I was lazy today so I did not do much work. Believe me, there is a lot that needs to be done but every now and then, I feel a need to just relax. I got an email message today about the intake of coffee preventing Alzheimer's Disease. So even though I already had my morning coffee, I thought I would make capuccino for an extra caffeine. This particular lefton tea set was not packed yet so why not use it?
I went grocery shopping yesterday and saw a MS mud pie cake. I went ahead and bought one. It was a perfect accompaniment for my capuccino.
I used a small capuccino crystal cup.
I bought this TV tray for John for our anniversary. It comes in a set of 4. On top are French wine labels with different years. This particular one with 1947 attracted me because it is John's year of birth.
The coffee table is ready to be moved. There's nothing on it anymore but it's heavy cause the 8 drawers are still full of flatware. I don't think I will move them out since they are not fragile anyway.
I just realaxed and watched news for a while and those few minutes were enough to recharge me. And then I started boxing up china from the dining room again.

I have a lot of dishes and I am so happy that I was able to organize them in a walk in closet. If you have not seen my dish room and you would like to take a glimpse, please go down one more post.
I am linking with the weekly tea parties.

ReplyDeleteBusy day here - appointment, then major grocery shopping. Would liked to have stayed in, as it was a dark, gray, wet day.
I'd love to join you...the coffee and cake look SO good! And I'd feel so spoiled with that beautiful tea set. What a nice break you must have had. I drink coffee quite a lot so I hope I reap the benefits of the caffeine!
ReplyDeleteXO,
Janie
