List Friday - Splendid Necessities for Travel
February 24, 2006
You all read my list at the beginning of the week and it was pretty cumbersome. I've winnowed it down somewhat. Here is my fantasy list of those things I would have to take with me on my voyage out - to where? Doesn't matter, the voyage is the thing. And these are the things that I must have on any trip:
- digital camera
- laptop
- skeins of crimson chenille yarn and bamboo needles to knit a wrap to wrap around me at night.
- Bella Il Fiore Whipped Body Creme in Honeysuckle Grapefruit (you could eat it or wear it,,,)
- five Pilot Ultra-Fine No Xylene black fine point permanent pens
- Aleve
- My silver bracelet that locks in place with two silver balls that I've worn for twenty years & my pendant from Nina of the vintage binoculars
- Italian journal my sister Maria made for me with Fabriano Artistico paper
- Almond soap from Italy from my sister Marietta
- Venetian Green glass orb flecked with gold from Rae to hang on the rear view mirror and bathe the car in watery light
- tackle box for collecting - bark, stones, vials of sand, feathers, or egg shells
- Ipod if I owned one or CDs that my kids burn for me of mixes I'd like
- votive candles in pretty glass jars and tiny boxes of wooden matches
- a silk camisole for hot nights
- the teal chenille throw for cuddling
- my favorite pillow - "Longie"
- Junior Mints
- red clogs, denim jacket, swirly skirt, and a straw hat
- a satchel holding torn down pastel papers, journal cards, rubber stamps watercolor postcards, travel watercolor kit, beeswax, and postage
- Mr. Pomegranate
