Tessie's Xmas list 2012

My list is almost the same as last year!

#1 A nice, professional, fitted pantsuit. I really need this, as I'll likely be going on one of the Business study abroad programs, and everyone is required to dress very professionally because they have a lot of business meetings with executives.

#2 Warmer clothes in sizes that fit me, especially nice tops - shirts are now small or medium, pants around size 8, but could be 6 or 10 depending upon brand.

#3 Oversized/stuffed chair and matching ottoman. I like the ones you sink into and hard to get out of, but are comfy. The ottoman is such that it looks like the chair itself has just been extended out a ways. Good colors are browns, greens, golds, dark reds.

#4 Storage ottoman. I really need the storage, and something else to sit on would be great. As big as possible. I was watching Craigslist and Ebay for this for quite a while, but didn't find anything cheap enough for me. Colors that would be good are browns, golds, greens, dark reds. If you happen to find a set of a chair and storage ottoman, so it looks like one giant comfy chair, that would be good too.

#5 My AmeriCorps quilt - I can tell you right now it will be about $150 to get it quilted, so any money towards that would be awesome. Or if you know how to quilt, I'll give you the quilt top and you could do it! And teach me how, too!

#6 A good vacuum

#7 A cute entryway table, either to go next to the front door or under the mirror in the entryway. One with a drawer or drawers would be good. (See photo) The space under the mirror is 38" wide and 36" high.

#8 An entryway mat to put next to the front door.

#9 New bed pillows, extra firm. Mine are probably 20 years old and I shudder to think what some of the stains on them are.

PS if anyone else needs my address again, it's 3725 G Busbee Pky NW Apt 1019 Kennesaw, GA 30144.

Carrie's Christmas list


  • Blu-Rays/DVDs: The Chronicles of Narnia 2 & 3; Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix; Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, parts 1 & 2 (I like used Blu-Rays and DVDs so long as they don’t have scratches on them); The Hunger Games
  • Gift card to Half Price Books
  • Gift card to World Market
  • German bearded re-blooming irises (Blue, white,purple, and/or yellow) (SERIOUSLY people. I have had this on my list for, what, 10 years now?) (Iris on our entry table is pretty and all, and she's a permanent resident of the house, but I'd like to have some that I could put outside.)
  • Piano sheet music for the album Porcelain by Helen Jane Long 
  • a bat rack no longer than 2'
There are a number of book series that I’m collecting that I need additional books for. I LOVE USED BOOKS. In fact, I like them better than new ‘cause then they’re all comfy and broken in. Soft cover, hard cover – I don’t care. So here are the book collections I’m looking to fill in:

  • Vicky Bliss books by Elizabeth Peters. I have the first three and the 5th and 6th; I still need the 4th one: Trojan Gold
  • Amelia Peabody books by Elizabeth Peters. There are about 6 jillion of them. Here are the ones I HAVE; I would like to have any that is NOT on this list: The Crocodile on the Sandbank; The Mummy Case; Lord of the Silent; The Last Camel Died at Noon; The Golden One; The Falcon at the Portal; The Ape Who Guards the Balance; The Serpent on the Crown; Lion in the Valley; Children of the Storm; He Shall Thunder in the Sky; Tomb of the Golden Bird. 
  • Jasper Fforde books - any of the Thursday Next series EXCEPT "First Among Sequels" (there are 6 books that I DON'T have in this series - listed here). Another book by this author that's from a new series that I'd like to have is called _Shades of Grey_.
  • The Princess Diaries Volume VI and a Half: The Princess Present. (Unless somebody borrowed it from me. I could have sworn I had this one.) 
  • DRAGON'S HEART BY JANE YOLEN. (I have the first 3 books in this series).
