Lug your own mug!

“Disposable foodware is sometimes unavoidable, but if 10,000 Biters fill their own mugs at the café every day, in a year we’ll avert the weight of 1,517 baristas in disposable-cup waste.” - Ideal Bite Info

Don’t miss out on these glorious additions to your life! Check out Three Potato Four to buy, gift, and enjoy funky everyday items, along with some not so everyday iteams.  I love it and I’m sure you will too.  As a plus, they appreciate good design and the environment.  Very comical and creative.

“We’ve always filled our home with things we love and think beautiful stories can be told through the complimentary mix of modern and vintage objects.” -Janet Morales & Stu Eli (creaters of Three Potato Four)

My Fishs Eddy Mug is Half Full!

One of my absolute favorite gifts has been a mug from my sister, who has recently moved millions of miles away for a job in NYC. [Just for the record: I am not the type of person who collects things, I like to have nice things, but I don't advertise as having any one thing that I would consider hording into a large compilation or set. Collections for me are a burden more than a joy. I'm in college. There is no room for that.] Back to the mug, I like having a small assortment of mugs for my morning tea, afternoon coffee, or the occasional guest social visit, and then there’s the “i need to stay up all night for a project” or “the poor class that gets the shaft until the night before the test” coffee. Anyhow, I appreciate a hot beverage. My new favorite mug has an adorable wrap-around drawing of Brooklyn buildings and it has been a treat for my lips since the day I got it. Mugs (for me) are a way of appreciating the small things in life. If you need a mug, you should really check out the store where my mug was bought, it’s funky drawings are precious and it’s dish ware can make for a spunky gift anyone would love.
