the art of a reasonable registry
There is no good reason for me to love this as much as I do:
And yet…
It’s a vintage heater AND a vintage air conditioner. But worse, it’s what my wedding registry seems to think that wants the most. This is instead of a set of desperately needed guest towels for the bathroom, or enough spare bowls that soup is an option for dinner parties larger than three.
To be clear, I have no qualms about my registry’s departure from crate and barrel (case and unadvisable point). I just feel bad adding things that aren’t wholesome and homemaker-y. Full disclosure: I don’t NEED a heater/air conditioner combo. What I NEED is something shiny, plastic-y and orange. With rainbow buttons.
Before you ask, yes, I’d just buy it and put myself out of my misery, but I may have already bought this thermos tonight:
For I am an unbelievable sucker for metal that looks like wood. There was no way the registry was going to focus on whisks and stuff while that was still up for grabs.
<<Two treasures in one evening from what I’m pretty sure is new favorite etsy shop. They also have a pretty awesome website here. Clearly it’s time for me to try to be friends with them.>>
<<Snipe stuff from my registry and I’ll know it was you.>>
that is a completely reasonable request for a registry, it warms and cools, so useful! I am with you on the towels and bowls, it would be very very nice to have a matching set beyond 3. That is my idea of luxury, 8 matching bowls and 8 matching towels. My fiance though it was weird I was so excited about that, but I am officially over my cobbled together home wares.
Wood-grained thermos!! gaah
I think you need that orange heater, too. Just stick it on the registry and someone who also recognizes its awesomeness can get it for you. And then you can get your own guest towels, thus 1. feeling responsible and mature and 2. GETTING THE AWESOME ORANGE GADGET.
wait, but i’m worried about YOUR HOUSE CATCHING AFIRE what with the vintage WIRING in said vintage heater with rainbow buddons.
but i’m stoked about the faux wood thermos.
that thermos is amazing! i found a really cool one at the thrift store the other day (not wood grain, but awesomely patterned) but i had to talk myself out of it. it was missing the little cup for the top, which significantly reduces the usefulness of it.
it’s the color of the heater that draws me in. i totally get it! i promise not to steal. now coveting is a whole other thing.

hi!! linked over to your blog from East Side Bride — so glad i did! i dream of having chickens – plan on building a hutch this summer! Seems I’ve found a pro to follow!!
i’d love for you to pop over to my place too! i’ve got a giveaway right now for some earrings by an etsy designer. i’d love for you to enter.
have a great night!
it would be pointless (mostly redundant) to comment that you have a really, really “bad case” of “it”. because it is obviously so working for you!
