This list is by no means exhaustive, but it along with my profile should give my swap buddy a decent idea of my likes & dislikes.

HIGHLIGHTED items are my most wished for items, but I'll be happy & content with whatever you choose for me.

Please note I do not celebrate holidays, so no holiday items please. 

  
* ALLERGIC to lavender ~~~ EXTREMELY SENSITIVE to smoke.

* BAGS/PURSES/TOTES - OK FOR NOW ~ Unless it's a frog one (not tree frogs). I'm always up for frogs... or peacocks.

* BATH & BODY - OK FOR NOW ~ liquid or foaming hand soaps ONLY. I currently have enough body lotions & sprays. I like the clean cotton or linen type scents or most anything citrusy, especially lemon or orange. Nothing floral, spice or vanilla.

* BEVERAGES - I don't drink coffee & have plenty of tea varieties at the moment. 

* CANDY/FOOD - LOVE homemade or locally made (like Amish, etc.) butters/preserves... peach, cherry, etc. Honeyberry Farm's Pear Honey Jelly is a mouth-watering favorite that I can't get enough of. I can eat it by the spoonful straight from the jar! https://tinyurl.com/ybjmke2b   Also homemade or locally made salsas, chutneys, pickles, corn relishes, etc. but MILD items only, nothing hot or spicy. ~ Chocolate is always good but I'm not much on dark chocolate or nuts in my chocolate... peanut butter or nougat or caramel or other flavor creams are sometimes fine. Chocolate & orange is a favorite flavor combination. A good white chocolate makes me happy too. Pepperidge Farms Milano cookies in the orange flavor are one of my weaknesses. Please, nothing Pumpkin Spice... not a fan!

* CANDLES - I love'm but I used to sell Home Interiors & currently have enough candles to line a runway to land a plane! UNLESS, you come across a wonderful lemon scent or a salted caramel scent.

* CLOTHING/SCARVES/ETC. - I'm a big gal so clothes are generally out of the question, but gift cards to Sanctuarie, Woman Within, or Roamans are definitely welcomed.

* COLLECTIONS - I don’t currently have any collections.

* CRAFTS/HOBBIES - I am pretty much overrun with craft projects right now so am not in need of anything.

* FAVE COLORS - COLOR! I love all kinds of colors, but my faves are all shades of greens, purples & yellows. Not big on pastel colors & I dislike brown earthy colors.

* FAVE FLOWER - you've probably not heard of it but it's an Anthurium. Had them in my wedding bouquet 35 yrs. ago. Here's a link to what they look like... http://tinyurl.com/ycgsubv  You Sistas are gonna love this... I've learned that Anthuriums are also called FLAMINGO FLOWERS! Who knew?! I love to receive fresh flowers just not carnations or red roses... other colors of roses are nice, especially the 2-tone ones, but for some reason I have an aversion to red ones.

* GARDENING/OUTDOORS - I like things that come back year after year... bulbs & perennials... tulips, hyacinths, daffodils, etc. We don't feed the birds, my neighbor does that. Not into yard art/knick-knacks.

* GIFT CARDS - Olive Garden, Panera Bread, Penn Station, Cracker Barrel, eBay, Sanctuarie, Roamans/Woman Within, Amazon.

* HOME DECOR - My bedroom is sorta Victorian/shabby chic with shades of purple/lavenders, soft greens & rose. My living room is more of a traditional vintage decor in deep colors of burgundy, deep sage, navy & gold. My kitchen WILL FOREVER be a work in progress... I have transitioned from cow decor to something less country & more classic in soft greens... my inspiration is the 50 year old set of my mom's wedding dishes from 1961. They are a beautiful olive green glass and I am pairing them with a lovely china that has pale green & yellow flowers. Here's a link to what the wedding dishes look like... http://tinyurl.com/oefqq7c  ~ I would like to have a dual-sided hanging clock for my kitchen, similar to this.. http://tinyurl.com/lepv69a  (it does NOT have to be this exact one but something similar in ivory & with scrollwork). My bath is currently sunflowers, hunter green & yellows with the occasional frog scattered throughout, but I’m hoping to get it remodeled to make it the shower handicap accessible sometime within the next 6 months or so... or in this lifetime . The new decor will depend a lot on what type of tile I can find cheaply for this much needed & long overdue remodel. My office has a couple of ocean scenes, denim curtains, some whitewashed picture frames & a small collection of those kitchsy coconut heads that people bring back from island vacations.

* JEWELRY - I don't wear much, but do like short dangle pierced earrings & beaded bracelets (anklet size, 8.5”- 9" size, I have a large wrist & I like them loose). Prefer silver rather than gold, but I'm really okay with either. I still have several of the Italian charm bracelets with watches that I like to wear & there are a couple of charms I'd like to have.  Medical Alert (need 1 or 2) ~ https://tinyurl.com/y9jega2t  

* MAKE-UP ~ Nope, don’t wear it.

* MISC. ~ I like fun, quirky items... animal prints, feathers (especially peacock), sparkly/glittery/bejeweled items. See my 'About Me' page... the Jolly Green Giant, the stuffed gorilla, Sparoe, etc. I have a weird sense of humor. 

* MOVIES/TV - I'd like a DVD of the Long, Long Trailer with Lucy & Desi in it. I also would like any seasons of 9-1-1 or 9-1-1 Lonestar on DVD. 

* MUSIC - I generally just listen to the radio. HOWEVER, I have become enamored with the AGT Finalist Drake Milligan & bought an actual CD for the first time in years! The judges called him the country Elvis! Go check him out on YouTube! I've been to a couple of his shows & met him at one. He's a terrific performer & a down-to-earth guy. He's backed by a fantastic band too.

* PETS - No pets currently ~ RIP Chewy 9/28/23

* SPORTS - Nope, not even interested.

* STATIONARY - I love cute or beautiful writing paper (prefer lined) & funky, cutesy pens. Could use some Sharpie black markers. Can ALWAYS use the wide clear packaging tape.

* PLEASE, NO paranormal, vampire, witchy type stuff - just not my thing. Also NO religious or holiday items. I do not celebrate the holidays.

* I LOVE all things LITTLE HOUSE ON THE PRAIRIE & have a nice collection of most of the basics, but there are some LH books on my wishlist.

There may be things on my lists where the links to purchase have expired, but if it's still on THIS Sista list then it's still something I'd like to have. I'm not picky that items come from a specific place so if you find one of my wishes at a better deal somewhere else then by all means get the better deal... I too love a bargain. I also do not mind second-hand items as long as they are in good shape & come from a smoke free home.
