When you wish upon a.....catalog

It seems like every day I receive a catalog of some sort in my mailbox. I like to flip thru them knowing full well that I'm not going to buy anything. It's fun to have a "wish list" though isn't it?

I also google things so much that my "wish list" is growing! Here are a few things that I've seen lately in catalogs, flyers or online that I really like.........


Who doesn't like cupcakes? How about a giant cupcake?! This large cupcake pan would be soooo fun! I would love to decorate one for a birthday. It would even be fun to make one for a church potluck.

Speaking of cupcakes.....

This pan would be fun too. I haven't made cupcakes in an ice cream cone in a long time. Making those are fun, but these ice cream cone cupcakes are so darn cute aren't they?


And how about this cake pan?

Cute!

My niece bought a

 shaped bundt pan to make her son's birthday cake this weekend. I bet that one would be fun to decorate too.

What a cute....

Spring has finally arrived here, so now I'm gravitating towards my outdoor decor. I wish I could afford one of these Teak Lutyen Benches from Sam's Club for my front porch. It's sooo pretty. I love the arch look.
Instead of buying the bench, I'll have to settle for spray painting a wicker chair that I have for my front porch. It's currently a natural color and I'd like it to be a sage green.

Speaking of spring...
I just received my order of....

.... and....

 I've seen plenty of hibiscus plants, but when I was in Nauvoo, I saw the plate sized ones and knew that someday I wanted them in my yard. I'm just a novice at flowers, but I'm getting better as each year goes by. I just hope that I can get them to thrive. I don't usually do mail-order plants, but for the price, I thought I'd try it. The hydrangea trees are coming in a variety of colors. I have 2 hydrangea bushes that seem to do well each year, so I'll try my luck at the trees and hope for the best.

Back indoors now....
I saw this sweet little chair and ottoman at the Target website....

Ava would love it.

There is also a cute little arm chair on sale in the current Target flyer. I saw this chair (below pic) at the store today ($59.00, and it's also the same price online) and it's just the sweetest! It's much prettier in person. I wish I could get it for Ava's 1st birthday. Maybe she will still like it when I can actually afford it.


I'm thinking of ditching our wobbly coffee table (I'm sick of retightening the screws) and replacing it with something like this....


It would be a softer and safer option for Ava. If I could afford it that is! Remember, this is just a "wish list". It's actually not too expensive from Furniture Central
I'm thinking it might be too small though. I'd want a bigger one in a darker beige perhaps.

Ok, I'm done wishing for today. I'm sure tomorrow I will get another catalog in the mail and I'll have more wishes to dream about. *sigh*
