All I want for Christmas . . .

Wishlists are such a memory of childhood.   The fantastic dream that Santa will bring you your hearts delight as seen in the Sears Wish Book.  Visions of sugar plums be damned — I have visions of STUFF.  This is my very self-indulgent list of things that I absolutely do not need but which would light up my life if they appeared under my Christmas tree.   Some are practical, some are absurd, but all speak to me on some level.

• Pull Raven
  This is so whimsical and fun!
• Scholarly Raven Print
  This print needs to be in my classroom, framed appropriately.  How fun!
• Bird Necklace
  Pink and birds . . . oooooo, my cup runneth over!
• Pink Dots Car Trash Bag Holder
  Stylishly keeping my car clean . . . that would be a good thing!
• Pink Needle Felted Bird’s Nest Pin with fresh water pearl eggs
  Lovely, isn’t it?
• Bird Brains: The Intelligence of Crows, Ravens, Magpies, and Jays
  My Amazon Wish List has about 6 books on Ravens — this is just ONE of them.
• Mondo Crow (errrr, it’s a Raven!) T-shirt
  Pretty cool, don’t you think?
• Calphalon Contemporary Nonstick 10-Inch Omelet Pan
  My husband loves omelets and I make good ones but somehow along the line, I’ve gotten rid of all my good omelet pans.  Maybe I should get this for HIM for Christmas!  🙂
• KitchenAid KSM150PSER Artisan Series 5-Quart Mixer, Empire Red
  This has been on my wish list for about 100 years!  Sigh.  Someday!
• iRobot Roomba Intelligent Floorvac Robotic Vacuum, Red
  I hate vaccuuming but this would solve so many of my problems.  We have a sunken living room and I want this little darling to scoot around daily and tidy up.  And, added value — Ruby will undoubtedly hate it!  🙂
• Joby GP1-01EN Gorillapod Flexible Tripod (Grey)
  This looks like such a useful little tool for someone with a camera addiction!
• OLYMPUS Telephoto Lens (C-180) IS Series
  This will work with my camera and let me get even closer to the bewds!  Too cool!
• The Genus Lavandula
  Lavender is my all-time favorite plant.  I have a lot of it in my yard but I want more, more, more!
• Beckett 7123010 Celtic Art Birdbath
  Isn’t this gorgeous?  Wouldn’t it look lovely in my backyard?
• Wild Birds Unlimited Advanced Pole System
  Someday I’ll have one of these too.  Not this Christmas but still, someday!
• Rat Terrier Shirt
  awwwww!
• Mini bird house ornament
  Gotta add to my Christmas Bird Collection, right?

So, what’s on your wish list?

Young Ravens in Love

Elaborate courtship
Sound, movement, touch, and whirling flight
Strengthens their lifelong bond
