Coffee Anyone?

I like strolling through the Etsy shops to see what others are doing. I have found that I go into shops I never would have even heard of when I just type one word in the search box. Today's word was "coffee" as I was thinking I needed another cup.

Look at some of the interesting things I found!

How about some "Donuts with Your Coffee" from Rosegardenfae. She makes lovely jewelry.

This cute "Man does not live by coffee alone" note card from BBesigns A red "cup of coffee journal" from the shop of Sue Bleiweiss who creates fantastic journals from all kinds of papers and textiles! A soy, fresh brewed coffee scented candle from Aroma Fields who also sells great bath products.
