Mugshot Monday - "Bamboo Glaze Yunomi" by Boulanger Pottery with 2019 Marques de Caceres Rioja Crianza I’m having a glass of wine tonight on my front porch in my new yunomi cup I bought this weekend at the Pots on the Bluff pottery sale in St. Paul. I drove from Minneapolis over to Mounds Park on the eastern bluffs overlooking the Mississippi River and downtown St. Paul. The sale was hosted at a…
Mugshot Monday - "Peaceful Tree" yunomi by Minsoo Yuh with Organic Lavender Earl Grey Tea by The Northern Lights Tea Company I'm realizing I haven't posted any of the cups my wife Cindy and I bought at the 2024 St. Croix Valley Pottery Tour this year back in May. Time to correct that. We love the work by Athens, GA potter Minsoo Yuh who is an annual guest potter at Guillermo Cuellar's studio .…
Mugshot Monday - "Faceted Crackle Mug" by David Menk Pottery with Ethiopia Light Roast by Peace Coffee I haven't had a cup of coffee in a mug like this since 2016! I'm stoked. 8 years ago, my friend Melanie lent me her incredible David Menk coffee mug for my Mugshot Monday project and I had hoped to some day buy one for my collection. And now I have one! I love the facets on this cup and there are…
Mugshot Monday - "Vote Harris/Walz" coffee mug by Justin Rothshank with Morning Glory Signature Blend by Peace Coffee I cannot believe how the 2024 Democratic ticket has played out the last 6 weeks. It was only July 21st when Joe Biden released an official statement saying he was leaving the 2024 race and was endorsing current VP Kamala Harris. By August 21, Harris had picked Tim Walz as her…
Mugshot Monday - "Teal Laurie Gates" coffee mug with Morning Glory Cold Brew by Peace Coffee We're back in Minneapolis after our annual family migration to northern Wisconsin. Being on a lake with family is such an awesome rest and reset-just before school starts. I took this Mugshot Monday last Monday while we bopped round the lake in the pontoon and the kids did some swimming. It was a fun time!…

Mugshot Monday - "Cobalt Blue" coffee mug by Milo with Lavender Earl Grey by The Northern Lights Tea Company Yesterday was Father's Day! And although I received a lovely coffee mug as a gift from my family, this isn't that mug. My youngest took a pottery class at South High School in Minneapolis and crafted this fantastic mug. I'm super impressed! He experimented putting some white glaze just on…
Mugshot Monday - "Best Dad In The Galaxy" mug by Tag with Ethiopia Light Roast Cold Brew by Peace Coffee For those who celebrate, Father's Day is this weekend! It kind of caught me by surprise because I can barely comprehend that it's already JUNE. This year is flying by. It made me think of this Father's Day mug I received from my oldest son a loooong time ago. It's awesome because it takes the…
Mugshot Monday - "Presidential Slogans Mug" by The Unemployed Philosophers Guild with Ethiopia Light Roast by Peace Coffee No other US presidential candidate has ever run a campaign with the slogan, "CONVICTED FELON". It's feeling like former president and current GOP front-runner Donald Trump may be unable to shake this new political slogan as it appears to be sticking. He was found guilty of 34…
Mugshot Monday - "Olive Green Vego Garden Coffee Mug" with Ethiopia Light Roast by Peace Coffee It's been drizzling off and on all morning on this Memorial Day in Minneapolis, but that's not preventing us from getting some gardening done! We're aerating the yard, putting down new grass seed, and weeding. And weeding. And weeding. 😭 Sooo many weeds. We're also putting the finishing touches on our…

These Elvis mugs were one of many nostalgic marketing items sold during the Elvis 50th Anniversary back in 1985. I'm not a huge Elvis fan, so the historical context…
Mugshot Monday - "Woodfire Mug" by Lindsay Oesterritter Ceramics with Morning Glory Blend by Peace Coffee You need to come over to my house when it's sunny outside and have coffee in this amazing woodfire mug made by Lindsay Oesterritter. Only then would you be able to witness with your own eyes this amazing little layered universe within the glaze as you rotate the mug in the sunshine. At the…
Mugshot Monday - “Dragon Mug” by Kristin Hill of Tin Hill Sculptured Pottery with Traditional Roast Arabica Coffee by Gëvalia Since I can remember, my Uncle Jim has had an affinity for dragons. Over the years, I’ve admired his incredible dragon mug and I finally get to post it for my Mugshot Monday. We were in Milwaukee this weekend helping our 19YO move out of his Marquette University dorm and…
Mugshot Monday - "CAFFEINATED" 24 oz coffee mug by "New Place New Space" with Morning Glory Cold Brew by Peace Coffee I've never been a fan of these GIGANTIC coffee mugs that usually say "I've Cut Back to One Cup of Coffee a Day" or "I Like Big Mugs And I Cannot Lie". I mean, they're super funny, but they're impractical and difficult to drink from. Not to mention your coffee gets cold before…

Mugshot Monday - "Little Toothpick Guy" coffee cup with Morning Glory Cold Brew by Peace Coffee I'm in the process of learning how to make decals and put them on my ceramics. This was a recent test. I made this little 4 ounce stoneware cup way back in 2019 when Jeff Oestreich was teaching me how to make handles in class I took at Northern Clay Center. I tried making a one-finger handle and it…
I had a few ideas for this prototype right after I posted my Mugshot Monday last week: Created a version for the "Back" of the mug to highlight our unfortunate overcast weather statewide on 4/8 Spelled out 'Minnesota" with a li'l 70% eclipse treatment on the 'O' Thoughts? I'll get the decals made and fire up some mugs soon. I can’t imagine anyone else would want one of these, but let me know if…
Mugshot Monday - "Commemorative April 8, 2024 Solar Eclipse Minnesota" *prototype* coffee mug with Morning Glory Signature Blend by Peace Coffee Did you see the solar eclipse today? I didn't because I live in Minnesota and we had overcast skies across the state. This cup is a fun prototype I was working on for an official commemorative April 8, 2024 Solar Eclipse in Minnesota coffee mug. The…
Mugshot Monday - "ELVIS - Teddy Bear" coffee mug by Nostalgia Collectibles with Peace Wave microwavable bean roasting system by Peace Coffee I've got another Elvis coffee mug for you this morning, and it's a weird one. First off, is the illustration of Elvis on this mug a joke? It doesn't look like him. Hs teeth and mouth are super awkward and the look on his face just isn't right. I thought it…
