if i were making my list today, here's what i'd say.
a. a cozy pair of flats. happy with your flats? fill me in. maybe i need those ones that look bendy?
b. almond butter. mmm. yes. i love asking for food for Christmas. almond butter is expensive!
c. food processor/blender. my kitchen needs some help. (fingers crossed for a 12-cup processor!)
d. new robe. nothing expensive, because it will be getting spit upon. but white is nice for bleaching.
e. the music man. i want to put this movie on our iPad and take it wherever i go in life.
f. weck canning jars. pretty. glass. storage. end of story.
g. herbal tea. grocery store gifts are my fave, remember? i'd like rooibos and chamomile, please.
h. non-maternity yoga pants. i thought my maternity ones would still work… uhhh. no.

Funny you put both b and c on your list; I've been making almond butter with my food processor since I stumbled upon Sheena Jibson's almond butter post this summer. Still a little expensive (those darn almonds!) but still cheaper than buying it. Unfortunately it *does* take time and it's quite loud... but man I love it!
A food processor is definitely something I would love to have!!! I just used our blender this year but I think a food processor would pack a little more punch! Plus, it usually comes with a blade that can grate cheese and handle more. I LOVE the Music Man. I have only seen the play version I think, and loved it! I haven't tried almond butter but it sounds So good! How fun to do a Christmas list in October!
I agree with all your wants :) and I do have a pair of the "bendy" flats. I like them but can't wear them all day. They start to cut into my heel. I thought it would only be until they were broken in but that was 4 years ago!
Summer, I am very much with you on October being the catalyst for thinking about all things Christmassy. I almost bought some Christmas ribbon the other day, but then remembered that it is still only October, and put it back on the shelf. I have neverheard of the Music Man, though seeing your love for it makes me think it's worth seeing!
This year I found the most comfy pair of flats ever (in England) - I think the secret to a good pair is a good sole on the bottom, and padded inside.
Ohhhh, She and Him. Always a favorite! Have you been watching her new show?
Oh thank goodness for this post. I thought I was the only one dreaming of Christmas! Glad to see that you, along with a bunch of readers, are on the same page!
I have been thinking my kitchen is in need of a food processor, but have been hesitating because of the expense. Have you found any relatively inexpensive ones with good reviews?
Thank you for your perfect timing once again :)
summer... i can't get the christmasy thoughts out of my head either! i adore the fall so i am trying my best not to wish it away, but christmas is just too happy of a time! now, onto your list: i have that food processor & highly recommend it; bendy flats have never worked for me. (i prefer flats with a good sole and slight arch).
looking forward to seeing what else you have in store for the season!

We have this exact Cuisinart food processor and LURVE it! Got a good deal on it last year when Rue La La had a Cuisinart shop.
Pretty much all I wear is ballet flats, and I prefer really soft ones. I have had hard soled leather flats, but I've found that its harder to avoid blisters in that type. I haven't had a problem with soft shoes cutting into my heels, but I never buy the ones with elastic in the back.
My most worn flats are:
Blue jellies I found at the grocery store for $4
Leather ballets from Lands End (a little stiffer but amazing quality for price if you buy on sale)
Berne Mev Nicole flats-- http://www.shoebuy.com/bernie-mev-nicole/228841# --which I did NOT pay $70 for!
Have you ever been to Rudolph's Shoes in Sioux Falls? They have an incredible clearance section.

i love my 'c'! i'm sure you would enjoy it bunches. (and then maybe show me even more stuff to do with it on here?) i make pizza, smoothies (sometimes, b/c i usually use an immersion blender) and shred cheese, and... slice veggies.
okay...so I just found this amazing website that is totally up your alley!
www.birchbox.com
you pay 10 bucks a month and get a box of beauty products tailored to your preference to try each month which arrives in a cute little box. THIS is totally on my Christmas list! Check it out! Tell us what you think! :)
I've been working on Christmassy stuff too even as I savor the autumnal glory. Food and kitchen gifts are the best. : )
Not too early at all! Also, I love She & Him!

i love this post, it's so like me! just bought the she and him Christmas album a couple days ago, been listening to it in the car and at work. people think i'm crazy!
john loves she & him. cant wait to hear the album. and i guzzled that brand of red raspberry leaf tea my last month of pregnancy. i'm convinced of it promoting post partum healing.
