T Stands For Mugs, Mugs, Mugs

 

 On a recent trip to The Spice Merchant,

these mugs caught my eye.
 
I'm not seeing much of a theme here.
 
Maybe it's the shape 
 
that makes them stand out.
  
I'm not sure that square shape would entice me to warm my hands on one of those mugs on a cold morning.
 
However, the kokopelli really caught my eye.  In case you didn't know, Kokopelli is a fertility deity used by some Native American cultures in the southwestern United States, often depicted as a humpbacked flute player with feathers or antenna-like protrusions on his head.
 
I've shown you mine, now it's your turn to share your T entry this week.  The rules are extremely simple.  Your drink related post may be anything from a photo of a glass, cup, or mug, to an actual drink.  You may choose to share a sketch or a digital, hybrid, or traditional page in your scrapbook, art journal, or altered book.  Maybe you'd prefer to share a tag, or wow us with your photography.  You might choose a postcard or decorated card.  You might even draw an image on a used tea bag.  Or perhaps you prefer to review a place you visited, a movie, or book.  It makes no difference as long as it's drink related.  And don't forget that the more unique and outside the box it is, the better we like it.  Please tie it back here, and please link only to your T post, not your entire blog.  When you link, Bleubeard, the T gang, and I will be by to visit.   Bleubeard would also like to remind you that your photos may be taken any time.  

 

Once again I would be remiss if I didn't remind you that it's time to dig up your Second on the 2nd.  Any genre, any theme, any length is acceptable, as long as it has been published sometime in the past.

  3. I would seriously have to take a loan out if I want shopping here. I WOULD need a least 2 of every mug. LOL Thank you for hosting T day and I hope you are doing well.

  4. I like how those mugs look more like hand thrown pottery. They would be tempting to shop, but how could anyone pick one out from all those choices? I like the daisy one that's in one of your photos. Happy T day, and I hope you feel better this week than you mentioned last week. hugs-Erika

  7. Like Erika, I think the mugs you showed all have a hand thrown aspect, which makes them attractive. But mugs at the Spice Merchant are quite expensive, so I might be tempted to get a real hand thrown mug if I was going to spend a lot of money on a mug. But they are very attractive, I must say.
    Yes, I like Kokopelli too. I have a Kokopelli mug from Arizona when I visitid there years ago (Yes, I treasure that mug)
    Happy T-Day,
    Lisca

  8. When I visit the Southwest and see the Kokopelli, I’ll recognize it and know what it means. Thanks!

  10. That is so cute - and I didn't know what Kokopelli was so thanks for not assuming we were all versed in that culture.

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.
