1. this stack of potholders.

2. these experiments.

3. this painted wardrobe.

{for reminding me to play and scratching a homecoming itch for something new.}

3. this wonky basket.

{made with long-leftover reeds and no plan. imperfections noted and welcomed.}

5. this book.

other things:

how to read a menu.

to see.

tolerable light bulbs.

batteries not required.
