Dreaming of Christmas...

a la West Elm's Nepalese penguins:

Also:

And:

I love Christmas. I love it even more when it includes adorable little penguins.

30 Before 30

1. Build a great piece of furniture, from scratch
2. Throw a dinner party, with invitations and real courses
3. (edited for privacy purposes)
4. Two more stamps on my passport (preference: Greece and Thailand)
5. No sugar/no carbs for 30 days. 30 long days.
6. Write a cookbook, to include a vegan section
7. Pick an athletic hobby and do it on a regular basis
8. Write another story I’m proud of and submit it for publication
9. Volunteer for a worthy cause
10. Go to a palm reader, or a psychic, or a tarot card reader.
11. Lose 20 pounds. For real. (i.e. stop eating only brown foods and incorporate more fresh products a la Jamie Oliver)
12. Go to some sort of “pick-your-own” farm
13. Organize my life. Like a real adult.
14. Purchase or acquire items necessary for a good working kitchen--pots, pans, mixer, dinnerware, etc.
15. Go on an actual road trip to an awesome destination. Different routes each way.
16. Buy a house
17. Have better posture
18. Have a wardrobe only with pieces I love--let go of the things I just keep around
19. Set up an online vintage shop--we’re talking low budget, only filled with a couple of things that I would want in my house if they don’t sell (basically, and excuse to go to flea markets more often)
20. Help a complete stranger
21. Read all of Jane Austen’s books
22. Grow and eat my own vegetable, fruit, and herb. At least one of each. Which is only difficult because I live in a tee-tiny apartment.
23. Develop a respectable craft and gifting center, complete with pre-prepared hostess gifts and accidentally forgotten birthday gifts
