Who knew coffee mugs could take up two pages of conversation? :-) I have favorites too, but I wait to see which one "speaks" to me when I open the cabinet and that is my favorite for the day! You are on the right track going to the thrift stores. I see all kinds there and frequently ones from travel destinations, so keep shopping around and you may find your baby again!

Me too! I have (fortunately) 2 fave mugs.
Maybe your replacement is here somewhere? Some are a bit pricey!

This is MY coffee cup, I start with a hot cup of coffee in my huge mug, and sip on it and two more, then I I am done for the day. I have always loved Tinkerbell, and my DD got it for me years ago. No one uses it but me. 1/2 t. Local honey in the first 12 Oz cup, black after that. We buy the darkest roast coffee because it has the least amount of caffeine since a DH have high blood pressure, and like coffee, so this is our way to have coffee and not explode our hearts. I just can’t deal with decafinated coffee it gives me horrible heartburn, but regular dark roast does not. After my three cups of coffee, the only thing I drink in spring water. Nothing else.
*(Note the flat bottom? All my cups are this type now, I have had waaay too many flip over if I don’t get them “landed” properly. Lol.)

I found two nice mugs at a rummage sale with "feet". Or maybe it is called a "pedestal". I loved those cups because the bottom was quite large. Then I found another matching one at another rummage sale, miles away and a year or two later. My favorite cups. Then I broke one and my husband broke another. Now I have just one and it gets used several times every day . In the morning for my Cup-a-Joe and later for tea.

I hope you find your cup soon. Yes I'm right there with you. I have one that I got at Disneyland about 15 years ago. Wouldn't trade it for anything! My 'perfect cup' of coffee just starts the day out right.

For years... like 20, I used a mug my college roommate sent me for my 23rd birthday. It was from the Chicago Institute of Art and had a print of Ballerinas by Degas. I loved that mug! Then, 4 years ago, we remodeled our kitchen, and as a treat to myself, I purchased new Mikasa bone china dishes. Just plain white, but so perfect and pretty. I've started using the cups that came with the set. I love these cups, thin rimmed and pretty, and somehow, even though the cups are thin, they keep my coffee hot longer! Who knew!
