MUG SHOTS, A COLLECTION


Life is too short to drink your daily cup of tea, coffee or hot chocolate out of a vessel that does not speak to you. So throughout the years I have taken to collecting MUGS, as opposed to cups. I find them here and there. Some are expensive. Some are cheap. Some have scenery, or unusual designs, others have inspirational verses or holiday decorations.  But they all cater to the mood I’m in at any given moment. This allows  me to enjoy the brew of my choice,  in a unique way, every time I reach for a different mug. What about you? Do you have a favorite mug to drink from? Or are you like me and vary it day to day? I have so many mugs I am running out of  space to store them. They line the cupboards, the walls, the countertops and tables. And one always sits on my desk. Take a gander. 

bears, balloons, flowers, cats
to name a few motifs

mugs spill out on the counter

stack up on the shelves
an anniversary mug is there
hidden away


a mug tree
anchors one end of the counter

holiday mugs

hubby's mugs
the one with planes
features the poem 
HIGH FLIGHT
on the back
fitting because my hubby was a pilot

they go all around and under the cabinets

today I needed a little christmas
given the COLD temps and snow
outside...
(with spring nowhere in  sight)
BUT was I drinking something warm
like TEA?
NOPE.
This mug in my hot little hands 
is filled with ICE WATER.

 but the teapot is waiting...
