Joyce’s Wish List (not all practical, but isn’t that what “wish lists” are about?)
- I prefer “homemade” with organic ingredients in lotions unless I have a certain one listed.
- I prefer “spicy” to sweet scents 🙂
- Prefer no or very little additives and processed stuff.
Photography
My main camera is a Sony an A6700.
- Macro lens to fit Sony a6700. Would love to be able to take “life size” pictures. Preferably one that the lens does not move, but focuses inside the lens. 1:1 (Sony SEL30M35 30mm f/3.5 e-mount Macro Fixed Lens??)
- Wide angle lens like Sigma 16mm f/1.4 (Try B&H and Amazon for prices)
- Repair for Sony A6400 ($30 to send in for quote and then cost to fix.) No idea cost or if worth it.
Household Wants
- 7 Quart Crock Pot (any high quality brand), removable stoneware, with knob–no electric panel Purple, Red or Charcoal.
- Fiesta ware Assorted colors. No White please.
- Fiesta Salad plate (7 1/4-in. diameter) lemon grass, poppy, or other bright colors (need 4)
- Fiesta Classic Rim Luncheon Plates (9 inch diameter) Daffodil, Turquoise, or other bright colors (Need 2)
- Serving dishes or casseroles if found at sales extremely cheap
- Classic Rim 5 7/8 Inch Saucers to coordinate with tea cups that I have; a rusty red (cinnabar? Scarlett?) and burned leaf brown (paprika?). No oranges or blues please.

- High quality, high rating grain mill. Hand cranked is fine. Have not researched but would need to be able to easily grind 8 cups at a time. Second hand is GREAT if works very well. Honestly not sure if would use often. Some options; Deluxe Grain

- Andrea’s homemade is MUCH better than store bought.
