Patina Moon

We've been blessed with such nice weather lately, that I've been wanting to be outdoors all the time!  (yes, I crochet outside too. :-) So, it was the perfect time to get out all those tea tins I've been saving and do something fun with them!  I admit, I am a bit of a hoarder  "keeper of things"  Ok, not THAT bad, but you know what I mean.  Right? I had a hard time throwing out these cute little Tazo Tea tins because  I wanted to eventually repurpose them, so this is what I did.  I decided on succulents because I want to keep these indoors. I wish I had one of those cute little kitchen window sills over the sink to  keep herbs and such.  I just love that look!  So, instead, we have this little "coffee bar" area that's fun to  decorate for the seasons.  There's a lot of coffee and tea drinking going on over here.  I mean, it is Seatt...

You know you're living in Seattle  when you have your own  Coffee Bar at your house.  :-) When you live in an old house with a small and  very outdated kitchen,  you kind of have to get creative with the space you do have!  This space kind of evolved over time...I just keep changing  and adding to it. We both love coffee, and I'm a big tea drinker as well.  Oh be still my heart when I found this vintage coffee grinder at an  antique shop here in the area.  Pretty different from this, but oh so quick and easy!  Who'd a thought I'd have a special place to display this  collage I made a while back.  Not to mention the glass table I got in Las Vegas years ago,  and it sat in our garage because I didn't have a place for it!  How about you?  Do you like to create special nooks where you live? Hope yo...
