Kindergarten. not garden. Imagining rows of young children harvesting turnips . . .
Love the list! The tea mug is definitely going to a friend of mine for Christmas – she’s a HUGE tea lover. Carries her own with her everywhere, always has a ceramic mug in her bag for hot water, etc.

Oh, hi! I remember that I requested your back-to-school picks for adults last year. I was really curious about what you’d pick.
I’m here to also add a plug to have a public library card added to the list. I have this on the brain – can you imagine a large American city without a library? Devastating.
Megan, the library closing information is tragic! Especially since Carnegie is a Pennsylvania kind of guy, and he was a big, big, believer in the idea that libraries are an important civic resource!
OHMIGOSH. My brother just helped me out HUGELY and is a big tea drinker, so I just shipped that travel tea mug to him in Indiana where he lives – I’m in Cali. (I’m the one who dreamt you set me up with the red head with the 7-year-old daughter. Yes – my dream world is so freaking odd, I have no words.)
My brother flew out to help me with our Mom’s hip replacement and we had a great time and he was so helpful. I’m soooooo very glad you posted this – he’s gonna LOVE this gift!
You know, I’m pretty sure garten is garden in German and kinder is child, so it’s not that big of a slip. Imagining the children as little turnips is about right.

Whoa. Oddly, that was a spell check glitch on my back end. Thank you.

Fantastic! I especially love that pencil case. I think I may press it into service as a clutch.

Oh, the hilarity of taunting grade schoolers. I’m going to take myself shopping tonight.
