Hi everyone!
A day last week I decided to have some espresso instead of tea.
After the Princess went to school and Troy was off to put his volunteer hours in at her school, I decided to fix a small pot of espresso and worked on next month’s budget….YUCK!
See, that is why I needed a little something stronger than tea today! LOL
Last summer I got a set of four of these little espresso cups and saucers at a flea market for $1.25 (for all 4 sets).
I do use the computer for some budgeting stuff but, I am basically old school. I still like a pen and paper to figure stuff out.
Are you the home manager of your house? Do you do a rough budget for the upcoming month? Of course before I got this management gig, I managed a staff of about 46 employees. Now, as I sit around this staff budget meeting, I seem to be lacking staff! So, first thing on the list…GET A STAFF!! 
Okay, enough of that.
The table runner was a clearance find at TJ Maxx a few years ago. It was such a good price I bought 3 of them in different colors.
The small teapot was also a thrift store find. I just loved the vibrant colors!
The hand painted pot from Mexico was marked $1.99 and then I had a 20% off coupon!
Blue and yellow is one of my favorite color combos.
Thank you for stopping by today! I hope you have a wonderful day!

ReplyDeleteBeautifully done post - the colors are amazing.
So...how was your expresso?
That'd kill me, haha.
Have a wonderful week.
Wonder why I am never that lucky when I go shopping?
ReplyDeleteMaybe you can teach me some things about being thrifty as I follow you.
Beautiful collection!
ReplyDeleteMy Blue, hope you'd come and see. Have a great week ahead.
I love blue with most any other color, but especially with white.
ReplyDeleteHappy Easter!
Happy Blue Monday, Diann!
What pretty colors. I really like that runner! hugs, Linda
ReplyDeleteI love the runner!!! Espresso cups are becoming very popular and that is an elegant pattern. Sure wish we had a TJMaxx closer than 60 miles away! Thanks for linking to Tuesday Cuppa Tea!

Maybe someone in your family will read your post and volunteer for staff? :-) I like the colourful china.

I love blue and yellow, too! Fun post. I need a staff, too, but my furbabies think they are all I need! :D :D Happy Tea Day!
ReplyDeleteHello Diann,
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute teapot and the espresso cups are very cute too! Yellow and blue is such a wonderful colour combo! I've never shopped at a TJMaxx because we don't have one here. Maybe someday! Thanks for sharing with us and Happy Easter to you and your family!
