Fun Monday # 17 Will you join me for coffee!!

Willowtree is our fun monday host this week he likes to be in the know and this is the quest he's sent us on:

"Again this is one of those stickybeak posts. You could also get a bit creative photographically speaking if you wanted to. So here it is, I would like to see your favourite Coffee Mug. But wait there's more, I'd also like to see your favourite glasses for a) non alcoholic drinks and b) alcoholic drinks. If you want extra credit you could also post your favourite plate. Note I said favourite, not best".

I don't have a favourite mug I have many and I use them all so here are a few and I love them all because they were given to me by my nearest and dearest (so how can I possibly choose just one)!!
Now I wonder who gave me 'bossy boots' hmmm, the grandma mug came after Dillon was born, the Freesia (my favourite flowers) mug was bought on holiday in Cornwall. The heart mug was a mother's day gift and I always start the day with a cup of boiled water in this one and there are two other 'mum' ones given to me by my daughters. The tennis mug came one Christmas, for anyone who doesn't know me well I was a keen tennis player until three years ago and I still love to follow it on TV. The 'Boss' mug was given to me by work colleagues back in the 80's (I was the manager and they would probably have liked to add a 'y')!! The little bear was from Embee one Valentine's day a few years back. I decided to stop here as the other two favourites were in the dishwasher when I took the photo. I know I've broken the rules but I reckon it's OK as it's only one photo!!

This plate was a present from my three grandchildren in 2005 so there is no need to tell you why I absolutely love it and always find a reason to use it when I'm entertaining.
These two plates were decorated by Mollie and Dillon back in 1999 and they sit proudly on my dresser where I can see them and everyone else can admire them.
This is the wine glass I use most of the time. It was one of three bought by Embee second hand (junk or charity shop not sure he will no doubt put me right when he reads this). What I do remember (or what I was told at the time) is he paid £1 (approx $2) each and I love the shape of the glass and the pattern. Sadly we are now down to two as someone broke one recently and this time it wasn't Embee but I'm sure it was his fault!!
This is the tumbler (snowflake) I use for grabbing a quick drink I bought 6 of them just after Christmas in a sale for about 50 pence each. I've had them for years and we're now down to the last two.

So you now know my drinking habits and I'm off to visit the rest of you (32 at my last count) for coffee or maybe raise a glass depending on the time of day!!
