• Alicia Kachmar: You are awesome! Yeeeees cafe au lait bowls. That is such a good one! (Do you like Le Pain Quotidien?) And ditto on rosy cheeks…I love that mine are naturally like that (blood vessels close to surface, so my pediatrician told me).

  I will definitely be doing this on my blog! I have mini lists to the same effect, “favorite smells” “favorite sounds” etc. etc.32 weeks ago

• jill: i would ditto most of yours, and add chubby baby cheeks and knitted caps32 weeks ago

• roohbaroo: at first i was thoroughly creeped out by how many of these would’ve been on my list (lavender?! lists?! records?! etsy?! we’re doppelgangers! aaaaa!) but then realized that the list may apply to lots of us arsty brooklynites. yay for lists!32 weeks ago

• Miranda: What is it about lists of favorites that makes me so happy?
  I’m sure you’re aware but it sounds like you should be living in the country…32 weeks ago

• sarah: roohbaroo, i love meeting dopplegangers! yeah, these are crowd-pleasers, i guess, among birds of a feather.

• Sarah: EB, what’s to discuss? they create only the most beautiful, melancholic, “i’m in europe feeling introspective” music in the world!!
  brenda, old bookshops, smoky autumn evenings and fountain pens—yes, yes!32 weeks ago

• mamacita: I’ve been working on my own list for a while. It really can make the difference on a bad day. I would add: old mirrors; anything marbleized or variegated; sleeping with the windows open; waking up to the sound of birds; and my collection of good quotes.32 weeks ago

• sarah: sleeping with the windows open is the best addition!32 weeks ago

• Victoria: I have always suspected a little crush on the accordion (think Amelie, Triplets of Belleville), but I only just realized the fullness of my love for it at my first tango show in Buenos Aires just days ago. The only thing sexier than the dancers was the way the slick young accordionist would bounce his instrument on his knee as it contracted. Yes: accordion = sexy. PS, Sebastian hooked us up with his lovely friend Dan while we were down there. Now we *definitely* owe you guys dinner.31 weeks ago
