Coffee Cups and Art

New in my Living Room

Recently, I haven’t had any drink-centered photos to share with Elizabeth’s Tuesday Drink blog party, but today is different. First, in my living room, a new way to hold a cup of tea or coffee.

This is my new coffee and tea cup holder that fits over the arm of the couch.
Len made it for me last week.




Also a good place to leave my iPad…

… or snacks like this jar of goldfish crackers.

In the Museum Shop: Mugs

  1. Len is super clever. Brilliant idea. I need another mug like a hole in the head but I think I might just have to one day visit that museum shop!

  2. You got a great cup holder for the armrest - well done, Len. I always have my mug or glass in the book shelf behind me, so it's not that easy to get. Your solution looks so much better.

  3. That is a great armrest shelf. I've seen pictures in catalogs, but Len's looks very sturdy. The tuxedo cats are very cute. I wonder if the museum shop does online ordering? I'll have to check that out. Happy T Day

  8. This is wonderful... such a practical coffee and tea cup holder for the sofa. My husband likes to do crafts, I show him. Absolutely great when watching films from the sofa at home... I like it :-)
    Thank you and best regards to you. May you enjoy your tea with joy.
