A Snowy Day = Me reaching for a mug

Well the snow canceled my plans for the weekend, but on the plus side it gave me an excuse to keep my favorite mug out all day.  I have a couple favorite mugs, for different purposes and reasons.  It's like shoes: each one has a different purpose and goes with a different mood or outfit, so you can never have too many.

This mug is my favorite mini-mug, as I think of it.  It holds a small cup of liquid and I always refill it a couple times.  But I like refilling beverage containers.  I would rather have three small glasses of wine than a ginormous one.  Thus, today I filled my mini-mug with pure coffee, coffee plus hot chocolate, and finally coffee, hot chocolate, and marshmallows. Mmm!

I got this mug in Kanazawa, Japan last summer.  We found a shop with a ton of mugs, hundreds of them, all different.  Some were cast, some were thrown, some were slab... I went through them all and this little gem caught my eye.  It doesn't look at all "Japanese" to me but it's one of my favorite souvenirs of the trip.

I had some Photoshop fun with it because pseudo-snow is a better background than my messy kitchen counter top.
