Hi Everybody!
Just a short blog today to show a few new tags for Tag Tuesday, where our theme - chosen by me - is travel. I hope more people will join in, you still have a whole week to join us. I had a busy day here, and am looking forward to a bath, bed and a good sleep.
My tags today were made from some ads for Nespresso. I prefer making my own coffee, but I'm sure these pods are good, too. And the coffee is being shown in Palermo and Milano. I cut squares from the adds and glued them onto some gold patterned paper I found in my bit box. I used some scraps of ribbons to finish the tags. The last one is a bit wobbly, sorry:
I'm glad we have nice, Italian cafés here, so I don't have to travel so far for a coffee!
Looks like they are getting ready for a town celebration:
That's all for today, friends.
Have a great day, take care,
and thanks a lot for coming by!
I've scheduled my Wednesday post with my tag on it. I like yours, and wouldn't it be fun to visit Palermo and Milan. Sit outside, enjoy your coffee...smile. And it's good you don't have to travel there for your coffee. Have a great T day Valerie, which I will say since you have so many coffee photos in this post. hugs-Erika
ReplyDeleteThanks Erika, I will look forward to your tag! I loved travelling in Italy. Yes, this is a sort of T Day Post!
DeleteGreat tags Valerie, I am tempted to try one, one day!!
ReplyDeleteYou could make lovely tags out of fabric scraps....
DeleteMajority time we have coffee in our home.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear it, coffee is always good!
DeleteLovely tags and photos
ReplyDeleteThanks Christine, have a great day!
DeleteWow, I LOVE how you recycled those boxes and turned them into tags. Brilliant.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos around the river, too.
As soon as I saw them I knew I could use them!
DeleteBeautiful photos and post, sending hugs
ReplyDeleteThanks Annie, hugs to you and Bella and her pups!
DeleteVery nice. I always like pictures of Europe.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Italy is a beautiful place!
DeleteHi Val, good morning. Love your tags, and that they are recycled. Hope you are feeling a bit better today, get plenty of rest! Hugs from us all, Sarah
ReplyDeleteThanks Sarah, have a great day, hugs to all!
ReplyDeleteYou do have a knack of recycling everything that crosses your threshold, Valerie, and that's all to the good. Not only recycling in your case of course, but creativity too, making discards into attractive tags and the like. Nice to see some birds in your post today, adding class all the way! I hope that you are getting lots of rest and restoring your strength to get out and tackle the next meal with Heike. No doubt it takes a lot of energy to eat all that food, but I know you can rise to the task. I am not sure what we will have for dinner tonight, but something Asian sounds good, so I am leaning towards that. Maybe a shrimp stir fry. Yesterday we went for a long walk, saw lots of wonderful birds and ran into a woman who has been on a few of my walks, a delightful lady. I was happy to see her again. On Saturday I will be leading a walk for a branch of the Kitchener Public Library, always fun with lots of enthusiastic participants. Say hello to Heike for me. Hugs and kisses - David
ReplyDeleteHi David. I love recycling, much better than spending money and buying supplies. Just got a lovely gold patterned box from heike, it will be used to make something good! Yes, we need a lot of energy to eat all that food, but it's always soooo good. Shrimp stir fry sounds good. Glad you met one of your acolytes on your walk, I'm sure she will accompany you on more walks. I think it's great that so many people are interested in nature and birds, wish it were even more! Have a lovely day, hugs to you and your long suffering Miriam.....xxxxxx
DeleteYour tags are great and I love that you recycled items to create them. I love the array of wonderful photos today as well. I can picture myself sitting on one of those benches just taking in the beautiful scenery!
ReplyDeleteThanks Carol, I often sit there and enjoy doing nothing!
DeleteGreat tags, Valerie! They remind me very much of your photos of your coffees with your girlfriend. It would be a fab way to chronicle a trip as long as you could sit somewhere with an iconic view, that is, lol. I have a few tags in the works, so stay tuned. Happy rest-up and week to you, xoxo
ReplyDeleteYes, drinking coffee seems to be my thing. Today I have been clearing up again, sometimes less is more.....hugs!
DeleteHappy Tuesday Valerie. Luv the tag. Cute ribbon
ReplyDeleteMuch💖love
Thanks Gillena, big hugs!
DeleteFabulous tags! The beautiful recycled views are the perfect way to enjoy a coffee with too 😊. Such wonderful weather you've been having, so nice to see your home town. Take care and wishing you a wonderful week! Hugs, Jo x
ReplyDeleteThanks Jo, have a great day!
DeleteFun tags. Nice to have your coffee in exotic locations without leaving the comfort of your favorite chair. Enjoy your day!
ReplyDeleteThanks CJ. Today I'm enjoying my coffee at home! Not exotic, but pleasant all the same!
DeleteI have been to Palermo back in the 1960's. I liked it. Your photography could easily be placed in a travel magazine. Love it.
ReplyDeleteHugs and Blessings
Thanks Jim! I loved Italy, too. Hugs!
DeleteGreat coffee tags and recycling-love all the Nature pics and some lovely places to just sit a while

ReplyDeleteThanks Kathy, hugs!
DeleteThe tags are great and so are your photos. I love the cafe picture.
ReplyDeleteThanks Debra, hugs!
DeleteI love those benches lined up. I'd definitely take advantage of that if one were available.
ReplyDeleteYes, it's a great place to sit and watch the boats going by.
DeleteAs always, your beautiful photos make me smile!
ReplyDeleteThanks jeanie, hugs!
DeleteFabulous art works and photographs Valerie, your town is looking beautiful! Take care and have a lovely week, Sue xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Sue, have a great week, hugs!

ReplyDeleteHugs Sandra sandracox.blogspost.com
Thanks Sandra!
DeleteHi Valerie, even the UK is going mad for coffee shops where as when I was a girl it was the tea shop for afternoon tea. I prefer coffee myself but there's something about afternoon tea that just feels so civilised, guess it's something from a different time. Loving your photographs and hope the rest of your week is happy too. Hugs, Angedla xXx
ReplyDeleteYes, when I was a kid Lyon's was popular for afternoon tea!
DeleteYour Tag are fab....My little town has loads of coffee shops, not all good though, I have a favourite called The Chart Room. the decor is Ocean Liner themed, early steamship travel, some wonderful pieces in there, no children allowed either, so kind of special.
ReplyDeleteNo children? Wonderful! Hugs!
