Glee! A blend of two of my favorite obsessions, coffee and steampunk! archers_elegant posted about her handcrafted steampunk coffee-cup sleeves over in steamy_stitches. Go see! They are lovely!

Your mug, I said. Not your face. :D So, a couple of days ago a friend and I talked about starting a thread in the Cafe where everyone could share pictures of their favorite coffee mugs.

This is it! :D

And as long as we are talking about mugs, let's all go admire the wackinesss at Olive Sandwiches's (love that name) coffee mug shop. And lets not forget that old classic webpage, The Gallery Of Ugly Mugs at my very own CocoaJava.com.

And to start things off.... here's my favorite mug! I've had it FOREVER. Well, okay, I've had it since it followed me home from an ex-boyfriends house a million years ago. It's been all over the country with me. It's held a billion cups of coffee, and for a couple of years, was full of dirt and a spider plant. I love it dearly!

Andriana emailed me to tell me about a song she did called "Coffee Dream". So I played it, and now I'm dead from the CUTE!!!! Go look.

The song can also be downloaded on Itunes at:
