Birthday Wish List

I want one of these classic Moonbeam Clocks from L.L. Bean. It starts waking you with a flashing light ... I imagine that's so much nicer than the nails-on-a-chalkboard screech of my alarm clock. Railroad engineers used to use these while they were riding the rails, because the sound from a conventional alarm wouldn't wake them up. I love it in yellow, it looks so sweet and old-fashioned.

Birthday Wish List

If there are two things that get me all hot and bothered, they're money and organization. Too bad I have very little of either. But! A midcentury-reproduction piggy bank would get me well on my way. I'd put this on a shelf by the front door to collect all the loose change that seems to appear on any horizontal surface in the house.

From now until my birthday on May 23, I'll be posting things I'd like to own. Hey, it can't hurt to ask! So go ahead, ask me for my shipping address.
