Mug Shots

I have to attribute this clever title to my dear, sista friend Robyn who recently took this awesome photo, with the caption Mug Shot, during a weekend in Orcas Island, WA. You can purchase one of these beauties at Orcas Island Pottery.


 It's also home to this beautiful treehouse. Swoon.


Anyhow, it triggered an idea for a blog post. I love mugs. Big mugs, small mugs, mugs that are borderline big tea cups. It's more than likely due to my great love of warm beverages-- coffee, tea, hot cocoa, cider-- you name it!

My sweet friend from Atlanta, Jenny, and I used to have tea cup dates once a month where we'd load the babies up in strollers and go to Anthropologie to buy a tea cup (which was actually kind of a dainty mug) and have lunch afterwards. Sadly, our teacup dates only garnered us four cups, as we moved shortly after our tradition started. You can see the four floral teacups in the right side of my cabinet.


I've seen some beautiful mug collections on Pinterest lately and thought I'd share some of them with you.

I do so enjoy a good, french bottle rack!


You can see my blogger friend Lesley from Atlanta's bottle rack for mugs in her gorgeous kitchen below. Follow her, folks. You'll love her blog; it's one of my favs!

Hopefully this put you in the mood to drag out and display your mugs, brew something warm to drink or both!

Decorating with Junk

A while back I was walking down the street and something caught my eye. Stuffed in between the neighbor's yard waste bags, ready to be hauled off, was a weathered piece of diamond garden trellis. It sat on our balcony for a while until inspiration struck. It could be a tea cup rack! Better yet, if I used some cups from my Melmac collection, I wouldn't have to worry about it being too heavy.

The result is a charming, rustic, and playful piece of wall art! String up some bistro lights and voila! You are transported to a mid-century french garden cafĂ©.
