So. Also not a mug. But I guess it's obvious that I'm not THAT particular. I actually have an entire set of these cups (along with saucers, dessert plates, and footed ice cream dishes. I love pink depression glass. It reminds me of my grandmother.
She lived with us when I was growing up and I think I mentioned that I have the fondest memories of having afternoon tea with her. I even gave Allegra a version of my memories in Que Será, Syrah.
Anyway, I bought this set probably a decade ago with the idea that I would someday host pink tea parties for the grandchildren I didn't yet have. Now I have a grandson, and a grand nephew and it's very possible that that's all the grands I'll ever have and only one of them lives near me or is old enough for tea parties, so an entire set of dishes seems like overkill.
But I can dream. And I can create menus. And I can definitely write a pink tea party into a book--which I fully intend to do in the very near future!
