Thought I’d take you on a quick detour between coffee cup 550 and 551. If you are seeking yet another distraction from real life, look no further than Pinterest, my friend. Pinterest is an online inspiration board…you can create boards from other folks’ pins, or pin anything from the internet. I am sure there are lofty and important ways to use Pinterest, but so far, I just wander about looking for things that make me gasp, laugh or swoon. My boards are here. You should come play, really you should. In the meantime, here are some of my favorite coffee love pins.
“The now-defunct Crowsenberg’s Half & Half in Portland. Last year my sister and I went on a journey to Portland and Seattle. We walked this great little coffee place the night before, and I pressed my face against the window, demanding we go back
the next day.”
Since we’re on the subject of coffee art, I offer the Mocha Lisa, a 3,604-cup masterpiece created during The Rocks Aroma Festival, in Sydney, Australia. Just a short break between coffee cups 100 and 101. Via Oddity Central and Lanamaniac.
Karen of Coffee Creations paints with espresso. And sometimes beer. And since I love the Tour de France almost as much as I love coffee, I thought this piece would be the perfect coffee break between cups 75 and 76.
From April, in Chicago, Illinois. I’ve been following her photos and art for a year now. Her Etsy shop is Creative Apples Photography (where these four paintings are for sale, just in case you were hoping). Her Flickr page is here and her blog is here. I’ll meet you there for a cup.
