A trip home for a wedding this weekend, which was just lovely. The icing on the cake though, was that I myself got given a present. After posting a while ago about a vintage coffee pot and matching ceramic filter, my Mum presented me with a lovely modern version in sweet baby blue.

She confessed she’d intended it as a birthday present, but thought better of it when she saw I’d bought myself this coffee pouring best in Japan.

Imagine how I laughed at the idea that having one beautiful coffee making contraption means you’re not in the market for a second. I also have a classic silver stove top thingy and a mini pink Bodum French press. I adore them all. Thanks Mum.
