I wouldn't even miss the coffee since I never drink it. =) I love those Lecien fabrics and hope that a release happens in a shop near me. =) I'm looking forward to next week and the hussif. All that fruit looks so good, and here I am without any in the house. And pouring rain outside. And the closest beach about 12 hours away. =) Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-35008901585160816942015-07-24T02:03:40.907+10:002015-07-24T02:03:40.907+10:00Thank you Jenny for sharing your day and all of th...Thank you Jenny for sharing your day and all of the beautiful photos! Your special box is wonderful, especially having the glass top and being able to see what is stored inside. My hubby, several years ago, bought a gas stove for when we go camping. It is kept handy year round for the specific purpose of making coffee when the power goes out. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful creative day!Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06958077183627536062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-87348864609796756992015-07-24T02:01:05.251+10:002015-07-24T02:01:05.251+10:00A really interesting post.

We were without water for two days earlier this year and it really made us think how favoured we are!

I finally get everything tidy and then I start more projects and the room seems to get messy again in no time. I love that box with the glass lid, rather special. LOve the fabrics you have chosen and am rather interested in the the book you are reading. I am glad you took the time to smell the roses and relax.Ondreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06375358743415174254noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5738183327129723042.post-21463843464062341432015-07-23T16:03:53.516+10:002015-07-23T16:03:53.516+10:00What a fun day!

Sometimes I light a ring on the barbeque & boil a pot of water if I am desperate for a hot cuppa. You have some lovely things in your sewing room that captured my eye ... your pink & blue wire baskets are very lovely. I look forward to seeing the new hussif in the other colourway. I also will be most interested to see what you think of that book as I have read it myself & am not sure whether I enjoyed it or not to be honest.
