It is no secret ..
~ ~ I LOVE COFFEE!!
While in France during our fabulous “tour and buying trip” . .
~ ~ I found a great antique French coffee grinder in a quaint shop in Honfleur.
I was drawn to it as it was a beautiful blue . .
~ ~ I have never seen one in blue before.
Well that may be because . . .
~ ~ the lovely shopkeeper told me that the color blue on these grinders are uncommon.
Hmmm. . . loved it even more!
My sister, Betty Ann loves antiques and all things French Country.
Prior to leaving for France, it was my sister’s birthday . .
~ ~ and did not get a chance to send her a gift.
* * HAPPY BIRTHDAY BETTY ANN * * 🙂
Note: Batteries, breadboard, and tea towel not included. 🙂
Have a wonderful day!!
That is a nice one and what a special gift.
Pretty! I sure wish I could have been on that trip with you! You found some great treasures! I bet your sister will love it. 🙂
Hugs,

Such a sweet present! The blue is beautiful!! I’m sure your sister is going to love it!~
What a lovely surprise for your sister! She will love it!
what a nice gift for BettyAnn. Wow, it’s really a great find. Does it really work?
I bought a coffee grinder very similar to yours several years ago in Italy. It was red, and one of my daughters decided it would be perfect in her kitchen. Hmmm, now that I think of it I haven’t seen it in a while. Hope she still has it and I can reclaim it.
What!? You’re giving it away? Lucky sister…you must love her alot. ALOT!
Aww, what a perfect gift, and perfect sister!! Isn’t the coffee in Europe the best?
Shirley, what a lovely, unique find-and such a thoughtful gift!!

Ahhh that is so neat Shirley! I love coffee too, and that is just an awesome grinder to have!
What a beautiful, unique and totally thoughtful gift Shirley! Your sister must be thrilled! Did I mention last week was my birthday?? Maybe you can find another one ;).
I am more of a tea drinker. But your site is so beautiful, it makes me want to start drinking coffee!
I’m in love!!! Blue tends to do that to me. 😉
I really like it… Has a vintage feeling to it…
