mug-tastic

Another week nearing completion...where the heck did it go? I could have sworn it was just Monday! hmmm.

Well, anyway...as I sit here, big, old, chipped mug of tea in hand...I thought I'd share some of what I've been coveting this morning.

My ode to mugs.


A simple 16 oz. mug, coppery red & cool gray, created by CyrusthePotter. Drool-worthy. Wouldn't my morning cup of tea look nice in there??? hmmm...

His and Her Coffee Cups, by AlinaHayes. I LOVE the handles on this super sweet pair!

A sweet as can be Red Heart Mug, lovingly created by LynnCardwellPottery. Gorgeous and very, very tempting.

Red & White Ceramic Mug, by GinaDeSantis. Doesn't it look like lipstick on the rim? haha, it would drive my mother nuts...which of course means, I LOVE IT! Well, I love it cause it's really, super pretty, too...

This gorgeous Sienna Mug, by ElmStudios, was the inspiration behind it all. I do think I may need this mug.

I get a kick out of Jusmare's Pine Hollow Mugs! Coolest thing EVER. If I had a rustic little cabin in the woods somewhere...yeah, I'd so have these! Of course, if I close my eyes, I can pretend I'm in a rustic little cabin...

Kinda makes you wanna buy some new stoneware, right? Hey, with all that coffee (or tea) does for you...shouldn't you spoil it a little? Indulge! Buy a mug ;)

No Day But Today

So for my birthday, a good friend of mine (who knows how crazy I am for anything Broadway) took me to see Rent at the Cadillac Theater in Chicago...one of the perks of living near the city ;)

Needless to say, I was beyond ecstatic! I've known the ENTIRE soundtrack to Rent since I was in 8th grade, lol. It really was an experience...ohmygosh, I love the theater! I had to stop myself from singing along, hehe ;)

An awfully liberal play for a conservative like me, he preached to me the WHOLE ride there...lol, but what can I say, I just LOVED it! And I'll be singing 'No Day But Today' and 'La Vie Boheme' for the next week...

Aside from that, though...I've been crazy earring lady this past week. Seriously...I just keep making them ;) I've been having a blast with different colors and textures, not to mention my newfound obsession with oxidized copper. Well, the good thing about that is that now my shop is absolutely packed!

It's been a delightfully lazy Sunday...and we're having amazingly warm (yet very VERY wet) weather here in Chicago...so I suppose I'm off to open up a window or something. I just can't wait for spring! Cabin fever in the extreme...

** Just wanted to throw in here (many hours after the fact) that this post is edited cause of this damn Chicago weather! lol...it WAS warm earlier today...now it's back to being cold and ucky. Argh...I can't wait for May! **
