How to train a coffee mug

Well first off, the title of this post is a lie. I mean, how can you train a coffee mug? "Here at MugFinds! We don't train coffee mugs, we find them." That is not actually the slogan of this blog either...wow I am full of lies today. 

Anyways, this next MugFind is from our one year anniversary, back in June. We took a wine train (get it..like the title of this post?! oh man am I funny!) and on the way back from the winery tour they put you in the dessert cart. Here is the photo I snapped:



As we all know this certainly was not my coffee cup because I don't drink coffee. This was however Royce's coffee cup and his hand. After showing him this photo, Royce has now decided to become a hand model. Best of luck to my husband and his hand modeling career! ;)

Engagment Coffee Mug

No, no I am not engaged again, but this next mug was sent in by someone who is, Hannah R!

Hannah sent in this mug saying, "this one is near and dear to my heart." Aww, sounds like such a cute mug, probably with some good memories too. Well, lets get a looking! And then we will start cooking. Are you good looking? Alright...I'll stop.


Whoa! Did you see that? Take another look at the mug. Still didn't see it, stare at it for another 30 seconds and you're bound to see it.

Okay, I give. There is nothing there but a really cute mug! A by-plane coffee mug to be exact. I love how the mug has a slight bulge all the way around. I bet it feels nice in your hands.

But wait! There's another side.


I am guessing this side of the mug is what makes this so near and dear to Hannah's heart. She was recently proposed to in a hot air balloon! How cool is that?!

Ever think about how a hot air balloon lands? They don't have a landing strip or wheels! Anyways, thanks for tuning in, see you next time at MugFinds!

Coffee in a camera?!

For those of you who know me, and those of you who don't, I love photography as much as coffee mugs. I know it's hard to believe but just go with me on this one. To combine the two together would be complete bliss. And guess what?! They did! You may be asking who is they? The photojojo store of course!

This coffee mug find comes from Brelinda M. and I can't thank her enough for it! If anyone wants to buy this coffee mug for my birthday in exactly one month, but who's counting?!, feel free to. ;)

Whoop! Here it is:


Isn't she a beauty?! Just thinking about this coffee mug in my hand makes me smile. 

Because I don't drink coffee, my coffee mug photo shoot, no pun intended, might look like the following two photos:


MmMmM....Hot chocolate!


Or adding a cute succulent inside would serve this coffee mug well. 

This is actually a great idea! I should start planting seeds in my coffee mugs! Royce is not a big fan of all the coffee mugs, if you can remember that story, so this would be a great idea for getting them out of the cupboard. Hopefully I'll try this out soon and get back to you on how it's progressing. :)

Thanks again for sending in links and photos of your own MugFinds!

The Office Mug

Picture this...you are sitting at work typing away at your computer when you get this great idea! You ask yourself, "Why don't they make coffee mugs from The Office?!" Well you are a bit too late too late on this idea because they already make such a thing. You go back to typing away at your computer.
[This part of MugFinds! fades out....]

[MugFinds! resumes] 
This next mug comes from Megan N. This is the actual coffee mug she uses at work.

I know you are dying to see it because 1. It has to be funny, I mean I already built it up to be a big thing AND 2. I know you can't stand when I draw out things to build up anticipation. 

Alright already, geesh! Here it is:


Beautiful isn't it? Was it everything you hoped for? Well I hope it was, because this is the only Dunder Mifflin coffee mug that I have received an image of.

Take care for now fellow coffee mug lovers!
