Jen's Wish List

So, my Hanukkah Harry, whoever you are, please know that I am not
married to this list - they're just ideas - and thank you for whatever
you choose! Here we go:

1. Dean & DeLuca Metropolitan Rack (Large - No Spices, just the rack)
- $75
My spices haven't had a good home in many years and I have always
wanted this rack to help me organize, but who gives themselves
permission to buy a $75 spice rack? This would make me jump out of my
skin with organizational excitement!

2. The Visual Miscellaneum by David McCandless - about $18 from
Amazon
This looks like a really cool book - just published.

3. Martha Stewart's Encyclopedia of Crafts - about $19 from Amazon
I'm hoping for some good ideas for things to do with and for
Lola...

4. Zingerman's Bakehouse Stollen - $36 plus crazy shipping I'm sure!
I know this one sounds insane, but every year I want to get a
classic, rich, high-quality stollen for Christmas, and then I chicken
out because of the cost. Some years I think I'll just make my own, but
the ingredients are all specialty and have to be ordered (and then
wasted?), too. So year after year, I moon over super-good stollen and
then end up with nothing. Zingerman's makes really good everything, so
I'm sure this is really good too, but I'm not married to this
particular stollen.

5. Pottery Barn Wood Gallery Frames - Any sizes/number of openings,
but especially the multiples for 5x7", in Espresso Stain
I always want to add pictures to my walls and for a while I was
doing a great job. But now it has been 18 month since I put up any
pictures, mostly because I kept putting off the cost of buying frames.
Any new frames would let me get some of those great Lola 2-yr-old
pictures up on our walls. Right now it looks like they are 20% off.

But in the end, you know me...I like to cook, and be a mom, and
occasionally do crafty things, and read, read, read. Thank you, Harry!
