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!

Large and gorgeous selection! Hard to choose but I do love the Garcia Blue Rounded 14 ounce Mug! SOmething about it reminds me of the ocean at night and that…I love!
I really like your “Red-Orange Ash Glaze Spoon Mug “. The spoon attached would be an added Bonus to this So Cool Mug
Earth and Green Spirit Face Mug
I love this cup! It was the closet thing I could find to a zombie looking thing. I love zombies, the poor little guys never get cut a break. Probably because of the smell. They just need to find some soap on a rope and a little water . . .
I probably need to write the Mug Heaven people and ask them to please not discriminate against those who are Differently Alive.
Twittered you! Asketcher1 is my name there.
Earth and Green spirit face mug . . . love it!
Here I am again!!!
I like the Blue Wave With Foam Green Accent Mug, because it’s beautiful, unique, and creative.
I would select the Smiling Cat Face mug (for my sister-in-law). She recently fractured her ankle and since she’s a cat owner/lover I believe the mug might help lift her spirits – or whatever else she puts in it!
My daily entry!
happy sunday

I am a MUG JUNKIE! We try to get to New York every year for an artisan festival and lots of the artisans make mugs, we stock up. We havn’t been able to get there the last few years and I’m in withdrawl! I had never heard of Mug Heaven before, but I think I’ll be spending lots of time there. Soooo hard to pick a favorite! But I will go with The Palm Tree and Moon at the Beach mug, I love mugs with wide bases. Thanks so much!

I would choose the Expression Saying Mug- saying Don’t ouch This Mug. My reasoning is, I can hardly keep my mug for me, and If I said that, maybe they would let my mg be.
