There has been debate and doubt about my mug collection...
I have about 85 mugs to my name, for whatever reason. I only started collecting them about 10 years ago, but I did have a few before it became a mild obsession (I work very hard to restrain myself, especially around spooky season...🙃)
Some are very old, some are broken, some are brand new, some were gifts, some are worn with age and use, some have never been used at all, and some are a bit dusty.
But they all mean something to me.
I never just buy a mug for the sake of having another one - like going to the thrift shop and loading up, or whatever. Each one (that wasn't a gift from someone) was specifically selected by me to represent a memory, a feeling, or a special event. All purchased brand new (with the exception of two of the Christmas mugs).
There are a few that didn't make the photo board due to being shattered by cat or otherwise (though I still have the pieces, somewhere), or because they're still packed in a box somewhere from my many moves.
I can think of at least 9 absentee mugs that qualify under these terms. (One with a Poe pun, two Slytherins, a Santa Claus, a really big Marilyn Monroe, a hand-painted one from Shannon that has an "L" on it, a broken Donald Duck, a hand-painted spiderweb thing, and a hand-painted Link that got broken during our last move.)
So... here it is. My mug collection (mostly) in all its glory.
Each one has a description, so feel free to scroll through to see where I've been and what the heck I was thinking when I got some of these, haha.
