Yes, I know it's February but I have opted to steer clear of any 'soppy' things I hold dear. Only because I am trying to think outside of the box and figure my wedding ring/husband/dogs are a given as being precious to me (although the ring may have its story told yet, short as it is)
I have opted to look beyond the obvious for my stories. Things that are part of my everyday life and make up my own 'story' eg: last months STS
I am guessing my obsession stems from childhood and the large amount of mugs that my parents had have. They had to be rotated by me as I hated hate that any are left out.
Look at you all. Waiting in line patiently until it's your turn to live in the 'tea' cupboard.
You like being there. It's not dusty. You get a bit of privacy. You know you will be used. You know you will be warm for a day when I am home and I sure keep you warm!

Fantastic collection of mugs! I like how you use them all in rotation! My friend has an obsession with mugs too but with her it's that everyone has the 'right mug' for them if they go to her house. She gets quite upset if she doesn't have the right mug to match their personality. Likewise she expects people to choose the right mug for her when she goes to their house - she has a specific mug at my house and if I ever put her tea in a different one I can see that she's uncomfortable drinking from it. Someone served her tea in a football mug once and she told me all about it - 'why did they give me that mug, I don't like football'.
ReplyDeleteJust so you know you aren't the only one with funny mug habits! I think they are endearing and a good part of your personality to document! x
What a fun post - it tells us a little about you and how you like variety. Me too. And as I sit hear sipping hot chocolate out of an Amazon travel cup, I realize it has a bit of a story too.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous photo that is - it's a stunner! The perfect way to illustrate your "precious" today. I like your thinking!
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous collection of mugs x
ReplyDeleteMany thanks for sharing.
oh wow..i used to have a small collection of these mugs, I wonder what I done with them! Brilliant photo and story.
ReplyDeleteMy cupboard is lowering its head in shame. There are only two mugs sitting in it, and you have a whole collection! Loved your story.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great collection of mugs!
ReplyDeleteA lovely collection of mugs! I love collecting mugs from places we go on holiday - then when I drink from it I can remember what a lovely time we had!
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing array of mugs. I have a shelf in my kitchen with all my most precious mugs on it.
ReplyDeleteWow you are a girl after my own heart, I LOVE mugs! When I was house hunting one of the properties I looked at was a maisonette, the woman who owned it opened the door to me and at the top of the stairs were lots of hooks, each hook held a mug, rows and rows of mugs! Being a collector myself I knew this was the house for me, 7 years later the hooks are full, the cupboards are full, the windowsills are crowded but I guess you know what I'm talking about there :)
ReplyDeleteI was at an auction the other night and saw loads of really funky teapots and thought I could collect these! i guess like mugs they can be connected to memories too!
ReplyDeleteI have very few collections (and no room to add to the ones I have), but I sure love looking at other's. Your photo is awesome!
ReplyDeleteWe have to thin our mug collection out regularly due to a tiny kitchen but your collection made me smile. Glad you ensure they all get their turn!
ReplyDeleteI love out of the box thinking, your post is fun and your picture gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great collection of mugs! I am happy that they all get a chance to shine.
ReplyDeleteha ha! I love that you rotate your mugs. Such a sweet story.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great collection of mugs and I love that you make sure you use them all. We have quite a few but it seems I always seem to use the same two.
ReplyDeleteI have a "multiples problem" about many things, but it wasn't until recently that I realized I had too many mugs! My husband pointed it out as we were cleaning out the kitchen cabinets. But there wasn't a single one I could get rid of. Each was special for a different reason. There are many that I am not even crazy about, but because they were gifts from someone special, I could never get rid of them. I like how you choose to look at yours! Some how that makes have a collection okay!
ReplyDeleteAre they all Disney mugs?....we are Disney fans here too!
