Mug.

Everyone has a favourite mug right? Right. Mine was blue with Zebra's on it. Now I know that doesn't sound flash or trendy but the thing was it was the perfect shape for tea. Just the right thickness, the handle was the perfect size, it felt good with my hands wrapped around it. I'd had this mug for at least ten years and when it was given to me it had an Easter egg in it - just another reason I loved it.
I use the past tense because last night... I broke it. Not "oh a little bit of araldite will fix that" broke it. Really broke it. I was merely fiddling with my peppermint tea bag label, as I am want to do, and was clearly a lot closer to the edge of the bench than I realised and then whoosh, smash, hot tea everywhere, mug everywhere. All I can say is that at least I only have myself to blame. And it really is remarkable that it lasted so long in all the share housing that I've done.
A favourite mug is important if a mug of tea is what you ritually start your day with. So now I need a new one.

 

This guy is a cheerful colour. From here.

Of course, I could always go a pantone mug, but how on earth would I pick a colour?

 Or a penguin Classic mug... but how would I pick a book, when I know I shall be judged for it whenever i am innocently sinking into my morning tea? 

These are genius! Via...

Very cute design!(and a cute engagement shoot)

 

This is my favourite for now. I love lamps *sigh* {via}
