a santa wishlist- for her

This holiday, really i'm most looking forward to that good ol' fashion family time. Christmas has always been a special time of year in our house. Lots of fireside time, reading, giggling and eating too much indulgent food. This year O and I are tyring to make all our gifts by hand. It has been fun and very rewarding. However I have to admit I've been to a few craft fairs and favourite stores and had my eye on some fun things. So here's my wishlist- to Santa Clause of course, who else would be able to deliver all this good stuff to one gal:

 

1. Rainboots- Living in Vancouver, with a stroller, a gal needs some good water proof boots. Ive had my eye on Hunters for the past few years. I like that they are tall and stylin'. Plus their timeless and built to last.

2. Calendar- I got one of these last year from Janis Nicolay at Pinecone Camp. I just love the cheery photos that greet me each month by my desk.

3. Maple Syrup- Little known fact about me: I have waffles and bacon pretty much every sunday morning. It is a ritual for O and I. He hates them, but loves how much joy it brings to my day. Would love to try some of this Noble bourbon barrel matured syrup.

4. Necklace- Not just any necklace. A local designer Henderson Dry Goods makes these sweet long chains. I love the old world quality and mixed medium process. Jane Austen is always good to wear close to the heart.

5. Soap- I am a total soap snob. There you have it. I love french triple milled soap and anything that leaves your skin buttery and smelling of a fresh shower. My favourite scents are: lavender, olive, musk and milk.

6. Yoga Pass- Before I had Luce I did yoga at Semperviva at least once a week, if not twice. I love the various studios and teachers. I am craving getting back into this again in the new year. Nothing like a few long hold poses to kick you back in shape.

7. Pencil Jar/ Flower Vase- I definitely don't need this by any means, but I have always loved Hayday Designs porcelain mason jars. So unique and delicate and great for multipurpose use.

8. Tea- I am a tea drinker. About 3 cups a day. I love all types, but my fave for an array of interesting selections are at David's Tea.

9. Print- I have come across this artist Jeannette from The Beautiful Project so many times, and always pause and stare at her amazing cards and prints. I couldn't find an image of the print I love (called Good Morning Sunshine), but her stuff is amazing.

10. Book- One of my most favourite authors, Adam Gopnik, has a new book out, fitting with the season called Winter. I heard an excerpt from this at the Massey Hall lectures and it sounds amazing.

That's a really nice thing to wish.
Material things are just a liability.

Write more, thats all I have to say. Literally, it seems as though you relied on the video to make your point. You definitely know what youre talking about, why waste your intelligence on just posting videos to your site when you could be giving us something informative to read?
