My Favorite Things

This particular Sunday afternoon finds me in a Fraulein Maria sort of frame of mind ... so let me share some of my favorite things in my corner of the world!

This pic of me was taken one day while Chris, Parker and I took a little day date and we stopped into my my new favorite place, Campus Suites Cafe, a quaint cafe near the U.N. that serves very cheap coffee and gives me huge dose of the outdoors during winter. The entire back of the cafe is glass ... makes my heart so happy!


Yep. My Chris. No words needed here. He's just one of my favorite humans on this planet!


This is my favorite nook in my flat. Often I read a new recipe here or find Parker listening to music here or see Libby putting on her shoes to go outside here.


OK ... these are several of my favorite things in one picture. First, my espresso maker. It has become a "need" in my life. One can not make a proper coffee without an espresso maker! Second, pink lady apples ... yummo! Third, nothing says I live in europe like a fresh kornspitz banquette! Finally, my coffee cup that my Chris bought for me as a just because gift!


This little gadget is my milk stirer thingy ... another favorite! I don't know the technical name, but this is what I use to make my milk foamy and yummy and just right to pour into my espresso. It's battery operated and if one drinks coffee with a little milk foam ... one NEEDS this little gadget!

This link is one of my new favorite artists, Audrey Assad. And, this quirky song is just a toe-tapping happy dance kind of song. I like to think of my Chris ... and God ... and it makes me smile.


And ... this is my favorite view that I gaze out while being inspired to write. It is here that I've spent many long hours reading, writing, dreaming, crying ... just veggin' and getting filled up and poured out!
