This may seem weird - but I was asking myself if there‘s a correlation between loving books and buying more mugs.

I‘m obsessed with mugs, because I love drinking tea or coffee while reading and beautiful big mugs make me happy / feeling special.

My best friend is also really into books - we‘re also in the same book club - and we we‘re asking ourselves if there is that same reasoning and correlation for everyone or if it‘s just us.

Do you guys are also like that and it‘s a booklover thing?

And ofc I just bought a handmade pottery mug for way too much money on black friday? How could I not?

    Aside from being cozy and usually thought of in correlation (drinking a cuppa while reading a book) I think both the mug and the book bring love and joy. Usually a book you are reading is a book you are curious about, and a cup of tea is in a mug you think is lovely. Both the mug and the book hold stories inside them, the book’s is between the pages and the mug’s is a combination of where you got it from, why it’s important to you, the pattern and what it’s made from. (I think I might be getting too sentimental about mugs)

      I really like your way of thinking and you described it so perfectly! I‘m also really sentimental when it comes to stuff like that, so no excuses needed :)
