Well with Christmas just around the corner, I thought it would be nice to use one of my favorite Christmas Mugs as the inspiration for our next color recipe palette.<\/span><\/p>\n

This sweet little (or big, really for a mug) Snowman Christmas Mug was given to me a few years ago by my Mom. She actually gave me two mugs, one you can’t see in this photo which is similar in style, but a little taller and of a full snowman, not just the head. She gave them to me because she knows how much I love this figurative style of pottery<\/span>.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Christmas<\/a><\/p>\n

Let me share a little back story with you. When Doug and I got married 25 years ago, one of our wedding gifts was a porcelain water jug in the shape of all kinds of vegetables. If you look carefully behind the handle of the mug you can see it in the background. (I promise to show it to you properly some day.)<\/span><\/p>\n

Well, I just loved that jug and wanted more of them. My mom was happy to indulge, and started buying me jugs for gifts until I had a collection of about 13 or 14 of them. Not all of them are displayed right now due to space, so I would have to dig them out to see the exact number.<\/span><\/p>\n

Any way, this collection expanded a little outside of jugs, to include sugar bowls shaped like artichokes, vases shaped like radishes, cookie jars like pumpkins and tomatoes, and candlesticks like pink frogs holding flowers, etc. etc. Now that I think of it, I really do have a pretty large collection of fruit, vegetable and flower shaped sculptural kitchenware. And since some of the pieces are vintage Majolica and such, the whole set of them could be fairly collectable… Geez, lets hope we don’t have any earthquakes anytime soon!<\/span><\/p>\n

But I digress… as usual! lol<\/span><\/p>\n

So to make a long story even longer, since I have pretty much every kind of decorative container that I never put food in, I might as well also have a few Christmas theme pieces to go along with the set too! Hence the reason behind this smiley Frosty Mug sitting here on the shelf in a forest of organically themed Water Pitchers!<\/span><\/p>\n

So, without any further chit chat, I introduce you to the inspiration behind the next color mixing recipe palette in our B-Series.<\/span><\/p>\n
