I enjoy coffee – I have for a very long time. I like it hot in the summer and winter and I enjoy it cold in the summer or winter. But I don’t enjoy when my hot coffee gets cold. It can’t start out one way and turn into the other. I also don’t like to microwave my cup of hot coffee when it gets cold.
Those are a few coffee facts about me. Another fact is, I love coffee mugs! I really LOVE coffee mugs. If I had unlimited funds, I’d have a lot of mugs!
When my husband and I were first together, we’d pick up a mug when we traveled. That was our way of remembering where we’ve been together because we knew once we had kids, we’d forget a lot! My husband also travels for work a lot so a few of them are from his trips too. But those mugs aren’t for drinking – we have them displayed on a shelf for memories (see below). Our girls like to hear about the places we’ve been so it’s a good starting point for us. We have a few more that don’t fit on here so we may have to re-think a bigger shelf soon!
But that is not where my obsession collection of mugs ends. I have several others. We recenlty moved and I knew I needed to part with some of them and it was very hard deciding. But the plain ones that I never used or the older faded ones just had to go. It was hard. But now I have room to buy more (not sure that was the purpose of my purge!)
Of course with all the mugs in my cabinet I do have favorites. What makes them a favorite? Many things – color, size, design, logo “feel”…. For instance I love my Dunkin Donuts mugs….. every one I’ve ever owned, I’ve loved. But I love Dunkin Donuts so that is probably why. The one pictured below is one of my favorites as well (and I’m using it right now too!). I love the size, I like the logo and colors and I like the feel of it!
Like most other things, my favorites do change over time. But I love looking at Zulily everyday for new mugs. That is where I found the one pictured above. I do a search for ‘mugs’ and then I can see all the ones they currently have for sale.
What is your favorite coffee mug? Send me a picture, I’d love to see it!
