Currently Coveting

Alright people. It's officially less than two months til my birthday (I bet my family is laughing at this...Hiii Mom!) and I've been itching to go shopping and splurge on these things. Total impractical and yet completely necessary on all accounts. Does anyone love me enough to get any of these things for me? Great. Thanks.

Pride and Prejudice Book Scarf by storiarts on etsy

Anyone who personally knows me know that I am all about the scarf. To me, it is the perfect fashion accessory: perfect pop of color, not too fussy, and actually practical. I inherit my love of scarves from my mother who borderline hoards them (sorry Mom, just keeping it real). Though I can't poke fun because I'm a frequenter of her collection...Anyways. This scarf is everything I've ever wanted ever in my life ever. First. It's an infinity scarf. Perfect. Second. It's Pride and Prejudice. Even more perfect. Does there need to be any more reason there? Didn't think so. I'm obsessed with this clearly. And for the cool price of only $42.00, it's not too debt inducing! Gimme, gimme.
They also sell a Les Miserables, Sherklock Holmes, Alice in Wonderland, Romeo and Juliet, Little Women, Tale of Two Cities and Jane Eyre scarves for sale. I'll take one of each.

Aquala Bath Caddy from the Literary Gift Company

Holy. Crap. Where has this been my whole life?! I love to take baths and love to read in the bath tub. Is there anything more relaxing that laying in a tub of bubbles reading your favorite book? No, there isn't. Is there anything worse than holding a book when you have wet hands? No, there isn't. I hate hold or touching anything that is dry when my hands are wet. Well, other than a towel...or the obvious shower type items. You get it. So to have something to place my book on when reading in the tub is absolutely perfect. And here is the greatest part about this item....it has a built-in wine glass holder!

Hallelujah!

Can you even think of anything better? Can you even comprehend the pure state of relaxation your body would be in while reading a book in a bubble bath with a glass of wine?! I can't. Sorry if this is a little too excited for a bamboo bath caddy but this is something I pretty much need. Oh yeah, and it comes with a free little rubber duck who is reading a book. Perfect.
Buy it here , Price, but worth it.

Scrabble Coasters from....the internet. 

So now you all know I love wine. I promise I'm not some crazy wino (maybe) but these are too precious. Frankly, I could make these this weekend if I wanted to but instead I'd rather just wine (ha!) about how I want them. I would make mine say read, book, love annnnd...wine. No no, read, book, love, life? How about write, books, lover...wines? Okay, clearly I have something on my mind right now.

Book Print Wallpaper

This is an ambitious project. Frankly, I don't think I would (could) do this but I am obsessed with it. The project involves taking an old book (really several) tearing out the pages and double stick taping them to a wall. What a perfect accent wall! And it's not permanent so if you were feeling really ambitious you could change the book pages every so often! I don't think I could ever tear up a novel to create some decorative art but the craft-er here bought an English Literature text book to spare herself from a moral dilemma. How beautiful would this look in a front hall? Or on an accent wall in a library? I'm dreaming of my imaginary apartment again...

Book Clock from uncommongoods.com

What a better way to lose track of time while reading! This clock is way too cute and I know it would be so precious sitting up on my bookshelf. Only time will tell. Tale as old as time. A wrinkle in time. Time and books seem to go hand in hand. I love the bright colors and it's really the size of a normal book so it would be seamless by other non-ticking books.
What I really love about this item? The price. Only $24.00 here

Paddywax Library Author Candles on paddywax.com

Anyone who knows me knows that I have a weird thing about smells. I always have a candle or scented plug in or weird aromatherapy machine going whenever I am. In fact, at my desk at work I have a secret air freshener hidden. I just have a sensitive nose and need to have a pleasant smell in it. This product is genius. Candles inspired by famous authors. No the Leo Tolstoy doesn't smell like Russian vodka but black plum, persimmon, and oakmoss. Mark Twain is tobacco flower and vanilla! How perfect is that! I cannot even comprehend about how much I want all of these; particularly Jane Austen (surprise) and Charles Dickens. And you know what, they really aren't thaaaat expensive. A 4oz. diffuser is only $28.00. An 8oz glass candle is $25.00 and the 2 wick travel tin is only $8.00! I'd buy all of them in the travel tin.

Alright people, only 49 more shopping days til my birthday from the moment I post this. I'm just saying.
