With my birthday coming up on April 16 I thought it was only appropriate that I post my wish list.  While this is mostly just a place to gather my own thoughts, hopefully it will also serve as a reference for people who want to buy me gifts now or later.

Magazine subscriptions to Real Simple and Martha Stewart Living - I probably buy enough of these magazines off the rack to pay for the yearly subscription so I figure it’s about time to take the plunge.

Magazine rack - We have a paper problem, we never seem to know with the “extras” that come in the mail that we maybe aren’t ready to recycle.  So if I’m going to get a magazine subscription or two I think I should plan for a place to put them.

Crafting books: A is for Apron, Amy Butler’s In Stitches, Amigurumi World: Seriously Cute Crochet, Donna Kooler’s Encyclopedia of Sewing, Knitting and Crochet (3 separate books) - or other cute crafting books.  Every time I go into a craft store I find a handful of books I’d love to buy.  I literally want my own library of craft books.

Knit (or cashmere!) scarfs IN EVERY COLOR - I have two right now pink and coral and I wear them all the time so I don’t feel I need to do anything more to rationalize adding to my collection.

Anything Kate Spade - but specifically these two bags, and even more specifically the first one.  But even though it’s one of Kate’s cheaper bags, at $295 I don’t actually expect this as a gift, rather I will probably wait for it to go on sale.

This list probably could go on and on but these are the things I’ve been thinking about lately.
