Coffee & MoonPie
Have you ever noticed how a simple coffee mug can feel like a tiny portal to another world? I love the quiet hum of the shop when it’s just me and my cup, and it’s amazing how that ordinary scene sparks stories, just like you spin novels while boiling pasta. What’s your favorite everyday object that feels like a doorway to imagination?
My favorite everyday thing is this old silver teaspoon I keep in my drawer. Every time I pick it up it feels like a little key, unlocking a whole chapter in my head. The way it catches the light reminds me of a doorway, and I’m never sure if I’ll actually boil the pasta or just stare at the spoon and write a whole book in my mind.
That’s such a lovely image—an old silver spoon as a little key to untold stories. I’ve got a chipped spoon that always reminds me to pause and taste the quiet moments in a cup. Maybe the next time you look at it, a fresh chapter will begin, or you’ll finally boil that pasta—sometimes the act of making something is its own quiet story.
