Blue dress

This dress reminds me of a blue dress I had as a teenage girl - it actually drove my mom crazy, because for a while there I was kinda hooked on blue and wanted no clothes if it wasn't powder blue! Now it's my turn and often makes me smile when my daughter is very specific about what she wants to wear and what she will not wear, although she is actually very easy going when it comes to clothes.

Plaaskoffie

'Plaaskoffie' is the afrikaans (my first language) word for farm coffee - I scanned it from an old coffee tin we inherited from my mother in law.

The heart, hand and coffee tin images are from Graphics Fairy - linking to Brag Monday, also my entry for the coffee challenge over at Take a Word today. Enjoy your cuppa wherever you are!
