That's a tough one. Most of the dinner sets don't come with mugs. I don't use cups & saucers any more, although I have them to match my original stoneware set from when I was married. I never use that set any more - it was brown and he liked it so that's what we went with. After we divorced, I bought myself a new set of 4 plates, 4 soup bowls and mugs in the brightest color I could find!  LOL I think I paid $25 for the entire set. Used it for years & still have some pieces that have become plant saucers because they were chipped.

Sometimes Lenox has matching mugs. I know they do for Butterfly meadow pattern although that's not inexpensive to buy. I always wait and shop their sales. I use the 7 or 8 inch accent plates for my dinner ware rather than springing for the full size plates. That works for me. 

good luck!

I like your pattern too!  I kind of went crazy with the additional pieces too.  I have a little lamp, many canisters and bowls, etc.  I have teapots and different special coffee mugs, chili bowls, etc.

I bought some from eBay, Macy's, and many with the old Betty Crocker points.  Remember those?

First, your colors have always been my colors with the leaves a little more blue based!  

DH  gently doesn't want flowers in his nightmares!  My pattern reminded him of a stamp, thank goodness!

Back then I didn't know of BC points, but I have the 1970 cookbook.

You'll most likely need to buy your mugs separately.  You can buy place settings that include mugs (rather than cups and saucers), but generally they are not large mugs.  However, if you find place settings that you like you can probably buy large mugs you like in the same pattern or color.  The good news is, for morning coffee in large mugs you probably don't need 12.  Can you work with 4 or 6?
