31 DAYS OF COFFEE MUGS: Don't Borrow Trouble Borrow Money Coffee Mug

I apologize in advance if this humorous vintage coffee mug is no longer available. However, some mugs just beg to be shared and I wanted to add this one to my collection here online before it disappeared forever.

What is it about this mug that appealed to me? Well, the comment on the side made me smile. It reads, "Don't borrow trouble, borrow money then trouble will follow you."

Of course, the bold orange color is also appealing.

Created by Prestige Ceramics and Crown Art Products in Canada, it would surely be a one of a kind gift idea for someone who is in the business of borrowing (or should I say lending) money, LOL.

If you are interested in buying it - maybe you are a banker - visit Swhirling Dervish's store on Etsy by clicking this link. If this one is no longer available, maybe you will find another vintage mug that appeals to you.

MUGS ON MONDAY: A Maxine Coffee Mug

I see so many fun mugs on my travels that I thought I might start  a new series, MUGS ON MONDAY and I thought I would start with this mug.

If you are familiar at all with Maxine, you will know that she is a wisecracking crotchety older lady attempting to, ah, "embrace" old age.

Maxine was created in 1986 by John Wagner for Hallmark's Shoebox Greetings division. According to Hallmark, she is the only greeting card character who has successfully moved from the world of the greeting card to the world of pop culture. As a matter of fact, she now has her own books, comic strip, calendars, website and, as is evidenced on this page, mugs.

And what a fun this mug is with Maxine quipping, "Water is just coffee that hasn't reached it's full potential." I know most of you will agree, whether you are Maxine's age or not.

Maxine's sole purpose in life is putting a smile on your face. I hope she has helped you smile today via this clever coffee mug, which has been discontinued. It is available sometimes from sellers on eBay by clicking here.

EBAY CARTOON: A Picture Really Is Worth A Thousand Words

Whichever side of the transaction you find yourself on on eBay, be it the buyer or the seller or maybe even both, you are found to enjoy the sentiment shared on this New Yorker cartoon by Lee Lorenz.  

The caption reads, "It's eBay fever - we'll have to pull the plug." A sentiment that can be applied equally to both the eBay shopping addict and the eBay selling hoarder. 

If you are the buyer, you can relate to finding all kinds of cool, unique, unusual, new, used and vintage treasures on eBay.

If you are an eBay seller, you are well aware of how easy it is to find merchandise to sell on eBay and how quickly it can pile up if you do not stay on top of listing...

'Till next time, keep on doing whichever it is you do!   I'll try to keep on listing.
