September 17, 2017 - A slow Sunday, where I had a cup or two of coffee from my mug before taking a picture of it. I'm not sure why today feels so lazy. There's plenty to do to prepare for the coming week and get the house in order, but this green mug with raised vines feels right for curling up with a book. The raised profile of the vines adds an interesting feel to the mug; I'm awful at holding these wide-mouthed mugs by the handle and not spilling, the ridges formed by the vines are something nice for my fingers to grip. Maybe the vines are ivy-like and allude to classic literature being read in a study or the earthen green matching with cozy brown soft for a more modern read. Either way, it'd be wonderful to shirk responsibility and get lost in a book today. Alas, all I can really spare is maybe the first chapter or two of a book while I have just a little bit more coffee.

This mug is from Pier 1 Imports and apparently exclusively so. This makes sense to me as the mug feels more decorative rather than functional.
