Mug Shot Monday: Bennington Potters Mug

I know I've mentioned in at least one of my earlier posts how much my mother (from whom I inherited my love of dishware) loved blue. This was one of her mugs, probably from the 60s. 

When I was a child my family used to spend vacations in Wilmington Vermont at the Adams Family Farm which is (sadly) no longer operational. We also spent a lot of time in nearby Bennington, home of Bennington Potters, makers of the mug in question. 

They still make these mugs. The closest current glaze they offer is the green elements. This one is more of a dark, robin's egg blue. 

Most nights, we would go for a walk after dinner and pick wildflowers. I still have a scrapbook from one of our earliest trips with flowers pressed between the pages. 

The flowers in the background picture are in Texas. I took the picture a short distance from my house. The flowers this year are amazing. 

Here's a link to Such Fleeting Pleasures, the Oberon/A Taste of Honey prequel in which Dan reminisces about spending time as a child at his family's nursery.

Love wasn't always strawberries and cream for Lucy and Dan Cavanaugh...or was it? In this Oberon prequel, we travel back in time to see how it all began. 

​

Most of the material in this prequel novella (set some eighteen years before the series begins) also appears as flashback scenes in A Taste of Honey, which will re-release next month.

​

A rivals to lovers, workplace romance.
