A photo essay from Carter Bellaimey with an espresso cup by AKU Ceramics that has become part of everyday family life.

Carter Bellaimey told us why these cups are the gift that gives to him.

I love these cups, they’re so beautiful and the perfect size for coffee in the mornings — and they’re the kind of thing you’re mad is in the dishwasher and not ready to use again.

We also asked what Carter had his eye on from the store to add to his collection?

I really love the Lily Pearmain Ceramics butter dish… if only lactose loved me back. (We hear you!)

Happy Thanksgiving Carter!
