Avid Lister

Now that all that introductoryness is finito, let's get to the good stuff! Holiday wish-list! These are things that I will be thrifting for over the next winter months, in various degrees of accuracy...

1. Distressed leather boots to the tune of these babies from Free People. They will not, however, cost three hundred and something. I will post on how much I adore that company despite their deathly prices at a later date.


2. The Ray-Ban Wayfarer frame like these from sunglassesshop.uk. I don't want the whole shabang. I actually just want a sturdy frame to have real lenses put in as I have had shoddy vision since I was a wee babe and I sometimes like to trade out the contacts.

3. A Garden Gnome for my dorm/future apartment. What better company? This guy from Tradition-Shop is pretty bangin.


4. Absolutely any sweet tiny flower-prints dresses. Especially those ala depression era. I love the collar and practical pockets. I love this fabric from Not Too Shabby's website. I think it is a Rachel Ashwell design. I love her too. I'll go on about that lady later as well.


5. A kaleidescope! This one from Gasoline Alley is exactly what I want. Note the tiny birdie detailing. Who needs psychedelics when you have one of these babies? Or perhaps they were meant to go hand in hand...

Well, folks, the list goes on but alas my toes have froze and the night is old.
My luscious antique quilts beckon! Lastly, I'll leave you with an image of this smokin' babe from free-people's website. I really want to bleach my hair to match hers. It's just gorgeous. I've already kind of got the Scandanavian/German thing going for me so I think (if done properly this time!) this look will work. Must first find moolah for such excursions.
Anyway, here she is. Au Revoir from a much less blonde though quite happy girl!

Great blog you have here! I'm a big fan of tiny flower prints and garden gnomes.

I still haven't hit up Dot Fox since I've been back, now I really have even more reason to go!
