Several years ago I saw this book at a local coffee shop.
At the time I was trying to think of something to get a friend for Christmas. Thus was born Harebrained Scheme #437. Buy book. Give to friend. Include note that you will take her to each of these places and buy her a coffee. Book will be used to record experiences. It will be fun.
There are 17 places in the book. We have been to 9. Two of them are closed. We have 6 left to go.
The project was supposed to take a year. It has been 3 years since we started. The problem is once you find a few great places you want to go back again and again and you don't try hard enough to get to those out of the way places. But we are NOT giving up.
We are committed to completing this coffee journey.
One table and one cup at a time.
The best laid plans... bravo for conceiving of this plan! And I know you WILL complete it! Lucky friend!

What an incredible idea and I am afraid I may "steal" it for a gift to one of my sisters.
Happy sipping ~

What a great idea! The book is nice; going to all of them together MUCH better; commemorating the visits in the book -- genius. :-)

I did it! I found a copy on Amazon and bought it for my best friend's bday in October. But I don't think I can wait....this is too good! I guess it will be a 1/2 bday gift. Can't wait to fill this book up with fun memories. This is genius. Thank you, Carol, for sharing this great idea!!
