Ever walk into a cafe or coffee shop and people watch? Even for just a second?
People conversing…
Some just reading, some typing up a storm
All with their own personal cup..caffeinated or not
Personalized with a touch of sugar or cream here or there
A multitude of people, a variety of personalities…of life.
In the blogging world, I’ve been able to meet a vast array of wonderful friends from around the world. Each with their own unique take on life. Contributing daily to their corners of the web.
People you would have a lovely time chatting with in a cafe.
But since this is the blogosphere, and none of us are really in the same city, I thought a virtual coffee/tea party would be perfect.
A chance for us to virtually get together…and for you to see how beautifully different we all are, through our favorite cups and mugs….

Love this – so sad that I didn’t have the time to participate. I forgot all about it until the day AFTER the deadline – my schedule needs to calm down.
Love all the cups and this concept.
Have a great weekend, L!
