Boy am I am good company! “Hi my name is Laurie and I am a mug addict!” I do have three favs right now.
For a big drink… my green sheep mug from Spunky Eclectic.
Next, is a hand made blue/white speckled mug that was getting tossed when my office was relocating. Love it!
Current favorite fav is a hand thrown pottery mug I picked up at a vendor fair at the kids school. It gets washed out and put next to the coffeee pot for the next time. Oh I need to get more right now!

I have 2 favorite mugs – one is a 10 oz glass mug with the chemical structure of caffeine on it (I am a bit nerdy). The other one is an oversize Starbucks mug my dh brought back for me when he deployed to Kuwait – it’s blue and white with “Kuwait” written all over it.

Yesterday I received my new favorite mug. I have been emailing author Barbara Delinsky. She just published a new book entitled “While My Sister Sleeps.” She sent me a mug…just because! I love to know that famous people can be as human as the rest of us. I will cherish the mugs….always!

My favorite mug is from “Life is Good” that I picked up at Cabela’s. It’s a lovely shade of pink with a cute red heart and says “Do what you like. Like what you do.” And it’s a nice hefty, curvy solid mug- I love it!

My favorite mug was given to me by a former boss’s sister-in-law. The mug reads “Super Secretary !”. Jessie was actually re-gifting, because she had received it when she was still able to work. Jessie had brain cancer and would walk the two blocks from her home to our office to see her sister-in-law, my boss. Jessie had a great spirit in spite of her illness and walked with a cane — making her weekly journey all the more special.

Within two years of her gift of the mug to me, Jessie passed away in the night with friends and family gathered around – during one of many recent “pajama parties” the girls in the family had been having with her as she lay in a hospital bed brought into her home.

I’m no longer a secretary, but each year’s “Administrative Assistant” day reminds me of Jessie and her sweet and strong spirit and her special gift. And I still have the mug with me, often prompting questions about why I have a “secretaries” mug.

Thanks for asking.

Sherry my favorite cups for tea are made by Denby in England. They are oversized and hold about twice as much as a regular tea cup. I have a matching teapot that I adore and rarely use for fear of breaking it.

They are celebrating their 200th anniversary this year. They make awesome stoneware products and I have a huge collection. For coffee – I like to choose one of my Denby mugs – they are so comfortable and feel so good in your hand and they keep items very hot for a long time plus their patterns and glazing are just beautiful quality works of art.

My favorite mug is one of a pair that I picked up years ago at either Costco or Sam’s Club, that was packaged with a bag of chili mix stuffed inside (I think I threw out the chili mix; I didn’t want that, I wanted the mugs!). One has fruits on the outside, the other has veggies. Not earthshaking, but they’re my favorites because they hold about 32 oz. Since I am not a morning person, and I have to get up for work at 6:30, that much coffee is required.

Now for aesthetic purposes, my favorite is my purple Squashed Fairy Mug, which resides on my desk at work. I got it from this lady, at the Great Pennsic War:

At work, I like to say that we can’t be visited by the Eff-up Fairy, because I squashed her. My colleagues are amused.

My favorite mug is a beautiful deep red mug big enough to eat soup from. It has white washed wintery twigs raised ceramic work. It was given to me as a gift with body products. I have had it for several years. I just love it. It brings me comfort
with soup and oatmeal in the winter for breakfast and coffee thru the day at work.
