Fneh. Most things I really want are either intangible or already had, y'know? So this is random off-the-top-of-the-head listing.
- Half-fingered gloves
- a leatherbound copy of either The Jungle Books or Kim
- overshirts, in either plain or extravagent
- I kinda want a cardigan, but finding one that'd look good on me might take some doing
- water or fire opal earrings
- folding screen sized for a window
- reference books on a plethora of subjects (if you can find a book on the mythology of near-Russia China, or that whole area of the world, I will be one, awed, and two, poofed for some time reading)
- soup bowls in interesting colours and shapes (preference for relatively deep, as opposed to wide and shallow)
- music, as always
- henna
- russian birchbark carvings or those elaborate lacquerwork not-quite-dishes
- haida ravens

Whistler very sincerely says he wants 'Peace on Earth and good will toward men'. The government agent? is Nonplused.)
