Mugs.
No, I'm not talking about one's face. I'm talking about those devices we use to hold coffee, tea, milk, water, etc.
Yesterday, we perused a couple of thrift stores. I noticed that at each one there was a shelf set aside just for mugs.
Poor, abandoned, lonely mugs.
I bet at one time they were either given as gifts or bought with joy of using. Now, they are abandoned, left to their own, to sit on a shelf for folks like me to notice.
I decided to do a mug count at our house. I thought while I was cleaning out the cabinet, I'd take a few photos. Bet you can tell which ones my DH uses. I have to admit not all my mugs are in one cabinet. I have 6 on a mug rack, some in a hutch, and another in another cabinet. I didn't take photos of the ones on the top shelf because I didn't want to get a step ladder.
After all is said...drum roll please...I counted 51 mugs in our house. That averages out to 25.5 mugs per person (MPP) in our home. This doesn't count the coffee and tea cups.
And yes, I succumbed to the call of the lonely mug yesterday and bought this clear one. I thought it needed a new home.
What's Your MPP?

I'm not even game to count ours, some are still in boxes unused. They were wedding gifts. They are on stand-by when eventually we need new ones.

Anyone want to do a GPP -- I have lots of glasses, none of them have 6 or more in one pattern?

The clear one is apparently from France...I found glasses with the same pattern in a book. As fancy as it is, it isn't worth much, but I sure like using it. Thanks for your comments.
