This post, I assume, is not as needful as their posts, for I am not a reticent creature. I am not at all mysterious [which I've heard the gentlemen find alluring] and I am not aloof. [which has a charm of its own] That does not mean that I have not depth, nor does it mean that you know everything about me. It simply stands to reason that I tell you more about myself that they are inclined to do. But I digress. In short, I can only assume that you have a fairly good idea of me already. But my favorite things will come out on their own accord whether I devote a whole post to them or not. I will submit to their clamoring and give you a list. Here you are. I give you the echoings of me:
Scottish accents--any over-there accents, really/smooth-flowing pens/liquid sunsets/baby-laughter/unexpected letters in the mail/dancing/full, swingy skirts/50's fashion/the triumph in finishing a book/kisses from Grace/Disney classics/Love/freckles/genuine red hair--the Celtic kind, not from the bottle, please/P.G. Tips/pomegranates/witty banter/moonlight/starlight/first light/ half-light/amethyst dusk/brooks/gloriously satisfying books/historical sites/musical theatre music/ the High Kings/ the Psalms/ long walks having conversations with the Lover of my Soul/travelling/the rush of panic-hilarity that comes as I push off the top of a hill when skiiing/music/singing my heart out when no one is listening/thick-enough aprons/heirloom flowers/larkspur/delphinium/Beatrix Potter/watercolor painting/fits of laughter/witty people/dear heart-friends/period-dramas/period costumes/ costume designing/ raspberry jam/Cricket, my Rum-Tum-Tugger/storms/blog comments/free samples/smooth, silky hair/new friends/social occasions/picnics/ramblings/contacts/tin-lizzies/cinnamon buns/Virginia/cute kids/laughter again.There could be more. There are more. But I am a person of many favorites--you might call me exuberant, colorful, and easy to please. Aren't these things precious gifts?

They are, Rachel. Precious things indeed. I think I love you all the more for this list.
Here's to baby giggles, letters, and vintage fashion. Huzzah. ^.^
Just discovered your blog! It's lovely, your writing is witty, and fun.
