Introduction to My Favorite Things

Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
Bright copper kettles and warm woolen mittens
Brown paper packages tied up with strings
These are a few of my favorite things

Cream colored ponies and crisp apple strudels
Doorbells and sleigh bells and schnitzel with noodles
Wild geese that fly with the moon on their wings
These are a few of my favorite things

Girls in white dresses with blue satin sashes
Snowflakes that stay on my nose and eyelashes
Silver white winters that melt into springs
These are a few of my favorite things

Now these are not necessarily my favorite things but this “Sound of Music” song is one of the inspirations for this blog of my favorite things.  A year and a half ago I compiled all of my favorite brands into a larger than life silhouetted self portrait for a class in college.  This blog is going to be an extension of this self portrait, explaining why certain brands are on this silhouette and delving into things such as collaging, red velvet, and walk in closets that I was not able to portray on this image. 

I originally wanted to write a book of short stories about my life supplemented with explanations of my favorite things.  However, I do not think I have enough stories yet to create a book so in the meantime the short stories will sit on the shelf and the brief explanations about my favorite things, in no particular order, I will post on this blog at least twice a week.
