Good Monday Morning to you! I hope wherever you are, it is a bright, beautiful day! Here in Michigan, it is cool, crisp and the leaves are beginning to change color. It's hands-down my favorite time of the year. I always feel re-inspired and energized by the brisk temperature and the changing of the season.
This year is especially energizing for me, as I've moved into a little studio space in Old Village, which is part of my hometown of Plymouth, Michigan, but has it's own unique charm. Most of the buildings in Old Villiage are from the early 1800's (this will be a future Mojo Monday post!) . Anyway, Plymouth has a cute little downtown and on it's main street, Penniman, it has a lovely coffeeshop, The Coffee Bean. The Bean is in a big old white house, with creaking wooden floors and comfy furniture.

The charm of this place cannot be overstated. Out front are little wrought iron chairs on a big porch, and in front of the door, is a chalkboard where people can leave each other little love notes, like this one...
Don't you love it already!?!
Once inside, the aroma of Pumpkin Spice Latte's and Cranberry Scones (my two favorites) envelope you... Donna, the sweet manager, takes her time with each drink, lovingly making each one as if you were a special friend who came over to her house for coffee. I think that is why I love this place so much...their motto is "friends don't let friends drink Starbucks!" LOL!

Today's trivia question was "What is the First Day of Autumn Called?" I got it right! The Autumnal Equinox... :) I felt pretty proud.
Here are just a few of the reasons I love this place so much! I hope you enjoy it as much as I do and perhaps it will spark some creativity in you somehow?
Hugs!

Looks like a charming place to have coffee with a friend!
