Coffee cups can be enjoyable.

Yep, I am using my Disney Beauty and the Beast Chip cup that has the chip in it. I can’t give it up. I have a million cups to use but it makes me happy. Yep it truly is the small things in life.

I had a cat cup that I was given at as a gift and I used it all time but when I purchased my new dishes, I use the cups from the set. My dinner plates are white, the salad plates are a light gray, soup bowls pastel green and cups are pink and some are pastel green. Purchased at Crate & Barrel and they are sturdy. I decided to mix up the colors in the set for fun.

I have a thing for cups too!

My favorite are some from England that have botanical flowers, birds and they are light fine china.

Now I try not to have too many because not enough room.

I gave one of these to my neighbor with roses on it.

I have 2 with those pretty designs and lids from Barnes and Noble.

and now @Nancy Drew-

I want that one with Mrs. Potts and Chip! So cute!

This is my favorite cup because it came from an aunt with a great sense of humor but who is no longer with us. And I like it because it's large. 🙂

My favorite mug is one that my niece gave me for Christmas a few years ago. It has a french bulldog on it and came from Anthropologie. I love it.

I love coffee mugs... and I love coffee. My favorite is a mug given to me by my friends back in San Diego before we moved. One of the gals had them made and she gave each of us one. It has all our names on it (six of us) printed in six flowers with stems and leaves and it says "this bunch makes me happy" ... we had breakfast every morning for years on Wednesday.... it was hard to move away. I use the mug every single day!

I have been switching back and forth from these 1st two mugs for the past several months...

Pottery Barn's 'alpine toile'...

And Pier One's 'ashville leaves'...

When it gets closer to the holidays I'll be using one of these from Pier One's 'Christmas Stripes' dinnerware I got a few years ago...another one of my faves

I like my tea in a bone china mug or cup. It just tastes better!

I switch between a Hudson & Middleton mug and a Royal Tara mug.

@NickNack. My sister has the same one with a Corgi on it. She bought one for her and then her husband wanted one!

For some reason, I'm drawn to mugs for my tea. Even though I have more than I need including several tea for one sets. I always look at mugs when I'm in a store.

For years, I collected coffee mugs from places and special exhibits/occasions I attended. I loved to do this.

I moved and had to downsize drastically. I now have exactly two mugs, one that holds 12-14 oz and one that holds 10 oz. I have no space or use for more, but I’m still attracted to wanting new ones - there’s just no point ;-(

The larger one is nice sturdy stoneware from the Monterey Bay Aquarium with their logo. I’m very fond of it but not hopelessly devoted; some day I’ll decide to replace it with another.

The smaller one is hand-thrown and fired by a man and wife team; I purchased it at a craft/art fair. It’s blue (as is the other one, coincidentally) and has Arts and Crafts and Nouveau influences in the glaze decoration. It’s the perfect size for my K-cups and fits perfectly in my hand.

I have the "Ashville leaves" mug and use it throughout the Fall. Such a pretty seasonal mug!

I have a cabinet of them but don't use them that often. With the winter coming, I will be pulling out a couple of my favorites for hot chocolate.

My sister has given me a lot for birthdays. My top two mugs are golden retrievers and next favorite owls.

This is my favorite mug for Christmas and the holidays. I bought it about two years ago at Target and I loved it so much, I worried about it getting broken (which happens in this house, and it itsn't me). I checked online last year and Target had a few left so I bought two more as backups. I am about to have a cup of Target brand Pecan Pie Coffee, Archer Farms, their brand.

I just love the vintage red truck use for Christmas.
