First Mug Post!

Hey everyone! Welcome to Mug Finds! a blog about unique mugs!

So maybe you think I'm
crazy because I love mugs but hate coffee, but that's alright. Here's my story on how I got hooked on mugs...I was introduced to thrift stores when I was in high school but was not too fond of them because I thought it was weird (and kind of gross) to use something that had already had a previous owner. Don't get me wrong, I have an older sister who I had hand me downs from, but to have some clothes or other things from a person I did not know kind of scared me. Anyways, back to my story. In college I was encouraged by my boyfriend, now husband, to go shopping with him at thrift stores. He is the thrift store king and can find anything but I am not so lucky and always end up at the Brick-a-Brack section searching for something worth buying. Mugs always caught my eye and finally one day I bought one...and then another and then another. To make a long story short--flash forward to when I get married and my husband tells me I can only keep ten mugs. JUST TEN MUGS?! I dreaded the thought of this, but then thought I could make a blog and record all the mugs I find but can't buy. Thus this blog is created. Da da da da! (royal noise..get it?)

I am excited today because I photographed my mugs to post them on this blog. So here goes, one of my favorite mugs that I own.



Ahhhh, isnt she a beauty? This was the first mug a purchased in college back in '05. But to really appreciate this mug let's get a close up of her, shall we?



Just makes you want to visit Hawaii huh? Well..maybe not..oh well.

Anyways remember to send in any unique mugs that you find! Signing out for the first time! Yeahhh!
