This week’s challenge has all the making’s for a county music song.

Gold coffee cup

I need some coff-eeee

I don’t think morning coffee is exactly what Toby Keith had in mind.  Winking smile

Let’s just say, coffee is the glue that holds all this ***{gesturing wildly}*** together.  That and dark chocolate Dove bars and red wine.

And bread.

And chips and salsa.

Anyway, I love my gold mugs.  They are part of a dish set I got from Tripp and Kelsey for Mother’s Day several years ago.  2012-02-07_2200web

I love the way they sit in my palm and they do a great job of keeping my coffee or tea warm.

Way better than any plastic red cup. Smile

Peace, Kelly

    Kelly, I love your gold mugs too. 🙂 That they are special to you makes them all the more lovable. And yes, they are way better than any plastic red cup, any day!! 🙂

    Love your selection of glue, by the way. Especially the Dove bar part. 😉

    Happy Friday!

    Gold/yellow is such a happy color. I have my favorite mugs too. In fact, I can’t drink my coffee out of an ugly mug! I’m picky that way!

    Oooh, love the dreamy, steamy, full of magical bokeh picture at the bottom! Love the yellow mugs as well, I am a yellow girl. Thanks for stopping by earlier 😉

    Love the gold coffee cup on the granite countertop. Wonderful contrast.

About Me

Hi There! I’m Kelly. I am a wife, mom, light seeker, homemaker, and storyteller. From an empty nest to an abundant life, all it took was a little time, a lot of faith, and the courage to see my life differently.

You can read more about my story here.

So now, armed with my trusty Canon camera, here is where I share my journey to live an inspired and intentional life.

Welcome to my little corner of the interwebs!
