Coffee

Coffee anyone? I have really cut down on drinking coffee. I was drinking a pot of coffee at home and then at work drinking coffee just about all day long ! No wonder I couldn't sleep even drinking decaff. So now when I have my special cup with a cookie or piece of cake,well it's wonderful LOL

 I have several coffee canisters that I love because they are blue & white. This old canister has lost its lid throughout it's life and hasn't had one in the 20 years I have owned it. This is one of the items I started collecting back in the late 70-80's which  was blue and white dishes and canisters. never seen blue cherries but isn't it pretty?

                                                               
Also my sale at the convention center last Saturday went very good. I sold a lot and was very happy with the day. I took loads of $1-10 items and they sold like hotcakes. The ice and snow held off Saturday. It was pleasant unloading however when we closed the cold north winds had came in and it was freezing packing up . This year they provided helpers and I sure was appreciative of that . I took pictures with my iphone and downloaded them in pisca at home however something went wrong ,anyway I can't find them and my program only downloads once,anyway I can't figure it out. I need a 9 year old to help me LOL Kids today can do anything on electronics
I just threw this picture in of my blue & white calico dishes because this was my first love, In dishes that is and I still love them with all my heart


The weather will be in the 50's today I am sure on campus lots college kids will be wearing shorts and tee shirts they always rush wearing shorts I think.

  7. I loved seeing all your pretty things!! I drink a small pot of coffee every morning - but I guess I'm a social drinker because I can do without it if noone is around to drink it with!

  9. So glad your show went well. You know, I don't think people use coffee canisters much now a days, they just scoop right out of the can. They don't know what they are missing as they could have a cute blue and white canister like yours!
