The kitchen is awash in slanted light early this morning.
The smells of chocolate chip cookies baking and strong coffee brewing, dances in the air.
These are for my new next door neighbor. A little cookie love in exchange for the tremendous task of helping the Sweet Hub install a new micro. A Dollar Tree plate allows her to keep the plate! I love DT!
And I love mornings. No, I'm not an early, early bird. Unless you count the days that heinous hormones come into play. On those days, those hormones pop my eyes open at 4:30 am. and say, "awake! awake!", like some carny magician from days gone by. . Errgh.
But on those days, its all good. I actually get things done!
But most mornings, I like to move slow. Gather my thoughts, and enjoy the promise of the day.
And the wretched mess above? Cream colored ribbon that I am dying for my Etsy shop. And putting some together for the project that I am working on for Paper Cowgirl.
More on that, tomorrow.
Hope your morning has been wonderful!

The cookies look delish. I can almost smell them from here.:)
PS Dollar Tree is da-bomb! It reminds me of an old five & dime...I guess with inflation it's a dollar now.HA!

I swear I thought the ribbon dying was a pie in the making. Lordy I am getting old...time for new specs!
I am a Dollar Tree Ho. I love that store and they love me for all my visits!

Oh, say, can you see? By the dawn's slanted light? A neat post...so poetic and splendorific. ~ Angela

I know they are for the neighbors, but cookies and coffee for an early morning breakfast... I think I could get up early for that even though I'm really more of a mid-morning girl.
