Last week I blogged about the super-cute shop Gleaners Inc. As usual, I couldn't visit a shop selling second-hand kitchenalia without making a small purchase! I came away with these very gorgeous Japanese mugs with the most amazing pattern details.
I love that the mugs are in three colours and the patterns are all different - with a mix of geometric and floral motifs. I already have a small collection of these style of Japanese mugs - but I'd never before come across any quite so intricate or patterned!
The above mugs are ones I already had and which have featured in some of my illustrations and sketches, so the new patterned ones will be a great addition to my growing collection.

These cups reminded me of when I was a little girl.. a neighbor lady who was my mum's friend used to make a cup of Milo with a cup which was a very similar design :)
