Coffee Monday

Good morning,

Are you as fascinated by coffee art as I am?  Getting those beautiful coffee drinks with art swirled into the foam, it is almost too pretty to drink.  I found a website this week that showcases some of this latte art.  It is called Superb Cook and the article is titled

Adorable Latte Art – 19 Photos

This is one of the images from the collection.  Wow!

Good morning!

I found this pic on Pinterest and followed the link to the artist Tumbler blog, GDBee Arts.  
I love the colors and of course the dragon.  Plus it also appeals to my love of reading and drinking coffee.  🙂 Visit her blog for more beautiful,colorful art.

The artist caption for this piece is “Nothing like relaxing on a nice day with a good book and a faithful pet :)”

Coffee Monday

Good morning.

I seem to be on a coffee ice cream theme.  Last week it was Vietnamese Coffee Popsicles   This week I came across an ice cream recipe titled:  No Churn Coffee Toffee Fudge Swirl Ice Cream.  Wow! Doesn’t it look amazing?

It reminds me of one of my favorite Ice creams I would get as a child.  This no churn recipe sounds easy and delicious.

I found it on the website Celebrating Sweets (by way of Pinterest – of course).

Click here to go to their website for the recipe and instructions.   Celebrating Sweets website logo

Let me know if you try it and what you think.

Enjoy,

Dragon Thursday Update

I happened to be having one of those sleepless nights and checked my email super early this morning.  I found a wonderful surprise.

I recently ran two Dragon Thursday posts, here and here, featuring an artist  named Lauren.  Their website is Iguanamouth.  I also mentioned that their web store was sold out.  Guess what?  It is restocked and ready to go.   Unfortunately , I did not see the Hoard of Squirrels for sale this time, but I found two Dragon Hoards  (I had to limit myself.  It was hard!) and the Dragon Fruit stickers.  So cool!

Grab a cup of coffee and go shopping!

Dragon Thursday

Pinterest is an amazing place to find things.  I am always on the look out for all things  dragon.  Lately I have been on the search for unusual dragons and I have been very happy with the results. This week I would like to share a new (to me) artist with you, Stanley Morrison.  Mr. Morrison is a fantasy artist.  I love the creative ideas he has for his dragons and the colors are gorgeous.   This week I would like to share his garden dragons.

One that stood out is titled Peppers Dragon.

Coffee Monday

We are in the middle of summer here and everyday the temperatures have been  in the upper 90’s.  I love hot coffee, but sometimes it calls for something cooler in the mornings.  I have posted iced coffee recipes here and here.

This week I found a recipe on Pinterest for  Vietnamese coffee Popsicle’s from A Spicy Perspectives Blog.  They look fabulous.

Now I have to go find my Popsicle molds. 🙂

Dragon Thursday

Last week I shared some wonderful Fruit Dragon art by Lauren of Iguanamouth

I took a tour of their site and they have so much cool art.  I found a section titled Collections

One that caught my eye was called Unusual Dragon Hoards

These look to be mostly commissioned pieces and they are awesome.   There are six pages in this collection and there are so many that I love.  I chose this one because it reminds me of an author that I associate with squirrels and thought – Oh, I have to tag Freddy with this.  😀  Some of the hoards are whimsical, a couple are risque but they are all fun.  Take some time to look around and visit their shop:

Dragon Thursday

The fruit theme continues.  This week the art is a bit different from last weeks fruit dragons.  These dragons are the fruit.  I think this is pretty cool.

The artist name is Lauren and their tumbler page is called iguanamouth

You can find her fruit dragons here:  (click on the dragon fruit dragon and then click the top dragon pic.  It gives you a nice enlargement of their other dragons)

Dragon Thursday

I seem to be on a fruit dragon theme.  Last week I found the pink dragon while looking for information on dragon fruit.  Then a friend showed me some lovely artwork of fruit dragons, so I went to Pinterest to see if I could find out more about the artist.    (I think you can find almost everything on Pinterest)

The artist is Alexandra Khitrova.  Her DeviantArt page is GaudiBuendia

You can find her fruit dragons here:  (Click the cute cherry dragon)
