fortune in a cup


I love a tradition that involves a hot beverage, imagination and a long chat. When you reach the end of your dainty cup of silty Turkish coffee, it's tradition to flip your cup upside-down on its saucer, and examine the patterns formed by the grounds for signs of love, adventure and money.


I see dancing nudes, the Himalaya, a shirtless bearded man and a sea horse.
What do you see?

I see a pair of white cockatoos perched close together (or a heart). I also see a hedgehog sniffing a dainty foot…
Definitely see the sea horse and the dancing people.
Most of all I see a fabulous cup of coffee I so want right now! I can almost smell it as I look at your photos! :-p

szaza said...

Thank you, Çavlan!
Where is "The Scream"? I have to look closer :) I think it is reflective of how I've felt during this move!

Look in the upper left of the first image of the cup— you can see his chest and face. He's pretty large.

The seahorse is the big brown squiggle on the left of the cup in the bottom image.

Can you see it?
:)
