My Favorite Things

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things

Bet you can’t read that without singing it, can you!

When you are asked, “What do you want for Christmas?” do you say:
a) “Oh nothing … I have everything I need.”
b) Give three or four very specific ideas

Melissa from 320 Sycamore is hosting a Favorite Things party, and since we are in the midst of the party season, there was no way I could say no to that invitation.   So just in case you were wondering, here’s just a few of MY favorite things!

1.  Pottery Barn Basic Slipcovered Sofa … do I really need to explain.  It’s just gorgeous.  And the covers are replaceable, so if I decide to completely change my decor, I don’t have to buy all new furniture, just a new slipcover!

2.  Ceylon Teak Collection from Ballard Designs … We’re planning on finishing up our side porch this Spring, and I would love to furnish it with Ballard Designs Ceylon Teak Collection furniture.  Simply beautiful!

3.  La-Z-Boy Recliners … TWO Please!  Several bloggers were invited to the La-Z-Boy Design Dash in October, including KariAnne from Thistlewood Farms.  Her room design was nothing short of AMAZING.  I loved everything about it.  But the one thing that made my heart completely flip-flop and twitterpate was the Houndstooth reliner in the corner.  Oh my!  How I would LOVE two recliners in that fabric.  Swoon!

4.  DeWalt DW744XRS Table Saw … We’ve been doing quite a bit of building here at Sunnyside Manor, and have a project list almost a mile long.  Having a Table Saw would make life so much easier, especially for some of the furniture and cabinetry we want to build.

5.   Mirabelle Fat Quarter Bundle from Fat Quarter Shop … I’m a quilter and I love, love, LOVE fabric, especially anything and everything Fig Tree.  Mirabelle is the most recent release and won’t be available until March of 2014.  I can’t wait!

So there you have it … just a few of my favorite things.  Santa, I hope you saw this!
