At the very end of the month I turn 35. We’re very short on cash this month, so I’ll be thrilled if I get to go out on a date with my hubby. My love language has more to do with time and acts of service, but what girl doesn’t appreciate a good gift now and then? Here are some things I’d buy for myself if I wasn’t strapped for cash…and such a cheapskate.
2. I have a thing for coats. Perhaps it’s because in Central PA you need to wear one 8 months out of the year. These trench coats from Overstock.com are adorable and great for that awkward spring/fall transition.
5. “There’s no place like home; there’s no place like home…” I’m hoping to buy some red heels for myself. These heels cost as much as the camera. Mine will probably come from Payless. But I love the sparkly tribute to Wizard of Oz they’ve got going on here. Beautiful.
6. I have loved these footed cooler glasses from Crate and Barrel for 10 years now. Still love them.
I took the little quiz they offered online just to see what I came out as. Hmmmm. Drama Queen. Go figure.
9. This silver bee tea service from Neiman Marcus is precious. Love it.
10. How cute would the tea service be with these little embroidered napkins from Anthropologie?

I think the chicken completes the outfit- that is a great birthday wish list!!!

Ooh, I love that stuff! So cute! The robe is to die for. You know, I actually thought that gifts was one of your love language. It isn't?
Love the high fashion jab. What the junk are they thinking, anyway? And how do they make a living off of that?

Ha, where'd that chicken come from? I've never heard of this Victorian Trading Co, I'm gonna look at their site right now because that robe is gorgeous. It would make my morning cup of coffee so glamorous.
I know all about pinching pennies, that's why the majority of my clothes come from The Goodwill (I have so much Banana Republic bought at Goodwill), Target, and TJMaxx.

that's quite a little list of MUST HAVES.. at least thats what I would call them 🙂 I would love to try that wine– but I wonder if a Big Sister is allowed to drink Middle Sister without Middle Sister feeling once again infinged upon…hmmmmmm
love u good! Ti

That last picture with the chicken is so funny! I am so glad that you included it! What was that photo shoot coordinator thinking?!? LOL!
I hope you get lots of great stuff for your birthday!

Poor chicken! Can't believe you don't own an apron! I must be really old, as I have a collection of them. Hope your birthday comes with lots of cool presents!
