Coffee Hound

Yes...I admit it...I am addicted to coffee. Cup of Joe. Cafe au lait. Latte. Espresso. Decaf. Machiato. Bring it on...


Can't believe I found this cup! 

Yes, I am


The hound was inside the cup!


Okay, sometimes I'm a Half Cupper, but never ever a Weak Sister!

Thrift Store Books

I was trolling for chairs at a local thrift store...no chairs, but 3 cool books!

The first: "A Treasury of Gilbert & Sullivan" (first edition, 1941)




Great book; very retro illustrations!




The second: Funks & Wagnalls New Comprehensive "Standard" Dictionary (1955)




With the flags of the 48 states:




and third: a book written in Russian. Defintely Soviet-era. Maybe a book about discussing religion...all religions were banned during the Communist regime.










I was going to use all 3 for crafts/art, but maybe just use the dictionary...hmmm
