Oprah is no longer around to do
her Favorite Things
list...
So I thought I would do my own version
but one that is MUCH more affordable and some of it free!
Lets start with my Oilcloth Carry All from Cath Kidston.
I love it because it never gets dirty!
It is perfect for toting art supplies, you could pack a picnic lunch in it, use it as a last minute diaper bag,
it is such a perfect size to fit your own small purse in and then a lot of other items!
It is truly a Carry All!

| I also purchased a couple of the cloth shopper bags Very affordable at $10. I used them for small grocery trips , at the beach to throw my keys,phone,camera and snacks or placed my journal , books, in with my purse for days when I wanted just a little extra space. |
The Cath Kidston site has a great after Christmas sale going on now !
I bought these sandals at Target during the summer
they could coordinate with almost any summer outfit I had
and they were comfortable!
They are actually on clearance right now for like $5 and some change!
I may get another pair!
This Cynthia Rowley throw is the best!
I use it pretty much every night as a lap blanket.
So soft and plush and it is has the most beautiful ruffles!
Love me some BareMinerals lip gloss
such beautiful natural looking shades and is prefect for preventing those dry winter lips too!
The Love and Toast line...
wonderful company concept and scents that are not overpowering.
Another great designer line you can find at Target!
THERE
line of scents from World Market.
My favorites are the Balinese Jasmine and the Indian Champra
different and exotic
but again are not overpowering.
The scents remind me of summer
and
I wore them a lot.
I love the perfume oil they have
it stays on your skin longer and you only have to put a dab.
They have candles and reed diffusers also.
 Garlic Expressions |
| This vinaigrette is liquid gold in our house. We use it to marinate, on pasta, and as salad dressing. The most amazing taste but no that fake overpowering garlic taste like most major brands. Highly recommended!   The whole family loves this yummy goodness! We love that you can get a little or a lot! Don't have to spend a fortune and it is fun to mix flavors and toppings! Something for everyone! Sugar free or all the sugar you want! Love the strawberry and the mango!  So when I saw Zoe D. was starring in this new series I had to watch. Her funny off kilter awkwardness makes it so much fun! New Girl On Tuesday night is a must! |

| Loved the craziness and the things created on this season of Work-Of-Art on Bravo.  is so beautifully filmed and the music is awesome. These two are like a couple of kids on the greatest adventure of their life. Once you see it from the first season it amazing to see how much their journey is causing them to "grow" as people. If you want to see some places not normally featured on the typical "Travel" shows but are equally as beautiful and unique yet a little fun in between - you must see this!  Absolutely fell in love with the Beekman Boys reality series on Planet Green! I can't say enough about all the great things these two are perpetuating on so MANY levels. Not to mention they actually talk to just about anyone and everyone on FB or in person. Their new cookbook is Fabulous! Loving trying all the new recipes!  Happy Harris love the voice and the fun , funky, updated retro vibe! visit her site here **And sorry I can't believe I missed this the first day** Maybe because I can't believe it has been that many years... so - means I'm getting older... also listening to the  wonderful for a real fan! Amazing how music from a particular time in your life can take you right back... Good and Bad and also how it can make you see how you have grown... This album has brought so many emotions up it is crazy and inspiring! visit the Pearl Jam site for more info.  A friend gave this to my grandmother from whom I then borrowed it. Everyone in the U.S. should have to read this right now! Especially because of our economy. Such amazing stories of what people lived through during The Great Depression. A lot of things you never learned in school. Things that would make people think twice about a lot of situations right now and how they view them. This book has made me very thankful and a lot wiser. Made by the company that publishes the magazine Reminisce  When I have one of those artists brain storm moments that hits me no matter where I am I always have something to jot that idea down in!  My ICamera has become such a part of my daily life! The Apps I love are as follows: (above) The vintage 8mm camera amazing film footage abounds!  Filter fun!  I have created some of my fav. photos with these three Apps!  Enough said? So addictive but an amazing reference tool for me as an artist and for some personal fun!  Lastly as an artist maybe I was behind on this one but I love me some Washi tape. Introduced to me by Fred. I think I could spend waay too much money on this stuff if I let myself. This line by Tim Holtz has added that perfect accent for so many things I have created this year! I had a lot of fun making this list. Hoping maybe I introduced you to a new favorite! |
Oh yeah, love washi tape. I must get that Depression book -- it sounds wonderful!
