How many of us have way too many coffee cups? I know I am not alone, because I have been to my friends’ houses. I have seen their collections. I have even used them. What is it about coffee cups that makes them so darn irresistible?

I love a pretty pattern. The cheerful designs make me smile. These are coffee cups that I get a thrill out of using. We also have coffee cups that make me question our sanity. We keep every coffee cup we have ever gotten.

I have even made my husband some coffee cups. And when I say, “made,” I mean I gave them a very sad paint job. Aren’t I talented?

It’s the little things: cradling a beautiful cup in your hand and delighting in its warmth.

And, of course, I love more:

Anthropologie Swirled Symmetry Mug

This adorable gnome coffee cup on Amazon

This French Bulldog Coffee Mug on etsy

And this rad handpainted English Bulldog Mug, from the same artist on Etsy

Okay! I need to stop! I love them all!

What is your favorite coffee cup? Do you need to purge your collection, too?
