Today I'm Thankful For... Special Mugs
Do you have a favorite mug? I do, or rather several. For tea, I love the beautiful posies-and-poppies cup my sister brought me from England. For cappucinos, I love a six-ounce cup with strawberry flowers. And for random beverages--cider, hot chocolate, steamers, chai--I love this recently thrifted mug with a perplexing image of a bird and butterfly. It has thick walls which hold heat remarkably, a nearly-unreadable stamp on the bottom indicating that it was crafted with care, and has lately been filling me with joy each time I use it.

Hi Emily,
The bird on your cup looks like a pheasant!
It is interesting you should mention mugs. I have just sat down with a nice cup of coffee with my favourite stripy mug and read your post! ;-)
It is multi coloured from Whittards. If you have visited England you will know the tea and coffee shop.
Thank you for following my blog, lovely to catch up with you again.

I have a special mug - it is from the Seeing Eye in New Jersey. It is nice and big and heavy - perfect mug!
I'm enjoying the deep rose-colored one from Garth Mansion. Good memories, and the handle fits my hand perfectly. For tea? Definitely the English cup from you know who :-)
@ Joanne--you're right! It does look like a pheasant. I have not visited England--yet--but have every intention of doing so in the future.
@ Indy--there's something about a heavy, thick-walled mug that seems more fulfilling!
@Seedsower--Hi lady! I love those mugs you brought back from the Garth Mansion.
yes, absolutely have a favorite mug. perfect for my tea and makes me so happy every time i use it. this one is really pretty!
