A Word, Clutter, Still Life & White Coffee

For some reason, I believe, we latch on to words meaning things they are not. I thought a vignette, aside from a photo, is a small display similar to a still life. There may be a similar word that I’m just forgetting at the moment. 

The vase, ivy and faux flowers would make a nice still life painting. Maybe my clutter is just a matter of surrounding myself with art. 
😂



A fun experience happened yesterday. Remember the one about how distracted folks poured orange juice in their cereal? 
Well, I was going over in my mind about what I was going to do that day while making my first coffee. Out of instant, I boiled water for the French press. Cup ready, with a dash of sugar and half&half, I’m waiting, thinking, waiting. And before I know it,  pouring hot water right into my cup.
I stared at the cup for a second wondering why my coffee is white!
😂 
Then I took the coffee out if the fridge and put some in the French press that, btw, is not my cup.

  1. I do like that photograph, how it's lit, the colours ... they all work well together.

    All the best Jan

      The sunshines on that spot the best. It’s a good place for sunlit pictures.

    1. Jeanie,
      Thankfully being distracted isn’t an age thing. I still cringe remembering wearing pajamas under my dress walking to grade school. 🤣

  4. Wish I had a picture of the expression on your face when you first saw your white 'coffee'!

    1. Maryanne,
      Spot on! 🤣
      The second I realized my mistake, I felt like an idiot for staring at the white coffee. Not my swiftest moment.
