Ok, so I’m not Oprah. But here are some of my favorite things, things that make me happy:
M.T.W. Formosa Keemun Tea ~ It’s my favorite of the Mark T. Wendell teas, though running close behind are their Indonesian, Russian Caravan, Darjeeling, and Cheericup Ceylon. Try it, you’ll like it!
Sweaters from Garnet Hill ~ I love love love Garnet Hill sweaters. Yes, they’re pricey, but keep an eye on their Sale of the Day for some great deals. And you’ll have the sweater forever.
Edward Gorey wall calendar ~ Jim and I have a tradition of buying these, beginning with the one we bought on our honeymoon. We have yet to find one for 2010, though…
The Cat Empire ~ My favorite band. They’re wicked talented and innovative in the way they mix and match musical styles, and they just plain make me happy. If you haven’t heard of them, you really need to listen to a song or two. And then buy their albums.
Fa liquid shower soap ~ Mieke introduced me to Fa back when we were in college, and I was psyched to find Fa products at my local independent drugstore. My favorite is Energizing Kiwi Mix.
Nashoba Brook Bakery ~ They made our wedding cake, which was awesome, but more importantly they make my favorite breads. I love the Raisin bread for breakfast, the Sourdough bread in a sandwich, and the Olive bread as a special treat.
And that’s my top six list. What’s yours?
Hey Abby! Jean posted her list! And I am NOT on it. Bad Jean…very bad Jean. http://jeanharper.org/?p=840
Well, Owen, you’re not a THING, you’re a DOG. So it would actually be insulting if you were on the list.
And now I’ll go over and read Jean’s list…
Oh. Okay. I feel better now. Thanks.
ps Jean should put the cats on her list. hee hee
