the day i realized the same chest of drawers shows up in my iphone photos 4 different times over the span of two years

… and blogged about them once already. I had totally forgotten.

{My Wishlist This Christmas} 2012

Ok, so after a week’s worth of Holiday Gift Guide’s for everyone else,

here are some of the things I’m dreaming of this Christmas

(and yes, I know, some of them are just dreams!).

This sparkly table top I can’t stop thinking about.

$230 for the table top and legs… Not sure how much just the table top is…

Gift cards to Lowe’s, Home Depot, or White Flower Farms to put towards flowers, pots, and garden supplies this spring.

Something beautiful from Ruffoni.

I especially like the stainless steel soup pot, the chef’s pan, and the braiser. $320 – $480

 

Gift cards to Sephora and/or Nordstrom to put towards cosmetics like Laura Mercier powder, benefit primer, Kate Somerville hydrating face serum and buffing pads, caudalie toner, Clinique eye makeup remover, Urban Decay eye liner sets, or eye shadow sets.

A gift set from teavana or a gift card so I can choose things myself.

A zojirushi water heater. $116

A teapot. $50

Anything from the Marie Antoinette china collection by Raynaud.

A pair of diamond stud earrings. $400 on sale

The possini euro opal glass chandelier. $400

A sparkly anklet. $25

A Victoria’s Secret gift card to put towards a bikini this summer when Luke and I go beach-hopping.

A pair of winged yoga pants or  fun tie-dyed yoga pants or rhinestone covered yoga pants

perhaps with matching camis. All styles 2/$55

 

A gift card to Topshop to put towards some bangin’ tights.

A pair of grey slippers  or teal slippers. $15 on sale

 A gift card to Sheer Bliss Salon in Durham.

$99.99 shopping spree

{A little peek at some of the things I’d consider spending $99.99 on if I were in the market to shop…}

Maybe a side table or (or nesting set of two) for our living room…

Or put it towards a snazzy new chest of drawers I’ve been spying at Pier One…

There’s no denying my kitchen would be happier with…

And I do need a good tea pot…

It’s starting to get cold outside which means some gloves, hats, and coats will be put to good use…

As would some great tights….

…and winter shoes too…

Or perhaps a few little things festive and merry to get into the holiday spirit…

Weirdly enough, none of my wishes or desires are leading me to Walmart in Houston… So why some scoundrel in Texas tried to go on a $99.99 shopping spree at my expense totally confounds me. Thanks, Chase Visa for having my back. I’ll go back to saving my pennies now.
