{Virtual Coffee} // Where Are You Having Your Coffee?

Tuesday, September 3, 2013


Good morning!
So it's early Tuesday morning and I have to tell ya, I'm feeling a little worn out from that long, holiday weekend.
We all slept late this morning, I never set an alarm because I have my two little alarm clocks that usually wake me up. Not today.
I'm not sure why we were all so worn out, as yesterday was pretty mellow... but the rest of the weekend was kinda busy I guess.
So... grab a cup of coffee and a seat and let's talk.

This is where I was having my coffee Sunday morning, we were at the Cabin and I took a walk down the road with my camera and my coffee
before it got way too hot...
Doesn't that look like a good spot for your morning coffee?
It was, it was really peaceful + quiet.
It made me think that it would be really fun to do a #havingmycoffeehere hashtag so you could see where everyone else was having their
morning coffee, too.
So, that's what I did this morning... although the location this morning isn't super exciting, it's still kinda fun.... if you're on Instagram
(and why wouldn't you be?), you should use that hashtag, too.


There's nothing like escaping from a crowded cabin full of people for a slow walk down a country road all by yourself.
I walked and drank my coffee and took pictures of the wildflowers, the corn, the birds and the long empty road.
It was good.
When that is not your usual daily view,  it's hard not to walk slowly and take it all in; here's just a little bit of my view...



To escape the heat and the crowded cabin, my sister, niece and I drove into town and went to one of my favorite little antique stores.
You guys, this place is packed from top to bottom... you can't even see everything, there's just so much.
There were several things I wanted but didn't think I should spend the money on just then that I am really kicking myself for now...
Wondering if they are still there and daydreaming about going back to get them...
Do you do that, too?


Do you see all of that turquoise in the 2nd picture?
Sigh.
I wanted to buy every last thing on that table... so much good stuff!
And the table itself with the matching chairs.... yes, please.
My niece wants to move to California one day so she is a bit obsessed with all things California, so we had to take a picture with the post card.

::::::::::::::::::::::::

If we were really meeting for coffee this morning I would ask you all about school if you have school-aged children...
It seems like if you didn't start early like we did then you are probably starting today.
Are you ready fro the school year?
Still in denial that Summer is now officially over?
I wasn't really ready for it but then again I think I was kind of craving a new routine and at the same time I am looking forward to new things for myself, too.
It's always just a lot of mixed emotions I think... I feel kind of sad but then again you can't when you have kids that are excited about school and ready to go back.
For that I am so thankful, too.

Well, I am having nothing but computer/connection problems this morning and this took me twice as long as it should have, so I better get moving now.
Hope everyone has a great day!



OH! I almost forgot... I am finally getting around to making a Facebook page for my
Shop + Blog.
Uh.... yeah, I might have started doing it a year ago and never went anywhere with it. Whoops.
BUT, now it's out there, so go like it- or follow it, or whatever if you want to...
You can just click on this link until I get a little icon thing up and running.

I'll be updating it daily with pictures, new stuff in the Shop, blog links, etc.

This is what gets me really excited, right here.
Capturing this beautifully gorgeous sunlight.
A perfect evening at the cabin, getting close to sunset.
Charlotte said she wanted to go pick flowers for
 her cousin right before dinner so
I grabbed my camera and we walked down the lane.
Perfect timing.

Here's the thing: I know that a real photographer would remove,
add and adjust all kinds of things with these pictures.
But I love the warm, glowing feel here and most of all I love how
 the light,  the way it really looked and felt right
 then shows up in the pictures.
I just totally dorked out about the sun and these pictures, didn't I?
I know. 
I really did.

One more day off. No school, no work.
Laying around in bed late, omelettes for breakfast, no plans for the day.
Now that's my kind of Holiday.
 What are you doing this weekend?
 I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend and you get
to do something that makes you really happy.
