The coffee goes to Trixx who said, “Would love to try the Colombian Light Roast. Yum!”

The gift certificate goes to Elena Mary Siff whose entry read, “What imaginative imagery..love the Dark Desert bag!”

Great big thanks to Cheyne and Thomas for sharing a bit of their exquisite partnership with our readers.

Love,
Beatrice and Violet
