Mondays are for Mugs: Room39

I'm not one for new year's resolutions (well I mainly make them, break them and then curse myself for starting the whole sorry business) but in 2014 one of the things I'd like to grab by the proverbial horns is...knitting. 

I've dabbled in the dark arts of the yarn (including taking this ace class) so am on the path of mastering it and *this* is the year to do it.

Which is why I've chosen this splendid mug as an incentive to keep my needles a-clacking in 2014.
Knit and Loop Mug, by Room39, price £6.50

Mondays are for Mugs: Hunkydory Home

Mondays are for Mugs! (Or y'know so are Tuesdays sometimes as we're not picky here now are we?!).

But shut the front door...I think I may have found my favourite festive mug...

The mug receiving this highest of accolades if the Fairy Lights Cup & Saucer from lovely Hunkydory Home. As I reckon it says everything I love about my kinda Christmas - bright, festive, fun and (above all) proper retro. 

Bring on the snow, Christmas pud and baubles - with this mug, I'm ready.
