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 very little additives and processed stuff.
Feel free to mention to Allan if you get something and he can delete if needed.
Photography
My main camera is a Sony an A6400.
- Body Repair ($30 to send in for quote and then cost to fix.)
- Macro lens to fit Sony a6400. 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)
Household Wants
- Heavy duty Kitchen knife set with holders
- Heavy duty matching steak knives (set of 8) Not sure benefits of smooth vs sawtooth 🙂
- Angel food pan, two pieces. Not a non stick pan. High Quality
- 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 okay if in great working order.
- Some options; Deluxe Grain
- Victoria Manual
- Kitchen Aid Attachment
- Fiesta ware (Would like to have a set of 20 pieces)- Assorted colors (I really like the deeper colors like twilight, mulberry with lemon grass as accent), not fussy about the white or sunflower). In order of importance:
- 9 inch (luncheon) plates (I have 6 right now)
- 7.25-in. bistro salad plate
- small bowls
- Popcorn size?
- Cereal?
- Assorted Bistro bowls for serving (L and XL)
- Oval Platters for serving (have none)
- 22-oz. bistro bowl
- 15 oz tapered mugs- really like Foundry color (No space for 20!)
- tea cups with matching saucers
-
- No silverware, knifes, pitchers, or towels please)
- Sonoma Goods For Life Quick-Dry Bath Rug, Taupe, 24×38 (know Kohls has it)
-
Just for Me
- More with Less Cookbook, 40th Edition, Doris Janzen Longacre & Rachel Marie Stone
- Isle Royal Greenstone Ring (Pumpellyite, “chlorastrolite”, looks like green stars or a turtles back). Would like a small, oval (just a little more oval than round “turtle shape”) Size 9 simple band 2mm thick. Sterling silver or gold.
- 100% beeswax candles, unscented, with cotton wicks
Favorite Snacks
- Raw Macadamia Nuts (organic is a plus)
- Raw Organic Hazelnuts (Filberts) without salt
- Organic dark chocolate up to 80ish%. The fewer ingredients, the better.
- Theo Dark Chocolate
- Scharffenberger chocolate (Dark up to 70% or milk chocolate) There used to be individually wrapped ones that were the perfect size.
- Ferrero Rocher Hazelnut Chocolates
- Lindor dark chocolate or milk chocolate truffles
- Andrea’s homemade is MUCH better than store bought.
Flowers (Bulbs are wonderful!)
- Hepatica, also called liverwort, (purples, blues, pinks, white).
- Glory of the snow (I like the ones with color and white best, but any)
- Snowdrops
- Columbine (purples, oranges, pinks etc)
Gift Certificates to share
- Meijers, Krogers, or Walmarts
- Wings Etc (the BEST wings place)
