My wish.list

Mother asked me what I want for Christmas.

I don’t have much,

but

I would like:

1.Ballet Flats with Bows on the toes.

(Find these↑ here.)

•

2.A Locket.

(To find this↑ click here.)

•

3. Everyman’s Library Pocket Poets: BROWNING.

(Here.)

(So I can read more of this:

“Every common bush is set afire..but only he who sees will take off his shoes..while the rest of us sit around and pluck blackberries.”

Who doesn’t love that?)

•

4.A Poinsettia.

(I always wanted a Red Poinsettia♥…)

•

And

I would pretty much be completely happy if the only thing I had in my hands on Christmas Morning was

5.Tickets to The Nutcracker Ballet.

(PLEASE♥.)

•

Love.from

If I could actually read a lick of French♥

7 DAYS.

O dear.

I better get crackin’.

1 gift down.

1 half done.

1 2/3 done.

And 1 in my head.

Laria,

be ready to love it.

…

We played an indoor game tonight.

We lost.

7-2.

And the man in the orange socks accidentally slapped me in the left side of my face.

(Who slaps a Koala Bear?)

…

I have to say,

I ♥ Fancy hats right now.

I think I need to go and write a bit with a hat or two.

…

I’m reading Les Miserables: Tome III.

IN FRENCH.

My Papa laughed at me.

And even though I really don’t understand it,

IT IS THE BEEZ KNEEZ♥.

…

Love.

8 DAYS.

There’s only 8 more days.

I only have 1 gift done.

And 1 half done.

And another in my head.

Bother.

Ria,

you better love this.

♥

(We lost our game. 8-2. O dear. I got hit in the face. But we play again tomorrow. Maybe we’ll win. Maybe I won’t get hit in the face.)

Love.

lovely little lady.

my Mother brought me home WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE yesterday. she borrowed it from the library.

i am kind of so happy.

i really needed that book.

•

it was Miss Kirstie Rae’s birthday not too long ago. i blush to say that her package is awfully late. its still not even in the mail. but it is going to be filled with WONDER. and lots of other lovely things.

(really darling, i’m sorry its so late…)

i’m still not done the gift i’m making her. but i think i’m in love with it. i hope she falls in love with it too. i hope it makes

her heart jump

and her mouth laugh

and her pretty little hands shake with expectation.

i wish it would do that. because she’s so darn special to me. and i really want her to know that. really. she is pretty much my

BEST FRIEND.

not to mention she can milk a goat faster than i can say

“Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious.”

now that’s talent.

•

now i have to go and finish that sprucey little gift for that sprucey little lady

and read WHERE THE WILD THINGS ARE

and dream of sunflowers.

(’cause i’m in love with sunflowers today.)

love.

Dear film–The Time Traveler’s Wife,

i pretty much think you make me mad.

how could you do that?

i never laughed the whole movie.

but i forgive you.

because the wedding scenes were a.m.a.z.i.n.g.

the wedding scenes were

SWEET

and

THOUGHTFUL.

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

yesterday Miss Tandy turned sweet 16.

i sent her on a treasure hunt.

she found a trail of flowers and a bouquet.

some type-written clues.

hanging hearts.

a little scarf/wrap.

a FAIRY CROWN.

an almost done hand-knitted sweater.

an “I Love You” handmade book.

a 16 page letter.

a new blog.

a story (George and Josephine is finally done).

and a lot of LOVE.

♥

later that night we went to see The Time Traveler’s Wife.

(it didn’t meet my expectations. but it is really hard to meet my expectations when i’m wearing a high-waisted fuschia/magenta skirt and a pale blue blouse and tired legs.)

i think she had a smashing time.

Dear

today,

i hope you’re a good one.

secrets in my room and scooting chairs.

Miss Tandy’s birthday is on the 16th. i feel like i’m going mad. there are little presents hidden everywhere in my room and i am so worried that she’ll find one. it’s highly improbable that she would…but she could. and really, it’s very difficult to work on so many things at once. but i’m loving it. in a crazy way.

we watched Marie Antoinette last night. my favourite part is right after she and Louis are married and they are all alone in a sort of foyer and don’t know what to say. she suggests they sit down, and they do. but their chairs are terribly far apart. and he’s terribly nervous. and she’s so excited. it’s adorable. especially when she scoots her chair closer to his every so often. i loved it. —- i also loved the way Count Axel was head over heels for her and was willing to leave her to be queen.

i wrote a lot about George and Josephine yesterday. i made myself cry so hard. it was grand. i’m begininng to fall in love with George i think. i like that.

i have to go make Miss Tandy some more secret gifts now. and help Mumsie move wood flooring. O the tiresome task of home renovations. and making birthday presents when the birthday girl is right there. bother.

love.
