Espresso with French Macarons

Still winter, even if we don't have the extreme cold here in the South...

What picks us up better than a cup of Espresso?

Got these Espresso cups years ago from dear Friend Engracia...

So here they are being used for some Espresso and French Macarons!

It is already a bonus when there is light and even better, some sunshine!

Found just enough fragrant daffodils in our garden for filling a tiny silver vase...

On a lacquered tray, a gift received while I was in Japan.

My tiny Gero Zilmeta 528 Menuet demitasse spoons are the right size for these espresso cups - IF sugar is needed.

Found these yummy French Macarons at Costco and they were excellent!

Have not yet made my own...

Also gathered some of our special pink Camellias while I was in the garden.

A close up of their special vase with just 3 pipes that hold each flower.
It is the Camellia Japonica Debutante

My perfect lacquered tray from Japan.

with the reflection of the kitchen lamp in it and my hands...

These Espresso cups are YAMASEN JAPAN, gift from a dear friend Engracia.

Wishing you stay cozy during these winter days!

For the southern hemisphere, enjoy your summer.

ROYAL UPDATE: Fairmont Château Lake Louise provides the highest courtesy in every way!

Yes indeed, a ROYAL UPDATE was received on December 28, 2018 from the Fairmont Château Lake Louise - AccorHotels Group!

A very courteous note, for letting me know that the correction has been completed.
Even with snapshots, which I use in this post.

The CORRECT info above.
Now the info about H.R.H. Princess Louise is historically correct with her being the fourth daughter and NOT the oldest as I've found it written, while staying at the Château Lake Louise in September, see my post about that below.

Feeling very proud of this accomplishment!
Had to share this with my readers...

Thanks for your visit and comment!
