Blue bottles and cappuccino

I'd love for you to come join me for coffee at a local coffee house, St. Mark's Coffeehouse.  What I really love about this place are the blue bottles lining the windows. I love it when I can find inspiration in places I frequent and I love colored bottles so these capture my attention each time I visit.  

Sit down and sip a cappuccino

Indulge in some delicious food

while live classical music plays in the background.

Just soak up the relaxing atmosphere with me and forget your worries for the afternoon.

I'm sharing with:

A Wine Crate for Lavender

Welcome to my blog!  My husband (Mr. H) and I moved into a Victorian bungalow this previous fall and since then I've been busy turning it into a home we'll never want to leave.  I love home decor, antiquing, DIY projects and international travel and wanted to share my loves with all of you.

For my first post I thought I'd share a project that showcased some of my current obsessions...lavender, wine crates, France, and colored glass bottles.  Mr. H helped feed my obsessions by making this box to hold my lavender in the bathroom.  He went to a wine shop and asked if they had any wooden wine crates for sale and came home with this one!  He cut the sides down and created a box that was just the right size.  The fact that the wine crate is from a French wine makes it all the more perfect.
