When I was a teenager, I had the amazing opportunity to visit Paris. While I was there, I got really into espresso. I’d had espresso-based drinks before but had never experienced it like I did at the Paris cafés - the espresso was served in a demi-tasse with a small pitcher of steamed milk and a tube of sugar. I think my favourite thing about the coffee bar is being able to replicate that now.
Sea Salt and Black Pepper truffle - this one is the best possible combination of sweet, spicy, and salty.
cayenne pepper truffle - these are my favourites
Turtle truffles, rolled in chopped pecans and drizzled with Ghirardelli caramel.
Nikki of Cabaret Chocolates was here making truffles and I had to take pictures of how beautiful they are. The truffles are available individually or in gift boxes. I know I would be delighted to receive a box of the cayenne truffles!
Today, I’m drinking a Gingerbread Latte, topped with cinnamon and nutmeg.
more crafty coffee goodness - diy coffee stencils. i can’t wait to try my hand at making some and then experiment with cocoa, nutmeg, cinnamon, sprinkles, etc!
cardboard wreath, made from used cup sleeves. what a clever way to reuse something that often gets thrown away. i love the different textures.

This is the basket that I’m donating to the Hands On Museum’s Night of Lights Gala. It includes two bags of coffee from Vienna Coffee Company, a handmade ceramic mug by Alex and Lisa Lapella, and a handknit coffee cozy by me. The Night of Lights is a wonderful event and is the main fundraiser for the Hands On Museum, so I really encourage you to go.
