#3goodThings
🧵 1/4

1. @StevenKennard finished the stereo cabinet he's been working on for us, and brought it into the house. It's made in solid maple, with the side slats in birdseye (érable piqué) and the rest of the frame, shelves and top in curly (quilted or tiger) maple. It's not easy to show it in photographs, but the figuring is really gorgeous and looks different depending on the light and the viewing angle. He has spent so many years making beautiful furniture for other people, it's a real joy to have this piece for our home. (It's not the first piece he's made for us, just the first in a long while.)

2. We enjoyed a delicious Mexican fair trade 'green' (organic practices) oat milk cappuccino with a 'superfood bite' that hit the spot! I adapted the usual recipe to include unsweetened chocolate chips and that really paired it perfectly with the coffee. The local shortage of 85% chocolate has left a hole in our morning coffee ritual and this has now filled it!

3. I ran (and jumped) for over 10 minutes as part of my morning workout today. For the first 250 steps (running after the workout) I wonder how I'd be able to go on, but after that, I felt I could almost run forever. Almost.

Have a lovely Sunday, everyone!
