Ultimate Wish List

Just because I'm not Oprah doesn't mean I don't have an ultimate gift wish list. But let's be serious- these would all be for me, not my studio audience. Although, it would be sweet to give a trip to Australia, flown in by John Travolta!

Without further ado...my ultimate wish list for 2012 :o) feel free to contact me for my address if you just so happen to feel like buying me something for sharing yummy desserts with the world!

Tiffany's Garden Flower Ring

I am in love with this ring. I first noticed it about two years ago while browsing the Tiffany & Co. store at Ross Park mall. There are also earrings that match, but I never take out my studs. My grandma has a ring quite similar to this. I love the purple and rose gold together.


Louis Vuitton Mahina Selene PM 

My LV is one of my favorite gifts I've ever bought myself. Yes, that's right. It was something I had wanted for years and finally decided that you can never go wrong with a handbag that's been in style for over 100 years. I bought my LV galleria PM over two years ago and have used it pretty much every single day since. At first I only used it for special occasions, but honestly, if you're going to spend a crazy amount of money on a handbag, you should probably use it as much as possible. I told Ryan it would be a good investment down the road and our daughter will be super lucky her mom is so cool. (I actually said it will be vintage for our kids and he got that scared look in his eye he always gets when I mention "baby")

So on my ultimate wish list is this beauty. The Mahina Selene PM. I am obsessed. The price is astronomical but hey- good things don't come cheap. 

An iPad

An iPad, preferably white and engraved on the back. This is actually an ultimate wish gift because Ryan is 100% against Apple products. ("We're a Droid family!") Ugh. So I really want actually a tablet because I hate being upstairs in the office/man cave when I could be downstairs online shopping while watching Dancing with the Stars. Is that so much to ask for!?

Jimmy Choo Dylan Biker Boot

"She's fabulous, but she's evil." -Mean Girls

These are fab-oo-lous. Gah! I am speechless over these. I can only imagine how amazing they would be. 

Any Le Creuset Cookware/Bakeware

I love Le Creuset bakeware. I pretty much want everything on their site. But this dish would be great for casseroles and cobblers. And I'd get this for Ryan because I think a salt block is actually high on his wish list.

This bedroom set

Ethan Allen bed with Anthropologie Georgina Bedding. I have loved this bedding since it came out last year and I check at least once a week to see if it's on sale yet...it never is. Eh. I may just have to break down and buy it eventually. Let's see it just one more time, just because. 

Yep. I love it.

An Italian Vacation

 

 I'll admit- I'm a bit concerned about what we're going to do when we actually take our much delayed honeymoon. Ryan wants to go to Alaska and I want to take a European vacation and especially Italy. When we were in Germany, my extended family was soooo fantastic to us, and I would love to go back and spend some time traveling with them as well. Since we have waited at least 3+ years when we finally go somewhere, I'm sure we will go all out when we finally do celebrate :o)

OPI's entire Skyfall collection

Oh my goodness. I love every single color in this collection. Being a Bond fanatic, this would be a great gift. Our first date was also to see Casino Royale! Man with the Golden Gun has flakes of 24 karat gold in it and is sold separately than with the normal 12 pack collection.

Pottery Barn Chandelier

I'm not sure where I would even put this, but I love it! I want to get new lightning for our entrance way, and this is entirely too fancy, but I still think it's gorgeous. 

For the dogs 

Because they are a huge part of my life. They make these also over at a place near Seven Springs. This would be awesome because they provide shelter. I would have it open though and fenced in around it so the dogs could use the yard.

If the dogs needs a new home, so do we. There is property out where we live that Ryan and I are interested in purchasing. If that would ever happen we would build our dream home. Ryan wants something with a wrap around porch that would face the sunset and I want a kitchen big enough to hold 30 people. Here are some that I love.

I especially prefer the first one. But neither of those have porches. 

 This kitchen with the exposed beams and brick. I don't even know what I'd bake first in here.

 Heaven.

Eerily similar to my parents' house.

So I will leave you with this. Because this picture is almost identical to what it looks like now as the sun is setting on another glorious fall day, and because these are just all materialist things I would enjoy receiving. Because at the end of the day it is better to give than receive and that is why I left the house for last. It is something Ryan and I discuss often and we are beginning to shape and plan our future. A home we built ourselves would be the ultimate gift because we could live many happy years together with our future family.

What is on your ultimate wish list?
