Wish list part whatever

2010-08-19T06:03:00.000-07:00

Cast iron skillets in a variety of sizes. Mostly small...

Counter composter. Cool!

Stainless food/water bowls for chickens

stainless steel measuring cups and spoons. Throw out plastic.

Glass storage containers with silicone lids

little glass glasses for kids--even better than they're recycled

glass blender--ditch the bpa plastic one i have

Wishlist III

2008-10-28T13:38:00.000-07:00

Anything from McMaster & Storm

I'd like some of this twine for tying up everything in sight.

I would like pretty much every Tasha Tudor book, print, card, origianal art...

Wishlist--food storage edition

2008-10-27T10:11:00.001-07:00

Composting bucket.

Food Dehydrator. I'd love a beautiful wooden one, but I'd settle for less (than $350!) or maybe Ty would build me one...

Victorio Strainer. If you've never used one of these things, you're missing out. They are so FUN!

I'd also like lots of canning jars
a canning kitchen in the basement
fruit trees and a huge garden
oh--and a gardener!

Wishlist II

2008-10-24T17:49:00.000-07:00

I can't stop now. This is the cutest apron! I need the pattern. I may have to by-pass Christmas and buy it now. Yes, I think I will...

Christmas Wishlist Part I

2008-10-24T13:23:00.001-07:00

I thought I'd take this blog over a bit with my Christmas wish list. I don't expect to get any of these things, but it's fun to wish, right? Posie Gets Cozy's book. Can't wait!
The Farm Chicks Book.

Beautiful sweater, so feminine. From April Cornell.

These necklaces. Also from Farm Chicks.

Farm Chicks t-shirt. LOVE the wagon.

What could I do to get these? Santa, I've been a good girl! Anthropologie.

Rustic Chic Wear

2008-10-15T19:10:00.000-07:00

I just adore these creations. I want to wear all of them (of course, the model's figure would help too...) Find them at Malphi Rustic Chic. Just beautiful!

2 Rooms

2008-09-02T10:45:00.000-07:00

Here are two very different rooms that I love: I just love the mossy toile wallpaper, beadboard panelling and antique mirror. I could just move this room into my house. Home July/Aug 2008
And this children's room is ingenious. Love the very separate sleeping areas made out of one room. Home September 2008

My Cottage Garden

2008-05-21T07:31:00.001-07:00

I'm working on my cottage garden and here are some inspiration photos. The top three come from a garden in Chelsea, designed around what soldiers missed about England in WWI. I adore the old bike and Union Jack bunting. We already have plans to fix up our pond to look like that one. I can't wait!

This one is just too amazing. Talk about a secret garden. The Gothic arches and stained glass are so cool.

Love the old fence.
