T Stands For Mugs and Cards and Honoring Memorial Day
For those of us who live in the states, today (Monday) is the culmination of a three day weekend honoring Memorial Day. It is a bit like a British Bank Holiday, except this is a federal holiday. For those who don't know, Memorial Day honors all U.S. military personnel who died in the line of duty while serving their country. Do not confuse this with Veterans Day, celebrated on November 11 each year, which honors all military veterans, both living and deceased. Memorial Day honors only those who died while serving their (my) country.
Now, please join me again at The Spice Merchant.
The last time I visited The Spice Merchant,
all the Mom and Dad mugs had been replaced with other mugs. Looks like I found wild animals.
At the end of this specific section,
I found a rack of cards.
I thought some were very clever and positive.
Then it was time to pick up my coffee and head to the cash register with my coffee card. I seldom if ever find the same display twice.
Nowit's time to share your own drink
related post. It can be
photos, a place you visited, movies, postcards, books, sketches, mixed
media, drawings, paintings, tags, scrapbooking, or other art that is
digital, hybrid, or traditional, as long as it in some way relates back
to a drink, any drink. Regardless,
please share below and Bleubeard and I will gladly visit, as will other T
participants. Please link only your T post and not your
blog in general. Bleubeard would like to remind you that old
photos are acceptable because they may be taken
any time, not just on Tuesday and not just this year. Please remember to visit your
fellow T participants.
Don't forget to dig up your Second Look on the 2nd. The only requirement is it must have been published sometime in the past.
Happy T day. Thanks for hosting the party. There are several mugs I would like to have. I don't know where I would put them, but I would like them. LOL The best sign, Life isn't about finding yourself..... I always wondered why people would say they are doing this or that to "find" themselves. Anyway, I hope your are feeling well and that your garden is growing.
I hope you had a nice long weekend my friend. They certainly have a super selection of mugs at the Spice Merchant. Animals is a good choice for now, but of course Father's Day has yet to arrive. And those cards have great quotes. And I also noticed the yellow step stool. I love any place that has one for someone short. Being short myself that is. I hope you have a great T day and week ahead. hugs-Erika
We - kinda certainly - don´t have anything like Memorial or Veteran´s Day. Which is not right, considering that most men were forced to fight. That or their families were in danger. I wish some day "leaders" are forced to step up themselves and not use "their people" to fight. The world would be peaceful, I reckon. Just imagine little Putin would stand eye to eye with Zelensʹkyj...
Your Spice Merchant certainly does a great job, changing his display that often! I really would love to visit (or... rather not. It´s like a book store, way too "dangerous" - I would likely buy something every time!)....
Dear Elizabeth, this place is truly a treasure trove! I like the animal mugs - but I especially like the cards with the wise sayings! All the best and happy T-Day, Traude https://rostrose.blogspot.com/2024/05/weltreise-2024-immer-noch-tasmanien.html
Happy T Tea, hope you had a nice long weekend. We also had a four day weekend here for the Bank Holiday but it rained every day. I sent you a birthday card about 6 weeks ago, and I hope it hasn't gone missing. I sent Erika's at the same time and hers arrived a few weeks ago but I think mail to your neck of the woods seems to take longer so there is still hope. ~Elle
Oh My!!! Those mugs are so brilliant, live the cat ones and all the others as well! I'd spend hoursin thos shop!! Have a great wek, Happy T day!! hugs ((Lyn))
As I do not live in the US, we don´t have a memorial day here. Does not matter. I am retired, so every day is free LOL. So many mugs....I ask myself, who should buy all these and drink tousands of litres coffee or tea ? Have a good time and all the best Violetta P.S. Do you have a seperate link party for the Second Look?
I always have mug-envy from your trips to the Spice Merchant! The cupboard would be over full with cups if I ever got there in person. It's good you offer us arm chair visits. I have the second post up of the Chihuly glass exhibit it you get a chance to visit.
Wow, so many beautiful mugs! It took a while looking at all the different designs - love them all 😊. I hope you are keeping well and sending you happy and creative wishes! Hugs, Jo x
Your thoughts are very important to Bleubeard and me. I appreciate it when you care enough to stop by and even more when you leave a short message letting me know you were here.
I don't want to ever turn on comment moderation, so when I find comments that don't relate to my blog content, your comment will immediately be deleted.
Happy T Day, Elizabeth!Have a good week, Valerie
