You can't talk about brown with out talking about coffee. I'm a big coffee fan and snob, I might add. Our favourite local coffee roaster,
JJ Bean, makes one of the best lattes in town, with latte art to boot. That was my inspiration for these low latte mugs of mine. Low so that they fit under the home espresso machine, wide so you can attempt to make that foam look pretty. Look pretty that is, until you pour the raw sugar on top and have to stir:). Dean drinks espresso- no milk and no sugar. I'm determined to make more of these little brown espresso cups in time for Christmas, but they are usually at the bottom of my list. I'm still not sure about the design too- will have to tweek out a few thoughts on these once I get at them!
And last, my new uniform for the fall, this great Ralph Lauren Plaid shirt I found at Value Village for $4 that feels too cosy to even take off at night. I know you can't really tell what it looks like on me here, but my good friend Sherri did a swell job of making it look great on me
here!
It's the time of year when the Ginko trees all turn shades of yellow. We have a few in the neighbourhood and down the street at the Park & Tilford Gardens close by where I get my coffee. I've been collecting a few and having them dry out, and then this morning while dropping off the kids at school, one of the moms gave me one from her yard. That's her tea set in the photo! And I've just taken a few more of these large bowls out of the kiln this weekend! They will be available at my studio during the Crawl!
