I bought this set of teacups and plates (in my favorite color) from a local antique shop for Jon for Christmas because he had been musing that he’d love to sip espresso from something a little more refined than a beer mug. You could argue that this present was more for me than it was for him, and I would argue, what is wrong with that?
