What's on my wish list

I fancy myself a creative, do-it-myself person with a passion for structure and clean lines.
Here's what I have on my wish list to capture all the parts of me:


For the get-out-and-explore side:
White Moustache Food Tours (Seattle, Portland, Vancouver BC)
 Little Show of Horrors theatre show
A night out at the ballet to see Sleeping Beauty



For the hands on side:
Flour sack towels to practice my fabric stamp printing on
The Kreg Rip-cut tool for smooth, even lines when cutting
A Step-by-Step Guide to Upholstery Guide so I can finally conquer all the furniture!



For the "loves to shop small-business" side:
White planter pot with hanger $42
Anything black bears, like this print $12
Unique, cute printed cloth napkins $43
a bold, new necklace
Or a print of one of my favorite cities (I already have seattle and pittsburgh!)

For the practical, meal-planner side:
an everything mac + cheese cookbook
or an easy breakfast for dinner guide

Williams-Sonoma Goldtouch Nonstick 3-Piece Cookie Bakeware Set





For the needs-pampered side:
Gift cards for SpaFinder, Coffee Shop, or my favorite hair place!

Pantone - color of the year

Thank goodness they've picked something a little more flattering than the bright orange two years ago and 2013 emerald is cool, but kinda boring, amiright?!!



Color of the year: Radiant Orchid

I could really appreciate a few shirts in this color... a hue that goes well with brunettes and blondes alike; also very nicely pairs with all skin tones.

Unfortunately my house is evolving into the blue, green, grey color scheme - so I don't see much use of radiant orchid as a rug or throw. 

How are you going to use Pantone's new color of the year in 2014?

Pinterest is already jumping onboard, and it's delicious!
