Mugathon

It's been a week of firsts and now to finish it off in style, my first Listography. Thanks to Katetakes5 for this one

I'm calling this my "Top 5 mugs that I haven't broken yet" because the attrition rate on crockery is pretty high in this household. Usually down to emptying dishwasher with wet hands.

1. I don't normally go in for labels, but this one fits pretty well.

2. Cath Kidston. I only bought one and hid it for a week or so. Because it was a little more expensive than I would normally risk. Given my tendancy to drop things.

3. I went for coffee with a friend to a local garden centre. I wasn't going to buy anything, but this mug stopped me in my tracks. Dunoon, beautiful thin china (perfect for tea) and I love hearts. Simples.

4. I often start the day with a cup of Twinings Morning Detox tea. Lemony and bright and too delicate for a heavy mug. This was a random eBay purchase. I love these blue and white designs.

5. I had longed for a "proper" tea set for quite some time. And once I felt the children were old enough not to pose an unacceptable risk (although TBH I'm probably still more of a danger than them) my search began. And I chanced upon this beautiful pink rose tea set. What's more it was complete- 6 cups, saucers and side plates plus teapot, milk jug, sugar bowl and sandwich plate. And it was only TWENTY QUID. I feel like it was destined to be mine. And although not strictly a mug, it beautifies and uplifts me to drink from it.
