Birthday Wish List

My birthday is next week, so I decided to list a few things that I've been dreaming of.  I usually give my husband a list of things that I want/like/need and make a huge deal out of my birthday/Christmas/our anniversary.  I start talking about special occasions about a month in advance.  

I've never understood women who get upset when their husband/significant other forgets an important event.  If it's that important to you, you should make a HUGE deal out of it!

 I'm really obsessed (and really want) a thin, small necklace.  I want it to sit right on my collar bone.  I've been obsessed with it since watching Audrey Tautou's Priceless.  (My obsession with Audrey Tautou will be a separate post)

Crown necklace from Roberto Coin.

Necklace from Maya Brenner - I really wish the initial necklace came in silver.

If anyone knows where to get a simple little necklace for under $100 please let me know.  I've tried searching etsy but I can't find anything that I like. 

Also on my wish list - a sewing table

and a long arm quilting machine would really help me make some quilts

Actually, I'd really like my sewing/laundry room fixed up - table, cabinets installed - maybe something like this.

My real life wish list that I mentioned to my husband includes a new iron, ironing board and new embroidery scissors.  No gifts to open this year though - we cashed in our frequent flyer miles and are going visit my sister in DC. 

Oh yeah and I really want a pineapple doberge cake - just a slice (hint, hint, karen)
