MUGS ON MONDAY: Pretty Blue Mother's Day Mug

Burton & Burton's Awesome Mom porcelain coffee mug is pretty awesome, don't you think?

It's a hand painted mug done in the prettiest shades of blue and beige with the words written in brown.

It is dishwasher and microwave safe and will hold 14 ounces of your mother's favorite steaming hot beverage.

It features perfect five-star reviews from the Amazon customers, too.

A nice bonus for those whose budget is strapped is that it retails for less than $10 on Amazon, which makes it a truly budget friendly, useful gift idea for Mother's Day.

31 DAYS OF COFFEE MUGS: Marsala Red Color of the Year (2015) Coffee Mugs

According to the color experts at the Pantone Color Institute, the color of the year for 2015 is marsala.

Marsala is a reddish-brown colour that Pantone calls “a smooth, rich, earthy wine tone” inspired by the a city called Marsala in Sicily, Italy.

I think that adding accents of marsala would be a great way to add a bit of this fashionable, warm colour to your home décor without adding too much of a strong colour.

Here's a peek at the sample from Pantone. Marsala is colour number 18-1438.

Panatone says, "Nurturing and fulfilling, Marsala is a natural fit for the kitchen and dining room – making it ideal for tabletop, small appliances and linens throughout the home."  I like it though I realize it is not for everyone.  It is exactly the hit of red that I might choose to add if I were redecorating my family room or kitchen.

Today's post, number 27 in my 31 DAYS OF COFFEE MUGS, is therefore dedicated to a few lovely marsala-colored coffee mugs. Because I do not actually own all of these mugs, I am relying on the color representation delivered to me online. I hope that these colors are true in real life. Please let me know if you experience anything otherwise.

At the top of this page, I've shared a pair of Starbucks' Stacking coffee mugs. Starbucks calls the color mulberry but I think that it is a fine stand in as a marsala-colored mug. It is a 2013 mug that is now discontinued. You will likely be able to find them here on eBay.

Pfaltzgraff's Everyday Calico Mug, with a checkered  shown above, is of varied colors, including a reddish brown marsala. Now apparently discontinued, you can turn to eBay to find it by clicking right here.

Then there is Burton & Burton's inspirational Marsala Dad themed mug. It's a handsome choice, perfect for Father's Day and dad's birthday. You can find it on Amazon here.
