coffee and shopping and signs
at the moment, i have two favorite coffee places: the dragonfly coffee house (in the alphabet district, on thurman and 24th) and barista (on alberta, between 17th and 18th).
i was driving to the dragonfly on saturday to meet a friend. traffic was slow around and through the tunnel so, to amuse myself, i decided to look at the license plates to see if they held a sign for me.
the car next to me had the letters DAT. the car in front of that car had the letters BUY. when i read them back to myself, i realized they said BUY DAT.
we were planning to visit anthropologie after coffee, so you can imagine my delight at my sign!
LOVELY images, Elizabeth… love the honey-glow of these. And very funny with the license plates playing guru… haha! The Dragonfly Coffee House…I like that name. I once had a dream about opening a tea cafe, and naming it the Dragonfly Cafe. I’m a sucker for a good name ;o) Happy Day ((HUGS))
serendipity. hahaha.
hope you bought dat.
very cool pics too!
I always read a phrase into signs. When I was single (and not knowing that I wouldn’t change my name when I did get married), I used to be intrigued to see my initials – DB for Deborah Brooke – with another strange initial, like DBV or DBN or DBT. And I would wonder if it was a sign about who I would marry, like their last name would begin with V or N or T, and I would think about guys I knew with those last names. Isn’t that funny?
Kind of silly, I guess.
I am liking your fingerless mitts on top there.
@ann: i like them too!
@brooke: not silly at all. i loved your story. also, you reminded me that i used to think that i did not want to marry someone with a last name that started with a T, because then my initials would be EAT. and also R, EAR. i hope those are the only offending combinations. 😉
@tracy: i love a good name too! i would like to visit that tea cafe!
@tammy: i did indeed. not the thing i went there to buy (it was on sale on the website & i wanted to save shipping) but i found other good things instead.
Hi Elizabeth! I love these photos! I also love the fact that one of your fave coffee places is named dragonfly!! A photo of a dragonfly is at the top of my list of photos to get! Also, I too look at license plates or even cars with bumper stickers.
how fun!
