As a follow-up to giulia's post "Tea in a pot with a teacosy, anyone?", I started thinking of all the favorite mugs I have had over the years. I still have only a few-mugs given to me or mugs I purchased on holidays.
Photo features the only teapot I have and two mugs that my DH and I use every day (mainly for coffee)
My mug is the Kahaldi Brothers & Salmon Sisters mug given to me by my son for Mother's Day. KB is a coffee shop and SS sells canned salmon and ladies clothes in their shops. Both businesses are in Alaska.
The Hakai Pass mug is my DH's cup. There is a fishing resort there that a good friend owned for many years. It is located on the west coast of Canada. A very beautiful location in a very beautiful country.
Do your favorite mugs bring back memories?
Love to see a photo if you can post it.
My son’s Aussie MIL gave me two lovely mugs. I rarely break anything, but managed to smash the one I liked best, which had a blue wren on it. Shortly after, I chipped the other one, but still use it for my morning tea. Coffee is always drunk from a variety of others.
I love a mug with a saying on it but prefer to drink from a porcelain one. I was really pleased to receive this one as a gift.
Yes kitty - my mug is the same design but the back ground colour is duck egg blue. Isn't that a amazing? 
Well, I'm a bit sad about my favourite mug this evening. Bashed it in the washing up. 
'Where there's tea there's hope' has got me through many testing moments.
I have a lot of cups that I love, especially the sentimental ones from my sons but I have to say this one is my current favorite because it makes me chuckle every time. My admin friends gave it to me in my retirement gift basket. 
Sorry forgot the picture ?
Emma Bridgwater cocoa mug - I think the design is called Peacock.
It's a great size for that early morning coffee, made by partner and brought up to bed !
How can I choose a favourite? I have a few that are special.
The tiny one on the right, I bought in a charity shop, for 50p, and I think it is hand painted, with a ladybird on the back.
The blue and white, at the back, one is good for coffee.
I was given the garden theme one, from a work colleague, many years ago.
My bucket, on the left, is for when I need a lot!
I have far more mugs than I need, even though I halved the amount when I moved. They’re mostly Emma Bridgewater, so I work my way along the shelf but the one I mostly choose is the Holly & Ivy in the middle of the shelf. It was in my late DHs stocking for his last Christmas chosen, of course, by Mrs Santa Claus ??
I have three. Two are bone china; the Super Gran mug, a present from GS when he was five, is English creamware. I like to see my fingers through whatever I am drinking out of! I love the walking mug too, Bradfordlass but I’d be terrified of breaking it!
