I am damp but not mildewed yet. How about you?
What are your weekend PlanS? I have a “date” to meet a gentleman from my dating service this weekend so wish me luck.
Keeping in the warm category: Today it’s coffee or more to the point coffee cups. I have a couple in my inventory: A collectible with Norman Rockwell painting on it and one I’m researching today: A Halloween Horror Nights (Universal Studio’s extravaganza) with a jack-o-lantern being attached by a chainsaw, neat huh?
OK Google found me an interesting group:
The most popular theme seemed to be various M&M figures ( there were a lot of various companies, place and attractions cups of course)
The weirdest a Lady Godiva mug with a very out of focus nude on a horse appearing on a coffee mug
The most expensive was a large Bugs Bunny ceramic mug for $24.99.
And finally I haven’t a clue from Spokane Washington “collectible” with a Sherriff Ozzie Knezanich picture and emblem on it.
