On a list of my top ten favourite things books would have to come out number one.
I’ve been a big reader since … well forever.
Books are an escape. A doorway into another world.
What else would make my top ten favourite things list? Well if we discount people (’cause you know some days …) and just limit it to things, then here’s what I’ve got on my list.
1. Books.
2. Magazines.
3. Movies.
4. Fresh flowers.
5. Stationery (is that weird? I love a good stationery shop. Pretty papers. Gorgeous diaries).
6. Chocolate.
7. Beautiful art.
8. Interesting photographs.
9. Well formed crockery, I seriously love big white platters, and Vera Wang’s cups and bowls are to-die-for!
10. Blogs – a unique form of communication, connecting the world!
Not a particularly unique list, but these are the things that make me smile, feel good and keep me thinking!
What are some of your favourite things?
Books would be at the top of my list, too. Earlier this year, my husband, daughter and I house-sat for people who turned out to own a publishing company. Books. Everywhere. I didn’t want to leave!
That sounds like absolute heaven!!
ditto your list, including the stationery, but without the crockery. books are also educational! and they build your vocabulary, background knowledge, and reading comprehension. all good things. magazines do the same, but you have to be picky. joy to you, janine. i hope you get to enjoy some favorite things today!
Ooh – I think there might be a blog post response in order here. I like this. I’ll keep you posted. Although, I have a feeling your list is going to be way classier than mine.
Can’t wait to read it.
