Easter Basket Wish List

Thursday, March 11, 2010

I have been good for Lent so far. I have not bought anything (except paint and something Kate teachers said she needed). I was not at all tempted the first week but it seems to be getting a bit harder. In all seriousness, I have thoroughly examined my buying habits and I think I will be a changed woman when all of this is over.

However, I have been tempted lately. It seems like everyday my favorite stores are e-mailing me or sending me insanely fabulous coupons (thank you J.Crew, Gap and Anthropologie). AND Target is coming out with this whole Liberty of London line. I have loved Liberty of London designs and fabrics FOREVER. I had LOL fabric shirts and skirts when I was in my 20's. Sigh. I am not really sure how I am going to be able to pass this line up. Lord, help me.

Anyway, I was thinking that maybe my husband would want to get me a really special Easter basket this year filled with a few goodies since I am being so obedient in my Lenten sacrifice. And just in case he did want to reward me, I ought to give him a few suggestions (wink, wink). I am sure he is grateful for low credit cards bills this month.

My black lizard watch band is falling apart and I would love this alligator one to replace it. I know it is expensive, honey. But just think you bought me the watch and 2 watchbands for Easter 4 or 5 years ago. So, this is much less expensive.

Also, I am REALLY missing drinking my water out of plastic (since we got rid of all of it). I miss my tervis tumblers. Glass just does not keep water cold enough for me. I would really like one of these (monogrammed in chocolate brown or lime) to run around town with my water.

I am also coveting these flip flops. I cannot wear a lot of flip flops. Most of them make my feet hurt. But these look really great. I would probably be a 6, honey:) The ones on the bottom are from Nordstrom and would probably coordinate with more of my clothes (hint, hint).

I will leave it at that although I am sure the devil will tempt me with a lot more before Easter. Dave, these are things that ought to be ordered now in time for an Easter basket (in case you were wondering;)

  2. I recently discovered your blog one day while blog hopping, I have enjoyed ready your posts and looking at your beautiful photos.

    I just ordered two pair of Cole Hann flip-flops that are similar to the ones on your post from Neimans for $21.00 a pair, not to tempt you or anything, LOL!!

    Have a great day :)

  13. Kim, You're half way there and you're doing a great job! How fun to cruise the internet looking at things you want to get once Lent is over. I guess that's called delayed gratification, right? So, keep it up, your commitment is an inspiration.

  18. I understand the watchband. Gotta hold the fancy watch on the wrist.

    I think we still have the label maker for the kSh.

  19. Well, if it helps you any, I've been drooling over these Tory Burch sandals:

  20. You crack me up!

    I also have been very good with my "no extraneous purchases" Lenten sacrifice. But packing for Hawaii, I was very aware that everything I'm bringing was what I was wearing in my pictures from last year. My mom is meeting us there this year so I'm hopeful she might take me shopping at one of the many cute shops at our hotel! I stand a much better chance getting her to buy me something than Robert - LOL. Good luck with Dave!

  25. Hi! You mentioned on my blog about The Jefferson that you are from Charlottesville? That's where I grew up! Are you still there?

    I would love for you to become a follower on my blog and add me to your blog list - I just became one of yours!

    If you would like to add my button to your blog (you can grab it from mine)I would be happy to send you a free Car Monogram or something else (we can discuss).

    BTW, I sell Tervis on my website and their PBA levels are so low that you would have to drink about 1,500 glasses of water a day out of a tumbler to even approach a non-threatenting level... Just sayin' they have worked really hard to allieviate any problems!

    Hope to hear back from you! Feel free to e-mail me directly,

    Collars Up!
