Did I mention I had a cup/mug passion?  LOL.  So...the most recent addition to my collection would be the Candy Corn Travel Mug.  It is just so cute I think!  I love the idea of a travel mug that I can pop in the microwave.  Usually, when leaving the house I like to zap my drink and get it good and hot.  Most of my travel mugs are not microwavable or they are plastic!  How odd is that?  Why put some kind of metal on a travel mug?  And how well will plastic hold heat?  Not very.  This mug is made of fine vitrified china.  In simple terms, that means it keeps hot things hot and cold things cold.  And it fits in most microwaves.  My new one is tiny and it fits.  Another good thing about it is it's nonpourous.  It does not stain!  www.longaberger.com/juliecottrill

Drinking from a pretty cup

What can I say?  I like coffee mugs.  I am a collector of coffee mugs.  Some I use, some I don't.  I like my current favorites to be on display, not shut up in the cabinet with no one to see them but me when I open the cabinet door each morning for my cup.  I keep my favorite mugs of the season proudly displayed above and sometimes beside my stove.  Here is a pic from this winter and snowman mugs that my very best friend in the whole world gave me one year for Christmas.  These mugs, I don't use to drink out of but I use them to hold things like cheese spreaders, sweetner packs, teabags, or whatever. 

But that was winter and now it is summertime!  So my favorite and newest mug is my Botanical FieldsTM Mug.  I got these mugs about a month ago.  Not only are they pretty, but they are big.  And I like nothing better than to have a BIG cup of coffee in the morning!  One side has flowers and the other has a blue butterfly.  So...for the time being, here is my fav mug.  What makes it even better, is it's a Longaberger mug!  That means it's fine vitrified china.  What does that mean?  It's freezer, dishwasher, microwave and oven safe!  Yes... I said oven safe?  Have you heard of cake in a cup??  Well... here is the cup you can bake it in!

These mugs (and the bowls and plates) are only available through August 31 so hurry to order yours today!  Go to www.longaberger.com/juliecottrill and click on Seasonal Pottery in the left hand column.  Scroll down towards the bottom and there they are!
