Just for me and my Earl Grey! It was a gift from a kter yrs and yrs ago.

Mine that I use every morning are about twice the age of yours, Seniorgal ;) And it's Ovaltine since I switched from tea many years ago.

My 'little' brother bought me a set of 4 matching 12 oz navy stoneware mugs when he was still a starving college student. I think they have special meaning because he couldn't really afford a gift but wanted to gift me anyway - my birthday. I doubt if he even remembers them, I'll have to ask him.

He'll be 59 next month. One of the four has been broken and discarded but I still have three and use one of those every morning.

I don't drink coffee, but when I was working a corporate job, where coffee cups were allowed at desks but not other beverage containers, my mother gave me a mug shaped like a racoon, with the tail forming the handle. I put diet coke in it. :) It fits nicely in the hand, and is pleasant to sip from--it's not just cute. I love that mug!

I have 3 favourite mugs. These are the ones I use every day for my coffee. I googled and found pics of them, here they are:

If they are in the dishwasher I use one of my several Marjolein Bastin Nature's Sketchbook mugs, but I can't find any pics of them online.

I have one I like because it has lived over 40 years, which is quite amazing because I'm tough on dishes and mugs. It was made in Japan. It just occurred to me to wonder if it's lead free. Hmmm...

OMG!!!! These sideways pictures are so annoying!

Amazing Aunt Audrey, did you have a different name before Houzz?

I'm boring, I just have a plain old Starbuck's mug that I got at a garage sale for a quarter OR was it free? HA!

I don't drink hot drinks, I have a Frappuccino every morning that I make with finely crushed ice, coffee, and my sugar free dairy free calorie free chocolate syrup, I have it in a tall Tervis tumbler. I have 2 I alternate between one has fleur-de-lis on it and one has a flip flop repair shop with maragarita ville on it, it's very cute and funny. I really like Tervis tumblers.

I do still have the pink cup I used as a very small child, it's some type of milk glass quite old I never use it, have it stored in the top of the cabinet so no one touches it.

Like mine but mine is the larger size.

Blew out my flip flop stepped on a pop top.. .

I have one that was my late mother in law's. Somebody probably gave it to her. It's a signed designer mug with a field of poppies. I love the size and it makes me happy!

Socks I've been AAA or just Aunt Audrey on any forum. Have been at the kt from the beginning. I was at HGTV forums before that as Aunt Audrey too.

I have 2 mugs that are my favorites. One I have had for over 25 years and it was from a friend I worked for. It has mice on it and the other one is from Hallmark and it was one that said something like have a nice holiday. I use both of those every day for my coffee.

I had so many mugs there was no room for them in cabinet so DH made me get rid of some. I am always picking up new ones at the thrift store.

Here are a few of my favorites. The Dachshund mug has a picture of one on the other side.

ravencajun, I love that cup! I'm a Jimmy Buffett fan, one of few celebrities that I can say that I "really like".

I drink hot Inca. Usually with hazelnut creamer & Stevia in a tall ceramic mug.

I have 2-3 I use for my chai tea, and dh is still using his thermal cup from commuting days. it has a lid and he likes that to keep spill off his paperwork, at MY desk and chair (he works from home now) I do use a smaller mug for chocolate...and they have gotten some use with the crazy weather...

I have a tall ceramic Starbucks 24oz. coffee mug. Fill it up in the morning with my Mocha Latte, and sip on it while doing the NY Times crossword puzzle.
I take it everywhere.

I don't drink hot beverages very often, so I don't have a favorite mug or cup. However, I drink water all day long and have a Bobble water bottle with me most of the time.

I have two of these coffee cups. They belonged to my sister who has passed away. I love using them and thinking about her every day. She had a strawberry themed kitchen and I got quite of few of her kitchen things because none of her daughters liked that theme. Lucky me!!

Dang, how do you straighten a picture?

Murraysmom, as I understand it, if you have a picture where you turned your camera/phone, the uploader will unturn it. To make it rightside up you have to load it to Houzz first, then use their editor to unturn it. Or something like that. I don't know if porting it from Photobucket or Picassa or something would keep it rightside up.

Speaking of pictures though, this one looks like my mug:

A Dale cup - "Of all my friends, you are the closest to normal"….A friend gave me this when we were going through divorces 33 years ago. I reminded her that I still have it and she said that it probably still holds true!

In my old age, I'm getting pickier and pickier about what I drink out of at home. For coffee, I prefer my Hadley Pottery mugs, which have motifs of Grand Haven and the lighthouse there, or Grand Marais with a sailboat. They are favorite vacation spots in Michigan. In a pinch, I will use my FiestaWare mugs, shamrock, if the Hadley is in the dishwasher. Last winter, we even took some of our FiestaWare mugs to our vacation home. There is a lot of FiestaWare already there, but cups and saucers, no mugs. Coffee tasted so much better!

When I'm "on" coffee, I use a handle-less stainless steel travel mug a friend gave me. Keeps the coffee very hot.

Don't have a favorite mug/cup but do have preferred style. I prefer a mug and it should have a good sized handle so I can get a good grip on it. I can't stand dealing with those puny handles that I can hardly get my pinkie into the grabber. Also like enough heft to it that it'll hold the heat a while.

Sudiepav...please share with me where another Hadley Pottery exists! The only one that I am familiar with is in Louisville and they don't do scenic scenes of Michigan. I am so curious; I've been given several pieces of Hadley from my in-laws and have been trying to love them.

My favorite mugs are heavy pieces from Buffalo China. I found four of them in a little vintage shop over twenty years ago and have used them ever since. There's just something about the feel of them, the heft, the simplicity that I love.

Rhizo, is it possible that those were made as souvenirs only on a business to business basis? Or possibly bought as plain and overglazed with the scene by a souvenir maker? I don't know a lot about Hadley, but I'm thinking that souvenirs are a likely source for favorite vacation scenes, and good money for a maker.

Hi gals, Actually, I got my Hadley mugs at the Louisville outlet store. They are for sale in Michigan at gift shops for 3x what I paid. The outlet is hit or miss...sometimes I find lots of treasures, sometimes none. We're not in Louisville often, but when we are, I like to stop. Besides my mugs, I've found cute coasters with all sorts of motifs. Found one that said White Lake for a gf whose family had a cottage there. I got about 10 coasters with my sorority name on them and doled them out to friends who are "sisters." I bought several others with designs that meant something to me or a friend. They make them for special orders and many of those at the outlet stores are either seconds or overruns. It's a fun store and worth a visit if you're in the area.

Thanks, sudiepav....I've been to the outlet many times (my husband is from Louisville), but had no idea that they did special orders!
