Mug Shot: Peet's Fall Color Mugs

 

So, a few weeks back I posted a picture of my Peet's pumpkin-colored mug. Here are the other two mugs in that series. Collectively, I think of them as my Fall Color mugs. You can see why that's the case. 

I grew up on the East Coast, where leaf peeping and apple picking were just things we did in Autumn. They're a big part of why Fall was always my favorite season. I especially miss the apples. It's very hard to get McIntosh apples anywhere else and those will always be my favorite apple--bar none.

Of course, if you have apples, you probably also have apple cider. And I think these mugs would be perfect filled with spiced cider--either hot or cold. 

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! 

Mug Shot: Wooden Mug

 

How cute is this mug? It's made of wood and was a gift from my daughter. I believe she got it on one of her trips to South America. So...it's maybe Peruvian? 

In any case, it's giving Autumn. And speaking of Autumn, here's something else I learned from my former-barista daughter. Did you know that you can get your PSL or your Gingerbread Latte or Peppermint Mocha made "half sweet"? IOW not immediately diabetes inducing? I'm not a huge sweet drink lover, so this was a revelation to me. Try it out!

Mug Shot: Harvest-Themed Mug

 

This is another mug from the ACCI (Arts & Crafts Cooperative, Inc) gallery in Berkeley. My daughter picked out this one, but somehow or another it ended up here in Texas with me. I find myself not using it much, because in my heart, I still think of it as hers and I guess I don't want to be responsible for anything happening to it. Weird, right? 

It's a nice mug. I should probably use it more often. 

Dream Under the Hill is back!

DREAM UNDER THE HILL

Oberon Book 8.0

PG Forte

The Spring Equinox falls in the month that nearly all Native Traditions recognize as being one of Big Winds--big changes. And big changes have certainly come to Oberon this spring, along with an ancient evil that must finally be laid to rest.

Cara Matthews is a girl with a troubled past and a very uncertain future. The teenage girlfriend of Oberon's newest guru has always looked for love in all the worst places. And it doesn't get much worse than the Church of Truth, Light and Vision.

Former cop Liam McKnight could have told her that, but he's infiltrated the cult in hopes of discovering some clue to the whereabouts of his own missing family members, and he can't jeopardize his mission--not even for her.

In a month marked by birth, death and marriage, the inhabitants of Oberon must all come to terms with what's really important to each of them--important enough to die for. Only one thing is certain; when the winds of change finally stop blowing nothing, and no one, will be the same.

Mug Shot: Peace Mug

 

This is one of several mugs I bought in Berkeley at the ACCI (Arts & Crafts Cooperative, Inc) gallery. It's just about the hippiest peace of pottery I own--at the moment. And I think it's the perfect mug to post today, one day before the election when emotions are running high and many people are concerned about the possibility of violence--which is just appalling. 

But anyway, here are some pretty glass and ceramics to look at. Enjoy.
