What kind of mugs do you like?

Is it just me, or can anyone else not use a Christmas mug when it's not Christmas? I take it down from the shelf, take one look at the Santa Clauses and Ruldolphs in in red and green, and say, "oh no", putting it right back in the cupboard.

Why is that? I simply can't handle using it in the summer.



This brings me to another subject... some people need the whole matching sets of mugs that look uniformed and nice in the cupboard, and some people need a cute cup from each season and for each occasion. You know, one with a music note on it if you're a musician, a photo of your child on another if you're a mommy, a "world's best uncle" mug, a "happy valentines day" mug, a garfield comic mug, etc. My friend Becky and I were laughing about this, because she is the kind of person who needs a cute mug for each occassion, and her husband just wants all nice-looking, matching mugs. So what do you do? How do you work these things out in marriage? Have lots of mugs for both of you, I guess.



Ha ha. I like my mugs matching and pretty-looking, of course (I'm an artist, after all), either that or all hand-made, big, and rough-looking. And there's something about little espresso mugs & saucers that sucks me in each time.

Well, enough about mugs. Mugs mugs mugs.

What are your favourite kind of mug?
