I bought two new mugs that I wanted to share with you all. I really love how my collection is coming together. The only problem is that I feel like when you have a collection you’re supposed to display it somewhere. So my next kitchen goal is to figure out how to display the mugs that I do have without overcrowding my kitchen. (It’s only approximately 7′ x 12′ of clear space, with a huge kitchen table in the middle.)
Here’s a shot of my kitchen:
Alright, who has ideas?

Remember in an earlier post that I told you that I ALWAYS buy something when I go into West Elm. Well, I also almost ALWAYS buy something when I go into Marshalls or TJMaxx. And it’s usually from the homegoods section. This time I fell in love with three mugs.
My mother asked why I wouldn’t want matching mugs. Well, there’s a few reasons. If one breaks, it doesn’t matter. You get to decide exactly what kind of mood you’re in when you have tea. You get to pick the shape – sometimes you want a mug with a large mouth because then you can fit more whipped cream on top for hot chocolate and sometimes you want a small mouth for… I don’t know, variety? Alright, who can come up with a reason that somebody would want a mug with a small mouth?
Here are three new ones to add to my collection.

I should know this by now. Actually, worse off, I DO know this by now, but I still keep walking in. It’s always something – napkin rings, napkins, plates… well, yesterday it was mugs. They’re SO adorable. I was on the phone with Kristine. Kristine told me I didn’t need anymore mugs because I have so many and that’s a really popular gift so I’ll probably get MORE mugs. But these are so cute. And patterned. And they were on sale. AND I don’t have any in this size yet. And that makes it okay. Right?
What’s the store that you always walk out with something in your hand?
