Wishing

Wishing for..

a vintage sequin dress for dancing, an Ottolenghi cookbook (if I can't get to the restaurant myself), a renewal of my Frankie subscription, candles that make our home smell like Christmas, a chic sports bra, some moonlight cinema tickets, a moleskine for lists, a baking dish to cook for friends, a rosemary bush that doubles as a giving tree, and a flame-coloured scarf that's perfect for every occasion..

   

Despite not needing anything or really wanting anything for Christmas this year (last weekend with my family is the most magical gift I can possibly think of), it's still fun and somewhat productive to figure out some needs versus wants. At the end of the day though, I just want 2012 to arrive so I can get to know it. I hate to wish days away, but I'm so excited and ready to see a new year.

Final thought:

If I could give or receive any three things they would be:

1, Lindt chocolate and unlimited 2-for-1 burger vouchers

2, a blanket and a night under the stars

3, an unexpected day off

and in their stocking (the best part..),

an afternoon of favourite games!!*

What things are you wishing for and what would you always be happy to receive?

*we played balderdash and handball all last weekend. I had the best time.
