Those who know me well are fully aware that I
adore Starbucks. When I saw on Instagram that Suki was hosting a swap for the
new You Are Here Starbucks mugs, I jumped at the chance. Living out in the
‘burbs like I do, I had to go on a mini quest to find the Seattle mug, but find
it I did. Inspired by the colors of the mug, I whipped up a quick mug rug for
my swap partner. To me, the mug rug looks like one of two things: the Seattle
skyline on a cloudy day, or majestic Mt. Rainier. I also sent a few other things,
including a bar of Theo chocolate, which is made locally.
On the flip side of the swap, I love what my
swap partner, Melissa of Crafty Goods, sent me. Instead of sending me a
mug from her home state, she picked up the Banff mug for me while on vacation,
which was super sweet of her. (Banff is in Alberta, Canada. I had to look it
up.) Melissa also sent me an adorable zippered pouch in typewriter fabric,
which I love, several fat quarters of Alison Glass Sun Print Feathers, tailor’s chalk, and lots of
chocolate. I feel quite spoiled.
A big thanks to Suki for organizing this swap
and Melissa for being an awesome swap partner. If you are interested in
participating, I believe there is a waiting list for the next round. Stop by the Flickr group for more information.
