The Bucket List

#1 Swim with Whale Sharks

Teddy Roosevelt - Bull Moose

No idea how this is possible, but this photo of TR riding a swimming moose ran in Life Magazine and has not been doctored.  This will be on my wall some day.

Hudson Bay Blanket Chair

Saw this bad boy as part of a pair going for $1,400 at the Pop Up Flea.  Love it, but think it could be done rather easily on your own provided you know someone who can upholster (thanks in advance Mom).

Hudson Bay Point blankets were first traded with Indians in exchange for beaver pelts in British North America (aka Canada) during the 18th century. Indians prized them because they were easier to sew than bison or deer skins and for their ability to hold heat (even when wet).  The blankets can still be purchased today, but cost a bit more than a couple of beaver pelts at this point in time.  4 point blankets start at $259.
