I think that dish-ware is a fantastic area of your home in which to great creative and artistic. In our home, our daily dish-ware is hand thrown pottery. When we were married and had the opportunity to register for china or daily dishware, we opted out, and instead purchased beautiful pottery from a friend.
Pottery is a beautiful way to bring functional, purposeful works of art into your every day. It is a way to add an extra dose of enjoyment and beauty to a regular ritual.
Drinking a hot cup of delicious coffee or tea from this mug…..
knowing that it was made by an artist and, more importantly, a friend, is a joy for me.
And since you know how I love etsy.com, I had to hop over to see what kinds of beautiful, handmade mug offerings they had. My visit did not disappoint:
{AbbyTPottery} I love that these are called “huggable” mugs, don’t you?
{KaransPotsAndGlass} I love the shape of this slender mug with a long, skinny opening to fit four fingers through. My favorite way to sip.
{MoorefieldPottery} with an elegant curve, no?
{NstarStudio} simply darling. The shape and color of these beauties remind me of ancient relics.
{amandagentry} smooth, classy, celedon, and detailed
{scarecrow3331} I love how earthy these are.
{TheMudPlace} If your morning can’t be peaceful, why not your mug?
Oh! and if you are a fan of your hot-cup-of-something in the morning, you might enjoy this ditto post about creating a coffee bar.
Do you drink from a special mug in the morning?

Those are great! My little village nursery has a pottery fair each year (the owner makes a lot of the stuff) and I can get some great stuff for great prices. No mugs yet though. I drink my coffee from an Alice in Wonderland mug my mom gave me because I like to start the day with a little whimsy.
Yes, I do have my favorite mugs. And I love pottery. I have a few pieces..but not a lot. These pix were fun.
Love, Linda @ Truthful Tidbits
Have you joined in the Spring Blog Party over at Lynnette's? We are having fun…and there are nearly 500.00 in giveaway prizes. (wink)
Amen to pottery! What beautiful pieces. Right now my favorite "mug" is a ceramic tumbler with a locking lid. I was having too many coffee spills with an open cup 🙂
