    • Love it!

      I’m very late to Italy love, but after Rome his year I want to go back, and back again….I can’t stop thinking about visiting the Almafi coast.

      Alaska needs to be on my list too!

  6. What a great list – I especially love the Library corner – I have always wanted a whole Library room but have never thought to include it on my wish list though. I think my list might need bringing out of storage and refreshing a little for 2013 – thanks for the nudge.

    • I went through a stage of de-cluttering (and selling) my books but I regret doing it really. I love books and having a small library corner makes me happy :)
