My Self-indulgent Birthday List of Magnificent Things #1

Today, it is five weeks to my birthday. Yesterday I was asked for my birthday list. Inevitably, my actual list will probably contain a lot of practical items (a set of decent pots – my R300 set is going to the, ahem, pot – and perhaps some winter clothing). But, as a medium of self-expression and self-indulgence, this blog seems the ideal place for a little extravagance. For the next few weeks, I will be posting gifts that I would buy myself if I were my own over-achieving, gift-buying friend.

1. The A-1 Scrabble designer edition by Andrew Clifford Capener.

This set is not actually available (yet), but the idea is for it to be available in the font of your choice or with an assorted font pack. I am a terribly indecisive, non-committal person when it comes to consumer goods (and Saturday night plans), so I would prefer the assorted pack.

Isn’t it just beautiful?

A Crossword

I'm getting married on the 22nd of September this year, and our save the date went out today. Our guests will get the answers next week. I'm not sure if the thrill of sending this out was because it is a crossword (!!!) or if it's because sending it made my marriage-to-be even more real. Anyway, I'm pretty delighted.
