Our Wish List
Here you will find our (very large) wish list. These are things that we would love to get so that we can start or finish a project, upgrade something, try a new hobby, or simplify some aspect of our lives. We are happy to work on trades or barter for these items. Or, if you have something on this list that you don't want anymore, we would gladly accept any of these items as donations as well! Donate some items and watch the blog for updates and photos of the project you helped come to life!
