But I have pared them down now - to about 6 Otagiris, 1 Dansk, and a couple of Scandinavian ones.

I kept thinking that the mug must have been displaced, but it completely disappeared, so somebody could not resist that big ol' red maple leaf (on milkglass no less).<br />Yes, branch out - I know how easy it is for ME to pick up mugs, so I figure it is the same way with antique booth shoppers. And what is 50 cents to us equals about $5 for antique booth shopper, I think :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17505032049851950689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5372171803736498298.post-32712324455465214602012-11-04T19:05:36.098-08:002012-11-04T19:05:36.098-08:00Oh I too suffer from a wee bit of a mug addiction....Oh I too suffer from a wee bit of a mug addiction...Otagiri just feels so good to the hand.

Besides, for selfish reasons, I also just love checking in on your projects - it's such a soothing world that I love to occasionally get lost in. Same reason I occasionally stash Victoria magazines under my pillow and leave my Atomic Ranch on the coffee table, lol.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17505032049851950689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5372171803736498298.post-28241449555132140702012-10-30T06:18:07.431-07:002012-10-30T06:18:07.431-07:00That is a fantastic story!

My dad had a cabinet full of them. He was always buying unusual ones at the thrift store. He knew I always wanted a Range Rover and found a Land Rover mug that he gave me. After a year of drinking my coffee out of that mug I got inspired to look on eBay for one. Next thing I was on my way to Ohio to pick up my Rover. So I have great respect for the power of your daily mug.....lol.Jolene@JoRetrohttp://www.joretro.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5372171803736498298.post-27684001066458885252012-10-29T06:58:01.302-07:002012-10-29T06:58:01.302-07:00I have one big mug that I haven't sold yet, bu...I have one big mug that I haven't sold yet, but have never tried the little ones. I always thought that since people tend to drink bowls of coffee (not judging, I have a soup bowl full next to me :) that they might not want a small mug. I'm going to give it a go! Hopefully I will the same luck as you! Good luck with all this weather madness!
