Mug Monday

Valerie of AcornMoon and Pat of Weaver of Grass

are hosting a Monday roundup of favorite mugs.

Awfully hard to photograph a mug.

Above: the mug I actually drink my tea out of.

This is a picture of a mug which haunts me.

Tragic Mug Haiku

Coronation Day

they gave me a mug alas

dropped the same day

ps: all my friends did not break their mugs, and were forced to drink milk out of them every day.

A Nice Cup of Tea

Several people have recently posted pictures of their favorite teacup or coffee mug.

This might seem trivial but I think teacup choices reveal all sorts of things. 

And I enjoy little glimpses into private worlds.

If my  favorite mug is in the dishwasher waiting,  I get it out and rinse it.

(What a thrilling life I lead.)

People who simply don't care -- or go with a paper cup  -- are missing something. 

So:  Villeroy and Boch Audun/ Ferme.

Bone china. PG Tips.

Images of an 18th century farm in France. 

I know, I know. Real life for farm workers must have been grim and grueling - chapped hands, bitter winds.

It's just the idea of cows, sheep and milkmaids.

Shades of the Petit Trianon.

Your favorite mug?
