Secret Santa gift , apologies for upsidedowness

 

[wtfftw]

I have one less mug than I thought. don't recall breaking it.

 

[5t3IIa]

In what seems to be a remarkable display of urbanite restraint I have a mere six (6) mugs* and 2 (two) cups and saucers** at home;

And this one for work:

* dinosaur mug does this

30. Some mugs are destined for smashing and going in the bottom of a plant pot, when I next feel the urge to do some breaking and/or balconying.

 

[girasol]

Not sure.

4 green ones
4 black and white
2 designed by madzone
1 pink floral one
1 blue and white spotty one (best mug - tis huge)
1 that was a gift from girasol
1 that was a gift from Dooby
1 that he won in the dhfc raffle last week
3 given to me as leaving presents

But I'm probably forgetting some. Say 20. Then I have some sixties harlequinware tea and coffee cups (6 of each) and a thirties tea set (another 6).

Is that mug still going, have bits of the print come off or is it all still there? I have a photo of it somewhere

Why the lack of cat themed mugs????

I have 6 of the real life buggers and usually this makes people think I collect mountains of cat related items too. Thankfully though not mugs.

 

[J Ed]

I have a cat mug and a nice owl mug, I will take pictures if I ever fish them out of the sink where they are 'soaking'

Enjoying the photos of mug collections here. Especially how they are pretending to be "this is just what they looked like when I opened the cupboard" as if we don't all know that you've selectively turned round/brought to the front the ones you want us to see, so as to portay your "personality" or politics or whatever else in the way you want it to appear.

I've not posted a photo for that exact reason^

I win.

still going and looking good - though is the mug that gets used last, because of wanting to preserve it.

 

[RedDragon]

I can't believe I actually counted my this morning while waiting for the kettle to boil , as we recently moved only the most used made it to the new place: 8

 

[ddraig]

i reckon close to bloody 20! 2 mug trees and others in cupboard or knocking about, for 2 people! think i only use 3 maybe 4 of them and been saying I want to get rid of one of the mug trees, it's just silly
might count em

 

[J Ed]

My favourite ones

My mug/cup shelf really does look that that actually. The mugs/cups I use most often are always at the front, obviously!

 

[Orang Utan]

far too many mugs designed by that designer who is most horrid of all that is horrid, so horrid that they must not be named, lest they hear and open up a shop nearby

The floral lady?

The floral lady?

shhhhhhh!

 

[8115]

shhhhhhh!

We have a shop near us. I don't see why you should be spared.

Cath Kidston! Cath Kidston! Cath Kidston!

It's OK, as long as you don't say it out loud while looking at one of her products, she won't appear.

 

[Onket]

We've got some Cath Kidson ones but none of them are floral.

Maybe because thats because all the mugs have been taken out for counting and placed back.

See my 'tit' there? I placed it.

I'm largely transient so only 3 mugs (was 4). I do have 8 wedgwood espresso cups though. Have a bit of a thing for them. 4 of these:

They're amazingly black. The inside is a glossy glaze, the outside matte. 4 more traditional ones in white porcelaine with leaves and gold shit (were grandparent's).

They look well good...

 

[Thimble Queen]

Too many. And there's never any clean ones.

 

[girasol]

Less is more when it comes to any form of kitchen utensil. If anything it forces you to wash up regularly otherwise you have nothing to drink & eat from.

 

[campanula]

39...but another 9 in the horsebox, 5 or 6 at the allotment. Quite likely more lurking under beds or in spare room.

Of course, I use the same mug for every drink, every day - the rest are mere fripperies.

There are also numerous cups and mugs in boxes belonging to offspring which were packed at various lifestages (leaving home, for the first, second.....5th time) which are still in loft/garage/boxes on top of cupboards.

In a horse box? Blimey
