Haunted mugs

It's spooky week!

 

 
You know I didn’t want to have to haunt you, but what a ghostly scene.

 

New addition this year: This Tim Hortons ghost mug changes colour when you fill it with a hot drink!

 

 
Are you a good witch or a bad witch?

 

 
So, they filled my cell with snakes...
 
Happy Halloween!

A pink truck and pink teacup

In October, the Mississauga Fire Fighters Benevolent Fund sell Pink Truck Tour gear (t-shirts, long-sleeved shirts, quarter-zip sweaters, hoodies, and baseball caps) to raise funds for the Trillium Health Partners’ Cancer Program. The Pink Truck Tour has raised more than $1,000,000 since 2014!

 

 
I was more than happy to buy a hoodie and contribute to their 10-year anniversary goal of raising $100,000 this year!
 

 
A pink teacup in honour of Breast Cancer Awareness Month.


 
This Royal Albert Lady Carlyle teacup belongs to my mom who was influenced to get it by her teacup-loving daughter!

Anne of Green Gables Mug

It seems only fitting that I share my handmade Anne of Green Gables mug this month.


 
This beautiful mug was crafted by Milushka, a talented potter in Croatia who specializes in storytelling ceramics.
