gimme, gimme

my birthday is a short 13 days away (the big birthday - 30!!!), so naturally i've been thinking about the hundreds of things i'd like to have. okay, i honestly start thinking about it in february. it's ridiculous. anyway, i've been constantly adding to my mental wish list, and i think i should stop before i mentally spend more money than i'll ever make in a lifetime. a few of my top favorites on said mental wish list are these...

where to find these beauties: elk chandelier // vintage folding basket // vintage shift dress // vintage pleated skirt // witching hour necklace // alligator tie rack // vintage silk skirt // wood side table // gold leaf poster // vintage skirt

you know, on second thought, with such a large wish list, maybe i should just take up playing the lottery. yes, maybe i will. when you have a birthday coming up, how far ahead do you start making your list? or do you make a list? i guess being an adult and paying bills and doing adult things can be sort of meh sometimes, so that's why birthdays and christmas are still so fun, because those are days you can still celebrate and get excited no matter your age!

  1. I also love the witching hour necklace - I'm a bit of an et respice finem junkie.
    All of these picks are perfect!
    It's funny, I often make wishlists and then when my birthday rolls around I can never come up with present ideas for people.

  5. I LOVE birthdays and definitely make a bday list and email it to my mom and the hubs 2 months ahead of time, haha. And it's definitely as long as your wish list too :) Loving the items you picked - so unique! How are you celebrating?

    He wanted to know if Dr. Barshak (ID) spoke with you about the plan below - that perhaps his sore throats are r/t corhn's and he should have egd? Let me know what you think. The cortenemas are irritating him, so I am having him taper off.

  10. Get outta town, you're turning 30 soon?! I thought you were in your early to mid 20s. I love all of the items on your wishlist, especially that list vintage skirt (she's a real beauty) and I don't know you personally but everything here just screams 'you'.
