This Giveaway is Closed – Thank You!
Whether you’re a book lover, a music lover, or both, chances are you like to indulge in your appreciation of either with a hot cup of your favorite coffee or tea by your side. I prefer having a favorite mug to fill; something that’s mine and mine alone. For years now I’ve used the same old tired yellow mug that sports a faded cartoon of the Chicago skyline. I overpaid for it in the Hancock Tower gift shop, and although it represents a very pleasant day, it was time to replace it with something not so worn. Mug Heaven has such a large selection of handmade ceramic mugs that choosing one to replace my old standby was an enjoyably difficult task. Animal mugs, personalized mugs, beautifully glazed pottery pieces that looked more like art – and that’s where I stopped.
See the photo above? It’s the mug I chose, my new sidekick while I blog, read, listen to music. It’s sitting next to me right now, filled with my favorite cappuccino. A beautiful piece which came wrapped with extreme care, so it looked simply brilliant when I received it. There’s something about a good mug that makes drinking coffee and tea seem more satisfying, like a little indulgence in the midst of my usually busy day. If you’ve ever used a good pottery mug, you probably noticed its tendency to hold onto the heat a little more than the average mass-produced, thin walled piece. That and, darn, cappuccino just looks better surrounded by a mug called “Golden Toffee and Raspberry“.
This is where it gets fun: Mug Heaven is giving away a mug to one carp(e) libris reviews reader. The winner gets to select the perfect mug to fit their personality; up to a $20 selection!

The White Face Mug – it’s the look I get when I’m attempting to be diplomatic with my reply to someone’s inane statement.

the deer mug is all me, I love to eat deer and I even hunt on my property! im not a hillbilly though!, just resourceful!
I love the mugs!!!!! Birthday presents for everyone in the future!!!!
I am quite torn between the pig mug and the smiling cat. Both suit my personality, our cat Hamlin even has his fan club on Face Book, and is our child substitute. I love pigs and since I worked for many years in child care, the children often gave me pig items. They are smart and funny creatures, and make people smile. I like to think I make people smile, also.
Love your reviews!
The Teal Rim Large Wheel Thrown Mug fits me the best because it is a large mug (I drink at least 1-2 pots of tea a day!!) and it is my favourite color blue! Blue is my happy color when work is getting me down

The face mugs are really cool!
What fabulous mugs! All of them are beautiful but when I saw the “Cat Face, Blue and Oatmeal Pottery Mugs ” I knew that was the one for me! I am also interested in the cat bowls and spoon rest in the near future also! I have 7 indoor cats and 5 outdoor cats (strays we adopted and take care of now). Needless to say, I love cats! The best part of my day is enjoying a hot cup of tea, with a good book and a cat in my lap! Your mug would come in quite handy!
I like the mocha midnight 16 oz. mug. I just like a substantial mug for my coffee.

Oh, wow, I just spent 15 minutes on that site trying to pick just one mug. I think I settled on the Black with Lilac And Cranberry Accent Mug, although I could have picked a dozen more, lol. What beautiful pieces of artwork they make. I was very very pleased with their prices, too. I loved the many shapes and sizes, something for everyone.
thanks for sharing this site with us, I have bookmarked it for further perusal, you know, when I’m not supposed to be working, lol.

Hello, I adore pottery. Their site is amazing! I choose the “Very Red Pottery Mug!” I am beginning to like the color of barn red and I need a color like this because I am not a morning person. Thanks very much!

I LOVE the Cobalt Mocha Frog Lidded Tea Coffee Mug
I like the Black with Lilac And Cranberry Accent Mug it reminds me of when I lived in Okinawa, Japan. My father was in the USAF and we spent 5 wonderful years on the island. It moreso reminds me of the beautiful sunsets I was able to enjoy. Very magical!
