raindrops on roses...

raindrops and roses and whiskers on kittens
bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
brown paper packages tied up with strings
these are a few of my favorite things

cream colored ponies and crisp apple strudels
doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
these are a few of my favorite things

girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
silver white winters that melt into spring
these are a few of my favorite things...


and maria and i may not share many of our favorite things... i dont care for birds, so geese don't really make my skirt fly up. and dessert is not my fav, so i can pass on apple strudels.


here are some of my favorite things, as if any of you care... but you're in my world now...


dress forms.

i want one. in my house. stat.


calendars.






they all are different. i have no fewer than 4 in my posession at any given time.


junk food clothing t-shirts.



they have all sorts of shirts, and i want to buy up the whole store. vintage cereal and candy, nfl, nba, mr men, dr suess, star wars, coke, these shirts are my life. i don't even wear t-shirts. but i seriously want them all.


bloom'n soy candles.

the lovely lady that makes these candles goes to my parents church.





i swear, i will never buy another candle. indescribable.


nesting bowls.









i love bowls in general, but there is something about the way they stack.


decanters.







i have loved them since i was a little girl. it is not even because i am a booze hound. i think it started with soap operas. rich people in soap operas always have decanters. they are elegant and beautiful, and they all look different.


luggage. trunks. chests.






i will take one in every room, please.


library card catalogs.



i can not figure out how i can fit one in my house.


globes.



i don't have one. i used to have a blow up beach ball globe. i wonder where that went.


teacher pull down maps.


my mother in law got one. i could stare at it all day long.


and the occasional louis vuitton bag.




hey, a girl can dream, can't she?
