I love Christmas, crass commercialism and all because I get to make up a whimsical wish list like this. Friends and relatives who are reading, these are the things I want for Christmas. See how considerate I am giving you ample time and providing the links so that you will know where to purchase them.
The Pier Cherry Blossom Tableware. I am sure you are all sick and tired of my blue on white tableware. These pretty in pink Japanese porcelain will make a nice change and complement my rosewood dinning table.
La Fiorentina Cashmere Gloves with Mink Pom Poms from Neiman Marcus in all 6 colours. What can I say, I love cashmere and I love pom poms. Yes I do need 6 pairs of gloves, you all know how anal I get about mismatch colours when it comes to clothes.
Chloe clutch from Pilgrim Designs. A girl can never have too many bags. So what if I already have a couple of bags from Pilgrim, I don't have this one.
Le Creuset Moroccan Tagine in Red. Think of all the delicious seafood and meat tagine dishes I can make. If I have this tagine, you guys will benefit too.
Well, I am sure you all love my cute dog and wants the best for him too. This ergonomically designed bristle brush from Les Poochs will do wonders for his fur.
What I really want though is a big, black iron wok. I have not been able to find it in the shops. Anyone knows where I can buy an iron kuali in Singapore, please let me know. Oh, if you want to buy me those other stuff, that will be very nice too. ![]()
Ahhhhh.. my wishlist is simplier.. :)
To find good and reliable employees.. who don't go psycho on us.. during christmas season.. hehehe !
HOpe you get everything on yer wish list.. :)
Cheers..!

I GOT my Le Creuset Cherry red TODAY!!!(Its darker at the bottom and lightens to the color on ur wish list) Made chicken tagine and couscous.. You'll love it..its excellent!!!!! Only thing you have to remember is: it needs a very very low heat ( I had to turn mine to even before Mark 1 on my electric stove. The liquid doesnt evaporate nor does the food stick to the pan. Food is very tender but doesnt turn to mush. You're not suppose to open the lid during cooking but I peeped a few times..hehehe
I'm sure Santa heard you.. :)

Hi, you can get a good anodised iron wok from Tangs Basement! I got mine there! Brand name is "Tiger".

saw the Cherry Blossom Tableware (before I read this) today..was thinking of getting them ..(as I'm going thru the pink phase now...)..but on second thought, maybe should wait for the Boxing Day Sale...

Thanks Tweety. I hope you get good employees so that you and your family can have a peaceful Christmas.
Hi keona, I am so envious! I hope Santa hears me, if not I will just let Masters or Visa get me the tagine :)
Hi spots, thanks for the tip. I will pop down to Tangs and see if it is what I want.
Mik, I am permanently in the pink phase. Heee
There is The Pier in Melbourne? Where where?

I made Hawaiian Salmon laulau in my tagine.... lesson learned.:. No more than 2 cups of liquid and whatever you do,don't peek. By lifting the lid, you'd break the water seal and the juice from inside is forced out. :(
Just thought I'd better warn you when you get yours from Santa.

Hi ST,
not sure whether there is any 'The Pier' in Melbourne, but I saw the stuff in a shop called 'Such and Such' in Ballarat (an hour drive from Melbourne city). That shop sells lots n lots of beautiful stuff and has a cafe that sells gorgeous food..whenever I'm there, I feel like a child in a candy stores.. :)

Hi stef, I hope so too :)
Thanks for the tip, keona. I am a incorrigble peeker when I cook too.
Wow, Mik, "Such and Such" sounds like a wonderful place. You are so lucky.
