Espresso Italiano!
Just a bit of 'Saturday Silliness'! As with all my posts this started life as something entirely different and took a turn for the ridiculous when this espresso cup showed up. One of six, he was sitting in a shop in Rome, begging to come back to Australia. I was searching for an Illy set I had been coveting in Florence but when I saw this guy, I relented and bought the whole family.. six little espresso cups with a theme of Love and Film.
Somehow in previous posts dedicated to 'a trillion things about me' and 'what makes me happy as a fruitcake', I have failed to mention my addiction to coffee. Yes.. I love to partake in the brew. I admit I alluded to this addiction in my Blue Moon post, fuelling up on caffeine whilst stalking a rising moon, but somehow, I have neglected to tell you just how much this wondrous nectar is factored into my life. Even the smell alone can send me off in search of the perfect brew and prompt a pilgrimage to the land of the perfect coffee.. Italia!
I spent many days wandering the streets of Rome sampling the best it had to offer. Which is not hard.. I suspect it is harder to find a bad coffee in Rome than a good coffee in Sydney. Even the coffee in Rome International Airport runs rings around anything Sydney can offer.. [I know this as my plane home was delayed five hours]. Now Melbourne fares much better on the coffee scene with the Italian influence bumping up the stakes, but winter in Melbourne is too cold for a fragile Sydneysider like me! No.. if I must relocate for my coffee fix, Roma would be my first choice.
As I love my coffee so much, I thought I might do a few more posts on the subject.. I'm sure a photo or two of Rome won't bore you too much? Yes? No? Well either way .. that brings us to the end of 'espresso cups' from Casa Julie!! I'm off in search of a smooth Italian [coffee!!] and dreams of returning to Rome!
Have a great weekend everyone. Hopefully I'll be back for a Silver Sunday post but that will depend on whether I can get my teapots to speak to the camera and perform their balancing act on command !!

Production Credits:
Proudly presented by 'Ruby Time Productions'. Red Lips and great jawline were contributed by Ruby's mother who kindly propped herself on the shelf for the shoot.. Sadly neither the lips or jawline were passed down the genetic line! Cameo performances by Mr Clark Gable and Miss Vivien Leigh were shot in black & white due to lack of funding by the producers, however this effect is sympatico with the artistic integrity of the film and has not diminished the overall vision of the artist.
