Our Beautiful World - Cup

I've been relatively absent as life caught up and overwhelmed me.  I've been crafting and find myself with photos to take and edit.  I hope to return to a more normal posting schedule and share with you what Brandy and I have been up to.

In the meantime, I've decided to join the ladies over at Our Beautiful World.  Their word prompt this week is Cup.  I couldn't resist staging these photos this morning with my small bunch of peonies purchased at the local Trader Joe's.
  

I decided to gather the coffee cups collected throughout the years.  This mismash of cups represents gifts over the years all of which are sizeable cups, so that I can have more than 8 ounces of coffee in a sitting.  Coffee is simply a dairy delivery system in my thinking - a mechanism for drinking cream!  As such, i need a sizeable cupmto get the mix right.  I'm remembering today the many mornings sitting watching the sun climb from the horizon into the sky with a strong cup of coffee and two lovely St. Bernards at my feet.  I've tried to cut back on my coffee drinking ways for health reasons.  Since we've now lost both our saints, I guess I don't miss coffee that much.

Is there a cup you'd like to share with everyone?  Come join the fun over at Our Beautiful World and post a picture of your cup.
