espressive.

this is my other recent thrift store find.

i realize and confess that i am always quite taken with interesting dishes, particularly of the coffee-holding variety. i found this set of 7 espresso cups and 8 saucers, and just couldn't leave without it.

i am filling up a little chest of homemaking treasures, so that whenever the day comes that i have my own home within reasonable moving distance from here [aka probably not europe], it will be a cinch to get my kitchen feeling cozy in no time. and i'd have to say, i suspect that an espresso afternoon will certainly be held at my earliest convenience.
