Tagged! Twice!

I've been tagged twice by the lovely Missa over at Thrift Candy!

First, in response to the following Five Things:

Five things in my purse:

Five favorite things in my room:


Five things I've always wanted to do: attend a Lebowskifest, drink a glass of champagne in Champagne, own a bakery that opens late, Drive Route 66 in cowboy boots, and live in Florence.

Five things I'm currently into: Thrifting for cool vintage patterns to use in gocco greeting cards, waiting to see the season finale of Lost, waiting to see if The Dark Knight is as good as it looks, finding the perfect recipe for red velvet cake, and Monk reruns.

Five impressions on Missa at Thrift Candy (who tagged me): Missa is sweet, has an impeccable eye for color and pattern, looked amazing while she was pregnant, has a beautiful garden and has the good taste to think of Enid from Ghost World as a style icon.

Next is Six Quirks. Here are mine:

Quirk One: I will straighten everything out on your desk, even if you don't ask me to.
Quirk Two: I photograph my shoes so I can locate them in my closet.
Quirk Three: I curl my eyelashes every day.
Quirk Four: I love to fall asleep with the TV on.
Quirk Five: I love drinking white wine over ice.
Quirk Six:
I walk around the house wearing boots for no reason whatsoever.

Now I'm taggin' girl friday, Nice-etc., made in Mississippi, paper schmaper, and the women within.

Thanks for the tag, Alexa. I'll give it my best shot. Or, "The dudette abides."

Cool, I love how you incorporated pictures of your five things. Speaking of which, that framed "the dude abides" tapestry is RAD! Also, thanks so much for your nice impressions! :)
