For most of us, having time in the morning for a hot cup of coffee with toast is a treat. For Cinzia Bolognesi, it’s an opportunity to let her creative side free. Using a cookie for a moon or blueberries as stars, Bolognesi conceives a fairy-tale world with her drawings, food, and other items like flowers and leaves. The Italian illustrator tells a story with each sketch, keeping in mind, “imagination is key.” “One morning, some time ago, I was having breakfast on a black sheet that I normally use for work. Looking at that sheet with cookies on it, I started drawing some stories unconsciously,” she says. Her magical work is shared on Instagram with the hashtag [#littlecoffeestories][1]. And with each illustration, Bolognesi writes for her followers well wishes or just a simple greeting. After looking at her stunning work, it appears we are all drinking the wrong type of java.

[The longest journey] Part two Little Redhead had left for a while, looking for the place of forgotten thoughts. She almost gave up when she finally arrived at the place she was looking for: the land without answers It’s there where thoughts, certainties and security go when they leave us. Despite all it’s a beautiful place, enlightened by a thousands lanterns of the opportunities. #sketchingwords #littlecoffeestories Happy new week everyone:) A photo posted by Cinzia (@cuordicarciofo) on Sep 21, 2015 at 9:27am PDT

A comet passed through the sky. It was full of memories and voice that we had lost. August 2, 1980. Remember is the best antidote to the premeditated and malicious ignorance. Good morning friends. #inkatbreakfast #littlecoffeestories A photo posted by Cinzia (@cuordicarciofo) on Aug 2, 2015 at 12:48am PDT

[The longest journey] Part one Where is the place where thoughts go when they leave? Maybe they are hiding in the clouds or behind a star. Or maybe they fall downwards and disappear. However, the little redhead decided to go and find that place. #littlecoffeestories Have a good Sunday! A photo posted by Cinzia (@cuordicarciofo) on Sep 20, 2015 at 12:44am PDT

Sailing under a shaped cookie moon and sugary wind, I learned that even the banality is magical. Enjoy your coffee, slowly if you can. #inkatbreakfast #littlecoffeestories A photo posted by Cinzia (@cuordicarciofo) on Aug 11, 2015 at 12:17am PDT
