Oh, it’s hard to return to bleak “normal” reality from the all-inclusive food paradise… Nobody seems to be eager to bring you a Mimosa with your breakfast. And who’s gonna make that breakfast, anyways? No spicy paella for lunch, no cherry pie for desert after fancy dinner…. Ooo, and don’t get me started on the dishes. Nobody, you hear me? NOBODY is doing our dishes, imagine that! Of course, if the dishes themselves were as pretty as the ones I’m about to show you, perhaps my attitude towards them would be slightly different…






But who (especially after a 10 day vacation in paradise) has so much dough left for these pricey beauties? So, most likely, I’ll take a hint from the lovely Jess at How about orange… blog and brew my own cup of doodle joy… Let’s just hope it’ll make the whole dishwashing thing a bit easier on my tired from resting mind and body.

Oh, and just so my freshly (not yet) doodled cups and plates won’t feel so lonely on my half-empty table, perhaps a couple of these adorable and clever placemats from etsy?
