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,
Cecilia

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.
