Tessie's Xmas list

#1 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.

1. Coffeemaker - 12 cups, one that will not continue pouring from the spout if you remove the pot, and one that will automatically turn off after a period of time.

2. Someone to make my apartment look like I didn't just move in.

3. 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!

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

5. A copy of "The Great Divorce" by CS Lewis. I prefer old and used.

6. A nifty business card holder/case. Actually, two. One to hold my own cards, and one for the ones I collect from other people.

7. A nice battery-powered screwdriver/drill. Heavy duty, not the little household ones.

8. 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.


9. An entryway mat to put next to the front door.

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

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. Here is a list of the series: http://www.ameliapeabody.com/bookshelf.htm

- Jasper Fforde books - any of the Thursday Next series EXCEPT "First Among Sequels" (there are 5 books that I DON'T have in this series - listed here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jasper_Fforde). Another book by this author that's from a new series that I'd like to have is called _Shades of Grey_.

- Robert Jordan Wheel of Time books. I have books 1-6, 8, 11 and a novella called “New Spring”; I need books 7, 9, 10, 12, 13, and 14. (But book 14 hasn’t been published yet so it’ll probably be pretty hard to find. ☺) See all titles here: http://www.dragonmount.com/Books/index.php

- 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.)
