commemorative
Lately Geoff & I have been having so many things printed through an online printing company that when they sent me an offer for a free custom mug, I jumped at the opportunity to have one added to my order of postcards and stickers and whatnot. I love custom junk like this! I would have a cabinet full of photo mugs if possible (I think this love was triggered by a mug in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind).
I decided to make a commemorative mug of my own, this one commemorating the first and only time that I had a teeny tiny, six week old kitten in my life.
REPLIES
Same Length Pinkies: True. Gym class was amongst my least favourite classes, but sometimes I wish I had a mean gym teacher to make me run a six minute mile again.
Miss P: Thanks for saying hello!
M.M.E.: My brother had his autobiography and I used to flip through it quite often.
zoƫ, lion heart vintage: I know, right? Pretty great to revisit these fresh faces.
NICOMADE: So good, right?
Stephanie: I miss that version of ol' 99.
Heather: You, lady, are a GENIUS! I'm actually mad at myself for not having thought of running to Xanadu. When I run I sing along to what's playing, I don't even care! It makes it so much more fun.
Katie: Oh man, my brother was such a hockey NUT! Still is, works as a scout!
Lexie, Little Boat: Super cute, I agree!
Caitlin Rose: I always thought I was the only one.
Alison: Nice! That's pretty awesome. Fitness is cool!
C: Yeah, I know, I really could care less about it, although I have to admit that when I was in journalism school and my fake TV crew interviewed one of the handsome Russian hockey players on his way out of Maple Leaf Gardens, I was pretty starstruck.
jlee: I remember how much the kids at school worshipped Kareem! I had forgotten all about him.
Reanna: Glad you appreesh!
hilarymargaret: I'm glad you enjoyed them and shared your sweet memories!
Michelle: Hilarious -- I actually had that terrible episode on tape and it's completely burned into my brain forever. The Hawaii hockey skit? I will never be able to forget that.
sara: As am I, most of the time!
Linn Maria: Ha! Can you believe it? I remember the scandal when he moved to LA...
andrea: I love the McEnroe. Actually it was through hunting for McEnroe pictures that I came across these.
Danielle: Not enough for me!
Cat: Glad you liked them!
Ringo, have a banana!: We never had Wheaties in Canada -- or at least they weren't on my cereal radar! I liked the Pittsburg Penguins because their logo was the cutest. That's just how I rolled.
Tanglewood Baked Goods: Yeah, so beautiful!
If Jane: Aw, so cute.
Our Youth: Glad you enjoyed.

holy meow, this is precious! what company is it by chance?
ReplyDeleteponymug!!! Custom mugs are also awesome to have made for people's birthdays. We've had a few gifted and they always make me crack up when they get pulled out of the cabinet.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet little mug! I like how even though it has a heart & a kitten (which can get too kitschy) it remains rather understated.
ReplyDeleteIn other cat news, while cleaning through some boxes, I came across this highlighter tape that I forgot I even had! I found it at an independent office supply store several years back. Researching it online I came up short with any information. The neat thing about it is that it is that it works just like correction tape (same width, too.) Everything else I came across looked like coloured Scotch tape!

I didn't have a camera with me at the time so I just scanned it. Anyone (I mean you, fellow readers!) is welcome to post it elsewhere if you so choose.
Oh snap:

nothing is quite as sweet than a mug with a kitten on it :)
ReplyDeleteomigosh i think i just died a little from the cuteness of that photo!!! <3 i so need a kitten in my life right now..
ReplyDeletewhere do you get your custom printing done?? i have been asking for a custom mug for my birthdays/christmas for the last three years!!
ReplyDeleteHoly cats, that's a sweet mug ;) My sister had one made for me for my birthday one year. It was a still of Jude Law from "The Talented Mr. Ripley." So, everymorning, I got to enjoy my coffee in Italy with Jude.
ReplyDelete(ps- I sing out loud when I run, too!!! I thought I was the only one. So glad I'm not alone :))
Oh, I love that mug. I want one toooooo! :)
ReplyDeleteX
I love the really cheesy ones you can get in malls, although I do think it's always kind of creepy when there are those insane baby faces on them.
ReplyDeleteThis one is just perfect and adorable :D
Just had a read of a few of your posts. Your blog is waaaayyyyyyy awesommmmeeeeeee. You take great pictures and everything is so shiny and bright and pastely! Love.

oh my gosh, this is just TOO GOOD. how weird is it that if you sold these, i would buy one?
ReplyDeleteI'm gushing over this so much, I think "adorable" doesn't even begin to cover it :) I want one too!
ReplyDeleteoh and to answer your question (which I just noticed now): my new tumblr blog is here http://portraitscollection.tumblr.com/
ReplyDeleteit's basically a small collection of portraits, since I'm a bit addicted to them.
This is just the sweetest, Anabela!!!!
ReplyDeleteHa my goodness, you are clearly the greater Gretzky fan! Also just have to say that I have some sort of sick thing for photo mugs as well, I had a really ugly (not even close to as cute as this, seriously) one of my dog and loved it to bits.
ReplyDeletePS. Have you seen this photo? http://www.flickr.com/photos/gooldays/5570918459/in/pool-976267@N20 So very dreamcats.
ReplyDeleteThe heart shape really makes it. I can't believe how fast Pony has grown. I guess that's what kittens do - become cats.
ReplyDeleteI love your photo of the mug :)
ReplyDeleteAnd am also a mug fan! Not so much cupboard space now, so have to be selective... boo!
hello anabela, so good to see that someone also shares love for mugs i had to stop buying them because i have no space for them! well, one day i will also make that for my sweet kobe, the six week puppy that came to live with me! right now he's only 3 months :) hugs, twiggs
