Do they even make percolators anymore?  I remember one sitting on my grandmother’s kitchen counter, and I think every church I’ve ever been to has at least one of the ginormous 30 or 60 cup monsters, but there isn’t one in my house.  We have lots of coffee-making devices:  two regular drip brew coffee makers, one 6 cup and one travel french press, and an espresso machine (two if you count the little silver stove-top one like they use in Europe).   This one is so charming that I’m willing to overlook the fact that it’s obsolete:

• Morning Cup stamp set
• Very Vanilla, More Mustard, Rich Razzleberry and Early Espresso (ha!) card stock
• Early Espresso Classic ink pad
• Blender pen and Stampin’ Pastels

I started out just fiddling around with the Stampin’ Pastels….it’s been a very long time since I’ve had them out of the drawer.  I liked the slightly uneven nature of the color even though I suspect it’s really Operator Error.  Don’t laugh, but this actually looks much better in person…from about 3 feet away.    I had such fun I tried it again:

• Morning Cup stamp set
• Very Vanilla, More Mustard, Rich Razzleberry and Early Espresso (ha!) card stock
• Early Espresso Classic ink pad
• Blender pen and Stampin’ Pastels
• Big Shot and Elegant Lines Textured Embossing Folder
• Victoria 5/8 inch crochet trim

I’m not ready to go back to percolator coffee, but I’m pretty fond of this little pot.
