T Stands For Random Mugs

 

I've got some random mugs from The Spice Merchant I recently ran across.

Let's start with a Starry Night.

When I rotated it, I was disappointed it was the same on both sides.  Note I failed to get a photo of Van Gogh's irises.

There doesn't seem to be any rhyme

or reason to the mugs on this shelf.  Maybe they were supposed to be for Dad, who got his own day this past Sunday.

More for Dad.

I'm sure some of you who have children can relate to the mug on the left.  I laughed at the one on the right.

I know someone who can relate to the mug on the left.  I think she can relate to the one on the right, too.

I wonder if some of you grandparents feel like that.

I've shown you mine, now it'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. 

 



I'm still waiting to hear if anyone wants to participate in our 12th Anniversary, which will be on July 14/15. For those who were not here last week, you can trade a postcard, a tea bag, or ATC within your own country to save on postage.  If your partner wants to send a postcard and you want to send an ATC, that is OK as long as both agree.

I'm always a fan of a good mug. That reminds me to use the one I picked up the other day in the next T Tuesday. Happy T day!

I'll join this year for the anniversary. I didn't join last year so it will be fun to be back. That's quite a collection of mugs today. and some perfect ones for me too. :) You can probably guess which ones those are, if you haven't already figured it out. :) Have a super T day my friend. hugs-Erika

Love the Starry Night mug! So nice. Just wanted to say, that I don't share my post on T Day, since I feel I always share the same drinks over and over. But I love visiting your blog. Happy T Day!

I love the van Gogh mug of course. And the others are quite funny.
Here we have Father's day on a different day, but I know that in the UK they celebrated it last Sunday.
Yes, I'd like to participate in the exchange. I didn't do very well last year, and I promise to do better this year.
Happy T-Day,
Lisca

Nice mugs, the first one reminds me of our visit to Amsterdam and the museums, even if the starry night is not presented there. Happy T-day and all the best

I wonder where they put all the mugs when they swap them out, they must have 1000s! Happy T Day!

I’m with Kokopelli — no new ideas for sharing drinks. But I do visit the other participants most of the time.

That Starry Night is THE best mug ever. (At least, so far!) I may have to order that one, not that I need another mug!
