I am obsessed with carving sweet, purposeful, reserved, or exuberant mugs onto ceramic mugs!

Get Your Mug On A Mug

Be greeted by your favorite furry, feathery, or fin-fitted mug every morning.
If you're like me, you either have a favorite mug, are searching for one, or are ready for a new favorite. What better way to start your day than with a mug that features your beloved animal companion? Make every sip a moment of joy and connection.
 
Imagine gifting a mug to a friend grieving the loss of a beloved pet.
Each morning coffee or afternoon tea becomes a moment of connection with their animal companion. Each mug weaves a unique story, capturing cherished memories and immortalizing the bond they shared.​

Bear, Moose and Fox are part of our life in Vermont. Their mugs on mugs is my way of honoring their presence.

I love commissions, but only when the animal gets to pick their mug on a mug.
