Mug Monday

Elizabeth at About New York invited me to participate in Mug Monday which is being hosted by Valerie of AcornMoon and Pat of Weaver of Grass.

I have discovered that it is actually quite difficult to properly photograph a mug. Hard to place decoratively. Hard to avoid glare from too much light.

A much loved and much used gift from MamaMia. Quite appropriate.
Good for drinking either coffee or tea.

  1. What an unusual mug. Greetings from Wales, UK (& isn't Mug Monday a fun idea?).

    Oh my! How perfect for you. A wonderfully well chosen gift and so unusual too. I think my fav mug has to be the big rainbow striped one I got in York from a fair trade shop last year.

  7. What a great mug! And I'd never thought before about the difficulties of composing a mug shot (ha -- sorry), but this picture turned out beautifully :)

    Don't we all have fave mugs, but this cable knit mug from a loving child to many-talented Mum brought tears of the heart. Afraid my instinct would be to set it aside as treasure, but in waning years learning to enjoy today--so, hope you use it.
    Your ph'graphic talents soar--looks perfect to me!
    Joy to you and Praise Him.

    I love that mug. I enjoyed your blog and looking at those wonderful beach pics.

    It is so hot and humid in WV today.
