Coffee Break

First, there was a picture of two beautiful blue coffee mugs, over at French Village Life.

Then I received this in the post

…a delightful hand drawn post card, from Frances at Left-Handed Housewife. All the way from the USA to my letter box in Leicestershire.

All of which makes me feel like having a good cup of coffee [Fairly Traded, of course]– and that reminds me to prompt people about this upcoming event

It is only a week away – you can find out more here.  Fairtrade products encompass far more these days than just coffee and teabags. Our friends at the Parish Church are even organising a Fairtrade Fashion Show on March 5th. I’m a little apprehensive about this – they have asked me to be one of the models!! Bob fell about laughing when he heard that. After all, I am less Twiggy and more Miss Piggy in stature [small, round and pinkish]

Anyway – do keep a lookout for the FairTrade Fortnight events in your neck of the woods, and support the cause.

Today is the last day for posting to the OWOH event – so please comment here if you haven’t done so already. I shall sort out my giveaway winner tomorrow night after school [just to allow time for far flung friends where midnight is later to get their comments sorted!]

I have enjoyed sitting with a coffee mug in my hand, surfing through the blogs of the other participants in this fun event.

 

I am very sleepy this evening. If I were Abby on NCIS, I think I’d have a huge mug of CafPow to keep me going.

CafPow was dreamed up by the scriptwriters for the programme- but now an enterprising manufacturer is actually making and selling the stuff in the USA! But it probably isn’t healthy or FairTrade anyway.
