Coffee For Two

I so much enjoy my afternoon coffee breaks. But the Turkish coffee seems to taste so much better when I drink it out of a fine bone china mug  – little espresso cups are for wimps.

I have a special breakfast mug, but just as I like to change my outfits during the day (kidding), I need to have a special afternoon mug. Recently I’ve kept my eye out, and then yesterday I happened upon these delightful Orla Kiely mugs in the department store David Jones. It took me quite a while to decide which one to get, and when I discovered at the sales counter that they were 30% off, why, I decided to get two!

The retro patterns are so fresh and cheerful, and very inspiring. How cute does it look on the radio below!
