What's on your wish list?

We all have lists. Some we write down, others we keep in the back of our minds. Whether it’s a to-do list, a wish list, or a dream list, they shape the way we move through life.

As an artist and designer, I find lists essential—not just for organizing my day, but for keeping my creative dreams alive. At carolentin.com, every handmade bag starts as a vision, a wish to craft something beautiful and lasting. The same can be said for the lists we create—some are practical, some are ambitious, and some are pure magic.

The Daily To-Do List

This is the one that keeps life moving:

• Running errands
• Making calls
• Picking up groceries, dry cleaning, supplies
• Ticking off those small but necessary tasks that make everything function

It’s routine, but even within the everyday, there’s beauty—like carrying a handbag that’s as practical as it is timeless.

The New Year’s Resolution List

Ah, the infamous list of good intentions:

• Eat healthier
• Exercise more
• Organize the things I’ve been avoiding

This list is full of hope, yet so easily forgotten. But what if we approached it with the same care we put into crafting something by hand—intentional, thoughtful, and built to last?

The Real-to-Life Obtainable Wish List

The things we truly can (and should) do:

• Stay connected with family and friends
• Budget wisely and save for the future
• Take that workshop I’ve been meaning to
• Stop waiting for “special occasions” to enjoy the things I love

This last one is a lesson I’ve truly embraced. For years, I kept my favorite outfits and accessories reserved for just the right moment. But what if every day is the right moment? Now, my favorite pieces that have been kept in drawers and closets accompany me wherever I go, even if it’s just to the market or a coffee shop.

The Magical Dream List

The ultimate, limitless wish list—the one that’s pure fantasy but fuels our passions:

• A carte blanche shopping spree at Tiffany’s, Bergdorf’s, or an exotic car showroom
• Living and studying in Italy under a master jewelry artisan
• Creating something that leaves a lasting legacy

Dreams like these remind me why I create. They inspire, they drive us forward, and sometimes, with enough passion and perseverance, they even become reality.

What’s on your list? Practical or magical, big or small—I hope you carry your wishes with you and make space for them in your life.

Warmly,
Carol

P.S. I’m still wishing for that carte blanche shopping spree.
