Need versus want

The boy and I have been giving some thought to the whole registering process. There are some things that we both agree that we need and I'm glad that he agrees that we need new towels and linens, a Le Creuset dutch oven,

and of course the coveted KitchenAid stand mixer (which will be the only thing that we register for in Canada as it is twice the cost in the UK - we'll just have to use a special plug with it).

But I've come to realize that there is a significant amount of gorgeous things that I want, but don't necessarily need. (Which makes me feel horribly guilty and selfish but oh well).

Vintage 19th and 20th century pressed glass cake stands

French cotton stripe tea towels

White French porcelain

French Bee embossed glasses

All of the 'fun' stuff is from Re-found Objects. At least it's fun to look!
