Writing this post put me in the mood for a good cup of homemade spiced tea, but I couldn't find her recipe anywhere. Even when I try to work up a little holiday spirit, I'm foiled. :)

Speaking of mugs...Number 8 on my Christmas Wish List is a set of Russel Wright Iroquois Casual mugs in ripe apricot. As I've mentioned before, I collect Iroquois Casual in that color and in avocado yellow and have a service for 16 in both colors, but I haven't bought the gumbo bowls or the mugs yet. I prefer the old style mug, but I wouldn't turn down the restyled version. I'm not that picky.
Oh, did I mention that the old style mugs sell for around $90 each, and the restyled ones sell for around $70 each? While I'm asking, I might as well put an avocado set on the list, right?

We had only one of those Santa mugs. It lived in a macrame holder, we hung it in a doorway, and was filled with candy for the holidays. I associate those particular mugs with treats too!
ReplyDeleteIsn't it amazing how one single ornament or small decoration can bring back such a flood of memories? In my case, some of those memories are 60 years old, yet they're just as clear as if they happened yesterday.
