Yesterday I bought a Boston Cream Pie for the kids…no really…it’s for them. Today, I am going to make it a point to buy absolutely nothing. Good thing I still have about a glass of cab left for when I get home. ---

A tall, fluted, white porcelain coffee cup, painted (sparingly) with a few exquisite wildflowers, a bee, and a dragonfly, right out of a Victorian lady’s nature sketchbook; my daily cuppa or a hot chocolate tastes so much better in a pretty cup. ---
