(Pattern: Stangl Country Garden)
I have collected and gathered so many patterns of dishes over the years,
my husband recently asked,
”Are we using these now?”
Me: “Hmm…yes.”
At the flea market last fall,
these were in a box under a table.
None of my finds are ever eye level.
The attraction?
The colors- especially the turquoise-
the hand painting,
the price ($25),
the heft,
the quantity of pieces,
and this.
Drinking coffee out of this mug is one of life’s great pleasures.
In fact, that’s it folks.
That is my ongoing ‘main idea’; that is my message
each time I write a post.
I may wrap it all up in my own quirky view of things,
or the humor I see in just about everything,
as in my Faux Twitter posts or my Anti-tutorials,
but the message is always the same.
Delight in Simple Things.
And yes, in my world,
it makes perfect sense for a vintage coffee mug to say that.
