- Only one thing is certain about coffee.... Wherever it is grown, sold, brewed, and consumed, there will be lively controversy, strong opinions, and good conversation.

Yesterday you saw my .43 cent cup, and I made do with it for 2 days, Thursday AM I hit the thriftstores and the first store I visited,
yielded these two Corning Ware replica's of the one I shattered, except for the color.
99 cents each

This one had an Extra, it said Home Sweet Home and I fell in love with it AND there were Two, which is important since at my ripe old age of ___ I keep dropping them .
I took it HOME to My Home Sweet Home.
Total cups Found, FIVE: One at .43, 2 @ .99 and 2 @ .59 for a grand total of $3.59

I guess you might say we had coffee together this morning!
Best,

Way to go Sandra! I knew you'd find the perfect cup and now you've even got spares for backup!
I am behind on your blogs as usual. I have been back and read the cup blogs. Love the 23rd Cup! You are so funny! Love the Gopher It cup and glad you found some spares. Are these cups made out of Correlle? (? sp.) We had a set of dishes many years ago that these cups remind me of. (shape and size) I loved those cups. They were small, not like a mug. Keep entertaining us...
Love ya, Madeline
I love your coffee cup selections and the price! My middle name is cheap too:)
I love it...hubby tends to measure everything too..to prove his guesstimation was correct....and he usually is....I haven't a clue on measurements...cute cups..
Ahhhh, The suspense was killing me. Would Sandra find another magical coffee cup with the right kind of sipping rim, so she will not spill coffee all down the front of her nightgown, a two fingered coffee mug. Or would she have to go the rest of her life with coffee drouling down the sides of her face and chin.
Sandra found the cups Hoooray.
What a suspense filled post. LOL
Oh that last mug is too cute. Glad you found a new favourite!
Awww! He's decorated his burrow with a candle standing in some pebbles, and a wall plaque! I have never seen a real gopher, I suppose the nearest thing to them that we have is groundhogs. I'm so glad you broke that mug!
Exactly what you wanted, a great price and going green with purchasing pre-owned instead of new. In the Skupien clan that kind of purchase gets the kudos plus I really enjoyed your thriftshop saga.Hope the hunt was as fun for you as it was for me!
These are too cute and best part was you got more than what you were looking for! I could use a few more cups, which have a chip or two but my bowels are worse-
You are so funny Sandra. I don't think I could have passed up the last two cups either. They are my kind of cups too. Love the rounded lip for less dribbling.
What a saga and Thrift store is my middle name.
Great finds Sandra and now because it's early morning here down-under you've got me heading down the hall-way for a nice coffee!
What a caffeine buzz lies ahead for you!!! Love those last two.
I understand,you have to measure them.When it comes to coffee one can never be too careful.Enjoy those future cups of hot coffee,whichever cup you choose to use.
hmmmm i still don't get it but i loved your post! haha

I'm glad your cup has been replaced -- five times over. I'm glad they all measured up to the required 8oz.
Well my favorite is the Home Sweet Home one - glad you found so many that work out so good for you and all hold the same amount of coffee - how many cups do you drink a day?
Cute, Sandra!!!! Glad you found one (or several) that you like.... Now--if you break one, you have some other choices!!!
Hugs,
Betsy
what happens when you wake the gopher? Does he go back to sleep?
What coffee are you making?
Oh my goodness, Sandra, you hit the coffee cup jackpot. I absolutely love the Gopher It cups, they are so cute.
Bob sounds like Steve, "Never Mind" is a common phrase around our house.
OH, You did find a cup! I know, it takes a lot of effort to finding the perfect one. I found one and went back to get the last 4 of them. And will wonders never cease, I still have them all.... Murphy's law.... until I head down into the kitchen... wanta' bet what happens just because I talked about it.
Again, you an Bob are a scream... I would love to see a sitcom of your life.... What a visual.
I get the same kind of thing from Wade. He shakes his head at me A LOT...lol
I love the gopher mugs, those are adorable. What bargains you got too.
You are my kind of shopper! I love Thrift Stores! That's where I go first if I'm looking for something like mugs or baskets. I recently bought a tray that had the original price sticker on it - 17.99. I got it for a dollar!
I like it, too...and like the price! I love coffee cups/mugs and teacups but I DO NOT collect. I got rid of a bunch of them because they just took up too much room.
