All I Want for Christmas...


is something from my Etsy favourite's file.

It's getting too large and needs to be culled...aka emptied into my house.

These are the 10 that are tops on my list...please god, let someone with buying potential pour moi (parents, husband) see this.

HERMÈS Chasses Exotiques by Philippe Ledoux Vintage Silk Scarf 1980

Sweet Jesus...you know I NEED this vintage Hermes scarf framed and in my hallway...like I must, must, must own...PS...a big thanks to Jenny for posting about her vintage scarf finds here...I would never have found this had I not stumbled upon her post and it is absolutely my number one want item...so none of  you are allowed to by it OK? Please?
And Mom....I know you read my blog...have I told you howsimple to buy on Etsy?
Just click 'add to cart', fill in your credit card info and voila, it will arrive at your door without you even having to leave the house.
I'm such a great daughter...I really LOVE that scarf!! xo


I also pretty much have to own these candlesticks...I've been looking a pair with porcelain flowers ever since I saw some being snapped up on some British HGTV antique show...which by the way, I loved...if anyone knows the one I'm talking about, has it been cancelled?
In any event, I adore these.

Next up, this amazing painting from artist Katie Yates...

Dior Fashion Ad Original Oil Painting

the listing includes the frame and well, the whole thing is just good...real good!!

And speaking of delightful things, get a load of these silk velvet pillows...

they actually appear both gold and silver...

I'm also loving this cute little lighter and ashtray...so Hollywood glamalicious....

And of course, any list of mine must have some pink...

Mid Century MODERN Pink BAROVIER and TOSO Cased Murano Glass Vase

This vase is just too pretty for words...

As are these Mercury Glass beauties...

And what would a want list of mine be without a little whimsy?

You all know my house would be waaaay cooler with this large ceramic zebra...
He's just pure perfection in my books.
I actually cheated a little here...the zebra isn't technically on Etsy...I found this beauty on the new
 High Street Market online store...the sister shop to the one that is on Etsy...so I'm not totally falling of the theme wagon of the day;)
PS...you have to check out the new shop if you haven't already...SO much loveliness. 

Next up, a little more animalia.

I've spoken of my love for these Staffordshire pups before and these are a perfect pair...

Pair STAFFORDSHIRE SPANIELS

They still have all the gold detailing and are just the right size for what I'm looking for.

And finally, I'd love a few things to finish off my kitchen.

These salt and pepper shakers are divine...

Salt and Pepper Shakers Fine China

As are these hand woven Turkish towels...so much prettier hanging from the stove than the crapola tea towels I have now...

High Quality- Set of 2- Hand Woven Turkish Cotton Hand Towel,Hair Towel or Unisex Neck Warmer-White Stripes on Pale Baby Pink

So there  you have it...my Etsy want list for Christmas 2011.

The compilation definitely runs the high low gamut...from $12 for the salt and pepper shakers to a whopping $775 for those Mercury vases...most items sit happily in the middle around $200-$300.

As always, I encourage you my dear readers to shop Etsy fabulous this Christmas...there's just so much beauty to be had and from my experience (which has been large;) Etsy sellers are simply the most amazing vendors to deal with ever...love them to the hills.

Happy shopping!
