Here we are ...and a wish list

So we are here in England, and I've realized there are a few things I would like from the states - so IF and I truly do mean IF you come across any of these items while you are visiting sales and such they would be greatly appreciated. Please don't run out and just buy them, because I never do that lol - in short these are things I can only get stateside, and should be around thrift sales and the like.

Childrens Books: A Magical Day with Matise; In the Garden with Van Gogh; A Picnic with Monet; Dancing with Degas; Sharing with Renoir - this is a series of books that introduces are and poetry - I have one, Zaylee loves it, and would like the rest. I got the first one for like $3 at a sale somewhere.

Ok this one is a little hard to explain...but here goes. So the baby gowns, there are ones that button down, and then there are ones that button down but have the option of buttoning into a little pajama jumpsuit as well as a gown. I have one of these and I adore the every loving crud out of it because it makes keeping Zaylee's legs warm and nightime pottying a flipping breeze. This is the one item I've been having a hard time finding even stateside. 6 months and up.

England is beautiful, I love it so much, and have no desire to live stateside anytime soon in ever. I would live here forever if we could. Since that's not going to happen there has been talk of volunteering to be stationed in Korea - that might be fun :) Who knows - for the moment I'm going to enjoy where we are. Our house is lovely, the town is great, church is fun, people are friendly - and if anyone comes to visit there is a cute b&b down the block...(b&b is like all they have here).

Oh and I just bought a sewing machine for 15 pounds...it's a singer...an antique, and Brian will have to go pick it up (yaye ebay). I'm quite excited because my sewing machine is stateside...and it may not even work here anyway and sewing machines are expensive. So an old rusty iron maiden singer will do fine, at least I know the thing will sew through anything...including fingers, it will make my stiches more precise.
