Wishes
I've also been busy scanning your wishlists, trying to find one or two of those items that it's in my power to grant. Hm. Sign up for a card, if nothing else; I'm not stingy with them. You may also find that I can be persuaded to make another Snapetease set this holiday, but then again, you may wish me not to do so. Also also, if I've promised to make an icon for you, give me a poke. I've probably forgotten.
(Let's face it. Posting this on Black Friday would have been the most gauche thing ever. Even if it isn't a very consumerist wish list.)

Items That I Would Probably Like For [Generic Winter Holiday] (or You Just Might Want To Procure My Friendship & Unswerving Adoration)
- Old, slightly rusty pen nibs that have been hiding in a cupboard somewhere.
- Interesting bits of paper and/or ephemera. Peculiar rubber stamps, unusual pens, small bottles of ink, et cetera a bonus.
- Old (empty) glass pharmacy phials, or other small, interesting containers, dishes, turreens, and suchlike
- Tassels of varying degrees of elaborateness (preferably matched pairs; I have lofty plans for such things)
- The pleasure of your company, or failing that, your handwriting.
- One of Aunty Deluvian's famed tea cozies ::cough cough hint::
- Polaroid SX70 (Time Zero) film, or any other Polaroid film that is 3.5" x 4.2" and can be inserted into an antiquated land camera with a bit of jiggery-pokery.
- Foreign sweets, with particular attention to Italian chocolates, black currant flavored pastiles, or almondish things. But anything, really.
- A paid account, perhaps? I always feel weird about asking for this, since my poll abuse and icon indulgences have always been a gift from someone else. Er. I promise not to abuse my poll priviledges this time, I swear. Girl Scouts' honor.
- And when all else fails, there is always the Amazon Wishlist of Doom.
Things That I Will Look At With Longing, But Do Not Actually Expect Anyone To Get For Me Because I Have Some Scope Of Reality
- A competent government, or at least one that does not make me hang my head in shame every five minutes
- Small, intricate mathematical sculptures
- furniture as a sexual metaphor The prettiest couch, ever. Yes, still.
