"I like" Thursdays #12

What?!?
It's Thursday?? Must be time for I Like lists

Which way do we go???

We'll just start the list, shall we??
1.I like these soaps from Bath and Bodyworks

I just love the scent of Winter candy apple, and Twisted Peppermint.
 My new favorite scent is Winter Citrus Wreath.
We only purchased 8 (on sale)...this time... but we'll return to buy enough to hoard for months to come.( DH who likes to stock up and avoid stores asked if we should just buy a case now)

And Lookie at the new soap holder, covered in pearls, REAL I'm sure! We got the last one in our store.

I mean who doesn't look good covered in pearls??

Speaking of pearls and beads...

Must be blurry because I was trembling with excitement lol!

2. I like beads. I like a sale. I ordered some from Fire Mountain Gems along with my friend Cindy... when we combined our order, we had enough items to get a discount! I got them like a present with a bag, pen and catalogue. I see bracelets in my future heh heh (note those patterns in the picture)

3. I like walking around Washington DC with my mate...

(I'm not so good with selfies and holding my point and shoot camera... )

who goes into art galleries, museums, and gift shops with me. Patiently.
which brings me to
4. I like gift shops in museums

I mean where else can you find this?? (If you want it, you can order one from the National Gallery of Art)
and why oh why didn't I buy this??

I don't know (shaking head)

5. I like, no, I LOVE   Wedgewood, and Boadicea.
Two Guinea pigs easy to love.  When you visit the site, be sure to look for some videos to see these two playing with toys on the living room floor.
Their personal secretary has a recent post of outtakes from Christmas pics this year on this post.
(Their personal secretary also dances and quilts. I too also dance and quilt. Just missing the pigs)


 Don't those pigs want to come see Aunt Leela for Christmas?? Can't you see them on the bus? Little name tags pinned to their sweaters clutching a bag lunch?

 Go see!:

 7. I like trees. (I know, you know but still...)

 Looks like another bare tree right?
Hint, it's in the sculpture garden (see National Archives behind it? ) at dusk. Shiny!
Shiny??

Yep. Shiny METAL tree. AWESOME! Thank you to some artist right? Beautiful things to see in our nation's beautiful capitol. I am trying to focus on beauty and on artwork.
On artwork and on the country valuing art work so that citizens can see it.
I value art and freedom of speech. America is founded on that, truth, and respect for difference of beliefs. Speaking of that....
look at these two books for sale at the Nat. Gallery of Art... (I purchased one on writer's prompts)

Make the world a little kinder....It's possible

That's my list for the week  and I'd love to see yours.
