixon line

The Old Try



For all Hipsters:  sandal socks so they'll have a TRUE
sense of fashion (I'll also throw in a record player) 

For high school friend Claire: a Styrofoam cone 

(private joke!)


For Uncle Jimmy: Bacon toothpaste
because you just can't have enough bacon.

Mr. Bacon


For sister-in-law Janie: you bring the key and I'll bring the skates
(if you understand this then you're a fellow Baby Boomer)

For my beloved husband, Bob: so
he'll know what a REAL fixer-upper is!

And for every 2 story house in the World:  indoor slides!

You're welcome.
