...Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things"

I love that song with my whole heart. For some inexplicable reason, it always reminds me of Christmas and whenever Christmas decorations come out in the store (in August) it gets stuck in my head on a consistent basis. I've been doing nothing this week but running errands, which doesn't leave much in the room of purposeful content but thankfully "inspiration" can come from anywhere, and today, tonight, it comes from my favorite things. I spent about a half hour this morning taking pictures of my favorite things around the apartment, and pulled a couple of pictures off my computer that I already had- I realized that in trying to make my Christmas list, I have so many things in our apartment I absolutely already LOVE. There are, of course, always fun objects to have and there are a couple of things I'll share later that I want if I'm judged as having been "nice" this year, but for now, these are my favorite things...
Bought these at the flea market. I love them because it looks like there's little hands on the end of each one and they look so cool all stacked up- I have no idea if they're actually bracelets or not cause they were with a bunch of industrial spare parts, but that's what I use them for.
White porcelain horse trophies. I kept thinking they were just spray painted white, but they're too heavy. They normally sit on top of the bookcase but I brought them down to photograph them.
Number pillows! They have the dictionary definition on the back. A gift from my Mom from pottery barn. We have 1-4.
Indestructible. I drink alot of water, and I don't like glasses because they spill all over the sofa so this is my solution. I rarely drink out of anything but this. From Dick's Sporting Goods, but it was on clearance so I don't know if they make them anymore.
The first pair of earrings, the gold ones, are my Mom's. I stole them a long time ago and they're pretty much my most favorite gold pair. They're awesome. The second pair (cowboy boots) are just awesome; also, I have a thing for anything cowboy related, as you'll see in a minute.
I like tea...and this is a bigger mug than the ones we have from Crate and Barrel, so I bought it. Also, it has a K. For my name! Bonus points if you know what my name actually is. No, you don't have to tell me- I already know it.
Ceramic hedgehog. His name is Constantine. I have another hedgehog named Napoleon, but he's not really my favorite.
My cowboy book collection. Yes, I have a cowboy book collection and no, I don't care if that makes me incredibly dorky. There are still many out there that I want but this is what I have for now. Like I said, I like cowboy culture. R even threw me a cowboy themed bridal shower, complete with hats and bandannas! I honestly think my dream job would be to be a reporter for the PBR, Inc.
So yeah, thanks for letting me ramble about my favorite things. I realize that I'm jumping between being ultra serious and completely inane, sorry about that! I'm going to be doing some projects around the apartment so you'll get to see those this week! That will be fun and messy...
When the dog bites
When the bee stings
When I'm feeling sad
I simply remember my favorite things
And then I don't feel so bad

I want number pillows! I also get bonus points for knowing your name. :D
I love your number pillows and I also want to sleep on them with that throw. When I come to CT/move to the northeast (yeah... who knows when that will happen, but i'm sure it will), I am so doing it.
I've said it before, I'll say it again. LOVE your photography!
I am in love with the horse statues! Where did you get them?!
