my christmas wish list
My friend Samantha put up her Christmas wish list on her blog yesterday, and I thought it was so much fun! I absolutely love peeking at what people want for Christmas—so I thought I’d do it, too! Now, my list is pretty moot for a number of reasons (we don’t exchange gifts in my family and Craig and I have already decided to do a handmade only Christmas) but it’s still fun to think about what things you want Santa to leave under the tree. Oh, to have unlimited spending money. Onto the list…
- Super Natural Cooking & Super Natural Every Day. I’m hesitant to admit I don’t read a lot of the “big” food blogs (for various reasons), so I honestly had no idea who Heidi Swanson was until my sister-in-law handed me these cookbooks to browse through. I want to make every single recipe.
- New coffee mug. Just on Sunday my curvetastic hips bumped into a side table and sent my favorite mug off the edge to it’s doom. I’m sad. And need to find a new mug that fills my requirements: large, big handle, cute. I really like this purple one from Uncommon Goods, but I’m not about to spent $22 on one, single mug. No-sir-ee.
- Indiana necklace. I’ve coveted this Indiana state necklace for years. Years, I say! If I got it, I’d want it on a nice long chain. I <3 long necklaces.
- Candy-stripe pants. Speaking of Indiana, please someone get this girl a pair of candy-stripe pants, already! For the longest time, these suckers weren’t sold to the public (well, adult-sizes at least), but just recently they started selling them and I WANT.
- Tart pan. I have no real need for a tart pan, but gosh, they are so fun. And I’d come up with uses! I want them in all different sizes. The tiny ones are particularly adorable.
- Good yoga mat. My current yoga mat is (a) a $5 one from a hardware store and (b) living in the barn. I’d love a nice cushy, non-slip beautiful mat. And a towel to go with it wouldn’t suck either.
- SmartWool knee-high socks. I’m currently deep in the midst of a hate-hate relationship with my sock drawer. Most of my socks are cheap things from discount stores. I want adult socks! That are warm! And cozy! And expensive.
- Pink work gloves. I’d really like a pair of obnoxiously bright pink work gloves for working around the property. Random, right?
- Red stripe short overalls. I think my transformation to a country girl will be complete the second I own these.
What’s on your wish list this year?

I have a couple pairs of Sahalie socks and really love them. They are certainly worth the expense.
Someone in my house is getting #4 shhhhhh
I have pink polka-dot work gloves, so I definitely understand your need for pink ones!;)
OH! Where did you get them? DO WANT!
My Yogitoes towel was such a great purchase! Totally worth the $50-$60. Avoid fabric softener and it will last forever. I hope Santa leaves you one under the tree.
I have many pairs of the knee high SmartWool, Sahalie and Carhartt socks. The Smartwool have lasted longer than the Sahalie — but both pairs have frayed at the toes and worn away at the heel. It’s worth noting that I wear them a lot. Like every day. Mind you, I do cycle through about 10 pairs, but still. I actually found that the Carhartt brand lasts much longer than the other two and they are less than half the price, Just thought I’d throw that out there. http://workingperson.com/footwear-1/socks/womens-socks/carhartt-stipe-turn-cuff-denim-knee-high-sock-wa2213dnm.html
Oh… I love that you are doing a handmade/homemade Christmas. My husband and I have been doing that for the past 3 years and it is so much fun. If you need a new mug and do like to buy handmade you should check out twopotters.com I have a bunch of their stuff it is so nice.
I love those knee high socks. They would be on my list too if I had one!
I have Super Natural Every Day and it is fantastic. Every recipe I’ve made from the book has turned out great and Matt likes them all too even though they’re all vegetarian. Last week I made the wild rice casserole– SO good.
I have a Manduka yoga mat which was expensive and it’s still pretty slippery, unfortunately. I’ve heard great things about the traction on Jade mats though.
I think you should ‘secret santa’ for youself and get Heidi’s books … they’re so good! But you knew that already right
I love these mugs too

but I’d also have to pay shipping to Australia …so I think they’re staying on the ‘wish list’
Have a great christmas
