coffee w/ bailey #13

this morning i decided to pull out my goofy german coffee mug. the other side says "guten morgen" and the front shows lazy coffee beans in the frazzled mug. i just feel like it's gonna be this kind of day. Zum Wohl!

ein kaffee bitte

translation: one coffee please
since this cup and saucer was made in germany, i thought i'd title this post in german :) i bought it at sur la table a few years back but i wish i had bought a service for four instead of only one. drat!

herr kaffee

i first saw this german smoker while browsing the web. when i saw him, i knew i just had to have him. the search was on. i finally found him at webshop erzgebirge, a german web site. i ordered him hoping he wouldn't get lost or damaged in his long journey around the world. he arrived safe and sound and now proudly sits in my kitchen display cabinet. isn't he adorable?
