Coffee mugs and teacups

Coffee mugs - I love them.

The trouble is I have had the same ones 

for years, the blinking things won't break!

And my sis and my SIL have both said

 the same thing to me since Christmas.

They won't break! 

So when I saw these ones in the 

Warehouse I decided to buy them regardless.

They are thick glass but I think they are fun.

Good for every day use.

And then I pulled these ones out. 

I have had them for years, my youngest

 daughter gave me four of them several years ago.

Of course you'll probably recognise them

 as Avon breast cancer fundraisers.

Really nice to drink out of, quite fine china.

This pretty pair came from Korea. 

My son brought them home after he had been

 in Seoul on a three month mission stint.

They are Hankook Fine Bone China.

I've only had them on display so far

but they are nice and fine as well

 - and don't you just love the delicate pattern?

Now I just love the rich autumn colours in this

 beautiful pair. The photo really doesn't do 

them justice.They were a gift from my DIL 

the first time she came over from Japan.

It has a rather ornate stamp on the bottom 

ringed with the words BEST HOME PORCELAIN.

Eldest daughter is a tea drinker,

 I may just get them out next time she's over :)

And she's the one who gifted us these two coffee mugs.

First to come along was the big mauve one - it says:

my Mum can make the smile 

on my face come straight from my heart.

Nice sentiments you say. 

But then a little later she gave her Dad the one that says:

I don't need Google, my wife knows everything.

Mixed messages from the cheeky child, haha.

 Now you might be wondering what I did 

with all the old coffee mugs - well they have 

been cleared out of the cupboard, cleaned up 

and will be taken to the op shop 

the next time we head down there.
