Miffy mug & others

From cupping events to cups, or mugs to be accurate! I've had a really good run of mugs as gifts this past fortnight. There's the lovely Miffy mug (one of my childhood heroes), the Snoopy mug, another hero and not exactly a gift 'cause I found it in a charity shop but I bought it with birthday money. And then there's the retro 'drink me' mug.
So my mug collection continues to grow but I do make sure I rotate them on my mug stands so that I can appreciate them.

Miffy, Snoopy & wool

I saw the Modern Art documentary last week about Matisse and was delighted to see Dick Bruna interviewed about how Matisse inspired the simple shapes and colours of Miffy. 
As a huge fan of Miffy I also realised that I didn't have the Miffy At The Gallery book so whilst in York yesterday I tracked it down in a shop with some fab retro cartoon character merchandise. I also couldn't resist these Snoopy badges for my Peanuts collection.


The 'wool' is some rather groovy thread which is made from recycled saris and I thought it would crochet up into some nice, colourful flower brooches.
