Happiness.

I got these for Mother's Day.



Well, I heavy-hinted to Grace how much I wanted them about 2 months ago. Every time we passed Starbucks, she'd sort of wink at me.

A few days before Mother's Day (see how I'm not commenting on his timing? Nope, I'm not commenting) Jim stopped in to pick them up. They weren't there anymore. All that time, and that week Starbucks pulled them off the shelves to make room for new summer merch.

On the day itself, Grace and Patie let me know how sad they were Daddy didn't take them to get them sooner. We checked three Starbucks. No luck.

But, they were online. So of course I made the situation right. And it made the girls so happy. Who am I to keep them from happiness?

The patterns are perfect.
They're bone china.
They're a lovely way to make daily rituals special daily rituals.
