Kristin’s Mugs~
Look closely and you can see a coffee stain in this mug! This is my happy mug and it was given to me on my Birthday from my kids. I drink my Americano out of it every morning.
This little baby was given to me by Chris Ann years ago. She bought it while she was in NY at one of our favorite stores, Fishs Eddy. I love to serve lattes in it for our guests!
Whenever we travel, we pick up mugs. Devon brought the black one back from Ukraine. The other two were from a trip to India. I love the texture!
Can you guess where these are from? I’ll give you a hint…the black one is fashioned after a favorite pint…of Guinness. Yes, these ceramic beauties were made in Ireland. A coffee shop we visited in Belfast used the Guinness mugs as their house mugs. We had to have one!
Those of you who have traveled to India would recognize these as tea cups. But, we leave them stacked right next to our coffee maker. When we have a house full of guests, this is what we use! They fit perfectly in the palm of your hand.
Here is one of the pair that I bought with Chris Ann at a craft fair in Minnesota. The other one is Devon’s morning mug. It’s either in his hand or in his truck. He has a double shot of espresso in his. His mug has little Nintendo controllers on it!
This is our newest addition. It doesn’t have a story…I just like it.
This little cup was picked up for .53 cents at a thrift store.
And this cup was given to us because those who know us, know we refer to our morning nectar as liquid love!
Chris Ann’s Mugs~
These are the Martha Stewart-colored mugs that I’ve had for almost 18 years. My husband and I bought them when we first were married. They remind me of the early 90′s. They have been incredibly sturdy. But, they’ve been replaced by these. These are fancy. They chip easily, but we don’t care. They are like small bowls. Perfect for our morning lattes!!
This is my bowl of bliss at home!
Our children needed little mugs too. So, we picked these out on a trip to Germany.
Kristin and I picked two pairs of these mugs out at an art fair.
Little owl mug is a favorite. I only have two. So sweet.
We can’t wait to hear about your favorite mugs!
Many of our mugs come from our travels and special friends and memories! Yes, our cups are fancy but, useful too! Our mugs inspire us by helping us remember friends and faraway places! That’s why we linked up with Melissa, at The Inspired Room! She likes to decorate with inspiration in mind, just like us.

Hi ladies – I linked one of my posts from *last March!* but it was so perfect for this I just had to do a little retro-posting.
Love this idea, and am completely obsessed with my mugs! I’m currently coveting a $25 one at Williams Sonoma…
It’s funny how much you can learn about a person by looking at just one aspect. In this case mugs. I don’t drink coffee, but I’d love to share a mug of something warm with either one of you. GREG
We collect mugs wherever we go too. They are such a great daily reminder!
Greg~ I am sure a chance to share a mug at the table is in our future…eventually!
Oh, my gosh! I love today’s post. I think coffee mugs are the greatest…each with their own history…and memories. I carefully choose the one I drink from based on my mood. Today I went for a large one because I wanted to keep my hands warm!
I love all of your mugs. As Greg said, they really do say a lot. About your creativity, your love of travel and most definitely of your passion for sharing a warm cup.
My favorite mug is one I got on my honeymoon in Cabo San Lucas. Painted ceramic, actually kind of touristy, but they bring back such great memories for me. I’ll be heartbroken if/when they break.
