Budding mug collection
Budding mug collection, originally uploaded by girlpirate.
Thrift stores or wonderful places! The thrift stores in my area ask a whopping .99 cents for mugs. I am planning to accumulate an epic collection of mugs for my cocoa events. I feel it is important that everyone have their own unique mug.
I look for several things in a mug: uniqueness, size (bigger is better!) And flat-out weirdness. I love the weird "omgwtf" mugs the best. As of now, the elephant is my favorite. Right now I have 7. Someday I want 50+.
Other things! ----
- I need to hit up eBay when I have the money and find quirky plastic mugs for the kids. Until then, I will probably get some disposable hot beverage cups.
- I need more kettles. I have one, currently. I need two or three... I want to be able to make all guest's cocoa simultaneously. Hopefully I scan score these cheap ala thrifting.
- Oh gosh. eBay. I wish I had the funds to get mugs on eBay. There are a lot of weird, figural ones which I think are my favorites. Buying mugs on eBay isn't practical so I won't do it. I don't have the money now, anyway. I will mostly be patient and hope to find such treasures in my thrifting adventures. You can't beat .99 cents for such treasures. You can't beat it at all.
- The exceptions of course, are octopus mugs: one / two / three! I would love to get a few of those in the future. I doubt I will stumble upon such a rare theme while thrifting.
Questions!
Is there a dairy-free brand of cocoa?
Is there a way to flavor cocoa, other than buying it pre-made in various flavors?
I am completely rambling. My head is full of happy, excited things.
Hello, happy place. I have missed you.
