You have such amazing things Susan! You must have a huge house to hold everything!
You have a nice collection, Susan. It's wonderful to have things like this to bring back the memories of special days or events in our lives.

That is a very impressive collection. I like the "Jimmy Carter". This was truly very enjoyable reading how you can remember where they all came from and by whom. Amazing.
Hope you can stop by and pay me a visit sometime soon. I'd love to have you!!!
I remember a beer stien that my parents used to have. It had a music box on the bottom of it. We used to love winding it up to listen to the music. It makes me wonder what ever happened to it.
That is a neat collection! I used to have a collection of mugs but when you live in a small house, something has to go! LOl!
I'm thinking you need a Michigan mug from you friend in Michigan.
Maybe I'll have to work on that :O)
Hey Susan...looks like your re-do is going very well.
I like your mugs and beer steins. So do you have all these labled? I would never remember who, what or when...have a great weekend.
Loved your collection! You do have the neatest items for show and tell!
Your mug collection is very nice. It is fun to drink from different ones I bet! :)

Fun collection! If I had to pick my favorite, I'd say the blue and white one from the Tulip Festival - I love the simplicity of it! So cute!
A great collection both for the items and for the memories they evoke.

Wow, you have a variety of mugs and cups....thank you for visiting my blog. I read your Oprah post...our pastor has been touching on this in his sermons the last few weeks.
The carter mug is such a hoot!
I enjoyed seeing your mug collection, Susan. Thank you for showing it to us. The first thing I thought when I saw the Jimmy Carter mug was that it looked like a peanut. That was before I read the name of it, lol.
I love mug collections. They are always so personal.
This was really fun.
Hugs,
Cookie
