Coffee in the am

Here’s to Fall! My favorite time of year when I love to keep cozy with knitting and coffee.

Did you know that National Coffee Day is this Saturday September 29th? Most days I gulp down a cup of coffee on the way out the door and have some at my desk while reading work email. But Saturdays, I’m more likely to enjoy a bit of quiet knitting, reading, or writing while savoring a strong cup of jo.

Thanks to Tully’s Coffee, I’ve been enjoying some really wonderful French Roast k-cups. The lovely people from Tully’s coffee want you to enjoy some good coffee too and are sponsoring a giveaway (for U.S. Residents).

To enter, just leave a comment on this post with a valid email address by 6 a.m. Pacific Time Sunday September 30th. That’s all. The winner will be chosen using random.org and you will have 24 hours to respond with your U.S. address to send the prize. Tully will send you the items in the picture below:

This giveaway provided by Tully’s will include two blends of coffee and a journal – either be K-cup packs or bagged, depending on your preference.

I have been pleasantly surprised at the quality of the Tully’s K-cups – The french roast is a nice strong brew. And they sent me a journal as well and it is the perfect size to carry in my bag.

Speaking of brew – the cowl above is a great simple knit that I am in love with because of the gorgeous Socks that Rock yarn in the “Witch’s Brew” colorway. The pattern is a basic 3×1 rib that is coming along quite nicely.

What’s your favorite way to enjoy coffee?

UPDATE: Giveaway is now closed – Hope you had a great National Coffee Day.

Congrats to Lynn – I’ll be contacting you to get your info – Yay!
Congrats to number 2 - Lynn

Happy Birthday Lego – My favorite toy and gift to give.

Apparently yesterday was not only National S’more’s Day but also Lego’s birthday. I start giving my nieces and nephews Lego (Duplo) at about age 2. And a small Lego kit is included in every Christmas socking (Santa is smart that way). Lego’s store in Downtown Disney was recently remodeled. Check out the awesome sculptures inside, outside, and around the store. All made from the standard-size bricks.
