yikes! stripes!

            the very first time i went to london, i fell in love with a cornishware measuring cup at harrods.  being 20 and poor, it didn't seem like a responsible idea to purchase the beautiful cup.

the second time i went to london, i looked for the cup again.  again, i loved it.  but even though i was a little older - 25 - i was poorer than before and it seemed even more irresponsible of me to buy a fairly expensive decorative measuring jug.

the third time i went to london (just last month), i was ready to buy.  we went to harrods. we went to selfridges.  i looked in cooking shops on high streets.  28 and able to purchase, but all shops were out of stock.  just my luck.

well, today is my 29th birthday, and over 8 years since i had originally fallen in love with the blue striped cornishware measuring jug, my thoughtful husband tracked one down (with the help of two friends living in london - THANKS DAN & SUE!) and presented it to me at breakfast.

i love thoughtful gifts.  this one is special.  thanks to everyone, especially christian :)
