This chic umbrella stand (that is now on backorder from ZGallerie).
This spooky yet I can't look away Monkey Vase from Home Decorators. (Loved it ever since I spotted it over at Kay's place Apartment #412)
Any old overhead projector for crafty pursuits.
So what's on your wish list?
Scary monkeys, run!! ;) The umbrella stand is chic and whimsical, love it! I had an overhead projector that I gave away before we moved in the summer, I couldn't think of anything to do with it (except large-scale mural tracing and the odd shadow puppet theatre, both of which I don't plan on doing anytime soon). What are your crafty plans with it (if Santa is good to you)?
ReplyDeletea cubby shelf from pottery barn!!
ReplyDeleteKerry - I'd like to try a wall mural. It might be a bust so I'd be fine with a cheap second hand one. It just needs to project, nothing fancy.
ReplyDeleteagoodbuild = Oh, I want that too! I forgot all about it :)
I have a projector for crafty pursuits as well, and love using it for large scale wall murals! I hope Mr. Claus hears your request! They come in handy! :)
ReplyDeleteThese are so cool. I'm craving some new art for my living room. Not sure what yet though.
ReplyDeleteThe monkeys are scarey:) I think I would think twice about them. LOL I love the phone though. This year we just moved into a new home so that is our Christmas. I did buy Michael Buble tickets and wished myself a Merry Christmas.
ReplyDeleteLMAO re the reactions so far to the monkey vase. He's actually not TOO scarey in person :) and kinda cute when he's holding something.
ReplyDeleteMost of my list consists of books. So hopefully I'll get 'em all.
Aww...that umbrella holder is too cute!! Hopefully the hubby is looking :-)
ReplyDeleteThere are about a dozen of those overhead projectors in my university's surplus shop. Just an idea, if you don't mind something a little clunky...you'll probably be able to find one if one of the NYC area colleges has a surplus sale.
ReplyDeleteOur surplus shop went online this year and from what I hear, this is pretty common. :)
Spooky monkey made me almost pee my pants. Love its chic kookiness!
ReplyDeleteOn my list: recessed lighting throughout our house. Too much? =]
Ditto on the surplus sales. We must've gotten rid of 500 projectors this past year. I guess I would've held onto mine if I'd considered the crafty option... Fie!
ReplyDeleteLove the umbrella stand! I Got a few furniture pieces from ZGallerie last year~ love that place!!!Gotta stop by and take a look now that you showed off that OH~ so chic stand! Let see what I can put on my list this year;o)
ReplyDeleteA new Kate Spade purse!
ReplyDeleteNice eclectic list...I'd like a new camera, some loaded JCrew Gift Cards, perhaps a new bag and I'd be more than happy!!

Love that telephone! I want a Garmin GPS for my bicycle!
ReplyDeleteBlessings...
I love the Hollywood Glam telephone. Hoping Santa gives you everything on your list.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea about the surplus sales - how would I find that locally?
ReplyDeleteOh I love it all. I have never seen that umbrella stand...is it really sold out? bummer!
ReplyDeleteLove all your picks! Unlike you, I'm from a fairly rural area, but we recently had several industrial businesses that donated our school lots of overhead projectors. They have gone to powerpoints and computer projectors and rarely use them. You might find one cheap that a local business is through with.

I got that monkey vase last Christmas! I love it!
ReplyDeleteLove the telephone and the umbrella stand (even though it hardly ever rains here....) I'd have to pass on the monkey, though. Sorry.
ReplyDeleteI would say I could always take more fabric for quilts, but my house is overrun. So maybe storage units would be in order....
Hi,
ReplyDeleteI've been following your blog for awhile but have never left a comment until now.
You should check out the Conair Classic Metropolis Retro Style Corded Phone on Amazon.
I got one a month ago for my bedroom & love it.
I've kicked myself yet again for not buying that umbrella stand when it was in stock. Dummy.
ReplyDeleteCreepy ceramic animals are the best! Hope you get everything on your list.
ReplyDeleteAs for me - French Bulldog, cowboy boots, colored Hues tights, Chocolate Bar's Salty Pretzels dark chocolate bars, some Stumptown coffee, and anything my friends of family think I would love!
You can find vintage phones galore on ebay for a reasonable price. Oh, and in working condition, too.
ReplyDeleteI hope you get everything you want this year :)
