This week’s Sunday Stills Challenge is to photograph your favorite coffee/tea cups.
Here’s mine posing on my bedroom balcony with some books I just finished reading:
I rarely ever buy souvenirs, especially mugs or cups, but almost 9 years ago, I spent two of the most amazing vacations with my family, camping in the Ft. Wilderness Campground at Walt Disney World in Florida. I bought this Mickey Mouse coffee mug as a memento. My twinlings were 4 years old, going on 5, so we celebrated their birthdays at Walt Disney World on our first visit. Every day I laughed like a child filled with joy. The only other times I feel the same way is when I’m riding a good horse out on the trails.
I’ve went through quite a few mugs and tea cups over the years because they tend to break, become stained or lose their picture print. This coffee mug was a good purchase because it’s held up many years and 3 moves(one cross-country), and it still looks great…..and brings back some very happy memories.

My favorite coffee cup has developed some hairline fractures. It's yellow to match my kitchen. Pretty soon it will be leaking. Isn't it funny how we get addicted to our cups?
Nice cup. Mine is along the same lines and is also 9 years old. Nice.
You can see mine at Sunday Stills
What a fun way to start your day. Can't help but smile when you see Mickey. :)
Nice cup and looks like good reads too!
Like the picture and love the story with it.
Cups with memories are the best kind!
Ditto what Shirley said....we have our Favorite old mugs here too.
it's funny...but that 1st cup does NOT taste as good outta anything but my favorite cup!!!
At first glance I thought that cup was a statue up against the sky like that. Then I started thinking about those art cakes they make on TV and how a cup of tea would make a great art cake for you. It would have to be filled with tea so that you can get more cake, of course. My favorite mugs just recently got cracked in the dishwasher, because my husband turned up the heat on the water heater. So sad. They were like the kind of mugs that come from pottery shops and are hand-painted. I've visited one of those shops in Laguna Beach and another in Santa Barbara.
Good memories. In all honesty I haven't had a cup of coffee in my life!
Nice picture and the books do look interesting.

wish I kept my disney land cup. It was Jurrasic park that yeay,
Look at that blue sky..it is a beautiful photo! :)
That's a great way to start the day, with a cup that makes you laugh! Wonderful memories for sure!
Even if that mug gets cracked or chipped, keep it because of the good memories!!
Love it..:-)
I have never been to Disney Land or Disney World, lucky you! Sounds like a wonderful time with family. My favorite coffee cup is a redware one I got in a really neat store in Amish country. Love the color of redware.
Looks like some good books you read.
