French bread on Friday.

☔☕🥖Bonjour December!

This simple morning ritual of styling a board is slowly becoming the cornerstone of my day. As soon as Mr D leaves for the bus, I throw a load of wash in, pour a cup of coffee . . . and style my little story.

As you can see by the image above, I have a habit of turning walls into collages.  My walls are layered with stories. (Maybe a little too many 😘.)

Preset Style = “It’s Technical” Format = 6″ (Medium) Format Margin = None Format Border = Straight Drawing = Technical Pen Drawing Weight = Medium Drawing Detail = Higher Paint = Natural Paint Lightness = Auto Paint Intensity = Normal Water = Tap Water Water Edges = Medium Water Bleed = Minimal Brush = Natural Detail Brush Focus = Everything Brush Spacing = Wide Paper = Graph Paper Texture = Medium Paper Shading = Light Options Faces = Enhance Faces

This morning I am sipping . . . frothed coffee . . .

Have I told you about my milk frother?  Found it last year . . . here.    

I keep a shaker of cinnamon and sugar . . . a shaker of sugar mixed with a splash of pumpkin pie spice . . . and . . .  I need to make a fresh batch of  Emilie’s (The Clever Carrot) recipe for vanilla sugar! Emilie’s recipe, makes a lovely host/hostess gift this time of year.

The sugar blends are good  to have on hand to sprinkle a top frothed coffee and oatmeal.

On an occasional Friday, I sprinkle a little atop a slice of fresh or toasted buttered French baguette . ( petite portion, of course)
