T Stands For Black and White

 

 It's black and white!

I'm in a black and white mood today.  That's because I was at the Spice Merchant recently and saw photographed mostly black and white mugs.

I seem to be showing a bit of favoritism

to the kitties today.  Sorry all you dog lovers.  I DO love my cats.

More black and white.

Lots of black and white.  Love the mug behind the Mindful Morning Mug, too. It reads: Change the world.  Start with coffee.

Love the New Yorker and the cat.  It reads: Oh gosh! Yoga in twenty minutes.  Can't see either of mine doing yoga, though.

This is from the New York puzzle company, this time with penguins.  It reads: You're kidding.  I thought it was Friday.

Sorry this is blurry and you see my shadow.

I realize this is blurry, but it is the only one I took that had Toto and the red slippers on Dorothy.

This was the best I could get that wasn't blurry.  I love it, but would never pay $18.00 (USD) for it.  Not to worry.  I suspect it will fly off the shelves.

By now you probably know the "rules," but in case you don't, please show something drink related. It can be photos, a place you visited, movies, tea cups, coffee mugs, a tea or coffee service, postcards, books, magazines, sketches, mixed media, drawings, paintings, tags, ATCs, scrapbooking, or other art that is digital, hybrid, or traditional, as long as it in some way relates back to a drink, any drink.  Please share below and Bleubeard and I, along with the rest of the T gang will be by to visit.   Please link only your T post and not your blog in general.  Old photos are acceptable because they may be taken any time, not just on Tuesday, and not just this year.

More good mugs! It’s hard to resist buying them, but I manage. I recently rotated the ones on the top shelf and the ones on the in-use shelf so I have “new” ones.
Thank you for hosting. I hope you did get some rest and are no longer exhausted.
best, mae at maefood.blogspot.com

...how did those dogs get mixed in with the cats?

Those mugs are very nice but I wouldn't pa that sort of money for a mug either. I actually don't have any mugs. I have glass cups/mugs, if you will. Really large cups that I drink my tea from and also my coffee as I love a frothy top.
The Alice mug with the red shoes immediately had associations for me with David Bowie's song Let's Dance (Put on your red shoes). Remember that one?
Happy T-Day,
Lisca

These are some fun mugs. I actually like the black and white. I like all the dogs and all the cats. They have some fun faces, and there's a black dog with some white that kind of (too much white) reminds me of Mr. Pete. Have a great T day and week ahead. hugs-Erika

I favor the cat mug, too. ;)

Some very stylish mugs. And no, I wouldn't pay that price either.

$18 for a mug... no, I´d do the same as you did: Take pics :-) But really nice cups!!! I like the red shoes especially.
Have a great T-Day, dear host! Cheers

I just love the selection of mugs at the Spice Merchant. Of course, I'm taken with the cat mugs, but my favorite is Alice asking Dorothy where she got her fab shoes! Happy T Day

I love the red slippers on the black and white mug. Really pops.
My black and white mug says: Writer's Block: When your imaginary friends won't talk to you:) Have a great one, dear friend.
