The Christmas mugs. Lost. All 27 of them. In the house. It could only happen here.
But it does mean Christmas has arrived rather early, because I’m not letting them out of my sight again this year. We missed them.
My personal favourites are these:
Nothing to do with the designs – just that they are rather fine china, unlike most of the thick, clumping other ones.
I have a similar attitude to tea towels. Some of mine are quite embarrassingly coy (cute fluffy things) or tourist souvenir maps – but what they have in common is the fabric – 100% Irish linen every time. It’s getting much harder to find now – the mills closed in NI in the early 1990s. I have had a go at spinning linen – but I would need a lot more practice!
