Mug Shot

Recently I was asked whether all of my coffee/tea mugs were a matching set, and after looking at my collection and much to my surprise (and horror) they all are!  I couldn't believe how unbelievably boring my mug selection was - plain white tapered mugs.  Although they are very cute in their design, they are all very much the same.  This is something that I'm going to have to rectify and quick!  The mis-matched/eclectic look is trending right now and in my opinion is much more fun than complete sets of identical mugs - as in my case.  Matching sets are good for large groups in which you want your pieces to have a cohesive and flawless appearance, but for day-to-day and for when the girls come over on a Sunday afternoon for coffee/tea is a fun and relaxed way to share the moment by displaying a collection of your best/cutest/funkiest mugs.

There are so many adorable, funky, sweet options out there for coffee/tea mugs that I could not resist showing off a few to help inspire you on your next trip to your local shop to pick up a few of these mugs.

How amazing are those!  This has inspired me on the eve of the long weekend to go out and pick up some of these really fun and colourful mugs to add to my collection - see you later boring white mugs!

Happy Shopping!
