Talking about coffee drinking or chocolate or something on my show this morning, and somehow, can’t remember how, the topic of ‘your favourite coffee mug’ came up.
Let me just say that where I work the coffee cups are a disgrace. We have no such thing as a nice set of mugs to use for guests … we do, however, have two entire shelves of coffee mug melting pot. No two are the same. Some of them are disgraceful. Some of them I wouldn’t drink out of.
There are perhaps three nice, simple white ones that the entire staff fight over. First in, best mugged.
Anyway, for some silly reason I said, “Send me a photo of your favourite coffee mug!”
I think most of us probably have a favourite – one that we always go for first.
Since I asked, I’ll go first. This is from last Christmas. I love it. Large, light, thin china … nice edge on it. And of course I *heart* the reindeer on ice skates. I know one day it will get broken … and I will be sad.
Some mugs for your amusement:
It only has a ruler because that picture is old…and I was demonstrating that it is a #manmug and substantially larger than an ordinary coffee cup. Plus, rulers are awesome – why wouldn’t you want one in a photo?
You make a very good point. Next time I take a photo of my favourite coffee mug, I shall include my cat pencil sharpener for pure awesome. You put your pencil up it’s bum to sharpen and it meows. This indicates, perhaps, my low-techness. I prefer pencils. Real ones. In wood. Not plastic push-pencil rubbish. #oldskool

I have several favourites. The most recent is the I <3 Spreadsheets one that I got from Mat for my birthday!

Oh, I LOVE a nice, thin, fine bone china mug. I bought an inexpensive one from Target for myself for Mother’s Day once, and it’s by far my fave to drink tea from. Just took a pic of it the other day, and will post it on my blog soon – so stay tuned!
LOL so glad I’m not the only B & B tragic!
