  1. Smooth handthrown handleless coffee mug that fits my hand perfectly.

    I love the cactus photo. I can't think of the name, I have a photo of one somewhere too.

  6. Gemma,

    I have $40.00 left on my mall gift card (went to lunch on the other $10.00). You have listed some great things I could treat myself to. Never tried chai - that would be good. And of course a scented candle, a good book or a CD of classical music would be wonderful. To your list I must add cashmere socks.

    Our local color right now is white, white and more white.

  7. I'll add whipping cream to the list, to go with hot cocoa. And a walk in the woods. Fresh cut flowers. A movie ticket for one. A lavender sachet for the top drawer. Oh, and seeds... although I tend to get carried away and order more than $20 worth. ;)

    Beautiful list, gemma!

    Of course, I find too many of these little luxuries...and they add up! LOL!
