Coffee+Mugs= Friends


this is my second year of participating in the Cuppakim mug swap!
it’s brilliant I tell you. before I even knew the date of when it was going to be i had started to get the itch. i had seen so many cute mugs that I was itching to buy one to give. obviously though, I couldn’t actually purchase one until I had been partnered up with my partner. it’s important to me that I try and get a mug that suits the person. it’s part of the whole challenge/ fun. it can’t just be a cute mug. 
it has to be “the one."


 I was tickled to receive my mug from Lorie and find out about her.
she had done her homework and knew that I really like vintage mugs.
it was the perfect little mug to add to my small but growing collection. and I love it.


Lorie messaged me thru insta-gram and we quick became following friends.
i love her style and she has the cutest little family…truly.
and always the best part…the cherry on top. making a new friend.

i figured i would post a pic of the one i sent to Richelle, too. 
she doesn’t have a blog but totally should. i met Richelle through my etsy shop because she was 
one of my very first orders. she is a mom to 5 girls and an amazing decorator. a sweetheart of a person.




thank you kim for such a great idea of connecting people over a cup of coffee and a cute mug. 
coffee+cute mugs= friends
