Hola, my dear Hivers! I was cleaning my cabinet earlier and realized how much mugs and plates i've accumulated all through out the years.
Back when I was still studying, my stress reliever was buying some cheap mugs, about 1 usd, in the downtown malls. I'm into cute tea cups and small mugs but not so much on the huge ones. I love drinking coffee and tea so these cups are very useful too me. I alternately use them daily.
This animal printed mug was my favorite in college that i used to bring in school. The best part is it's microwavable.
This transparent tea mug used to have a cover on top but unfortunately, it got lost somewhere in our kitchen.
It was only during pandemic when i started collecting plates and saucers. I mostly buy them online from a Japanese surplus. They were my happy pill back then (and until now). And because they are my collection, I barely used them at home, afraid that they might be broken.
I read somewhere that peonies symbolizes love in Chinese so when i saw these plates online, I immediately bought 3 pieces. Plus having a pair of peonies in the plate is a double luck in love, in my own belief. Unfortunately, one peony plate got broken, leaving me with only 2 pcs.
Another favorite of mine is this Buddha saucer which symbolizes good luck. I truly believe in these things that's why I bought it. But also because the plates are beautiful.
Currently, these mugs are already hidden in my drawer and are being preserve. I also stopped buying new items as my drawer is already full. But my love for mugs and plate wares will forever remain. Each of these collection holds great memories that i hope to preserve with me forever.
That's it for today's blog. See you in my next one!
Sending some love and light
With love, Jane
Pahingi mug pang kape 😂

I also liked the one with the animals, they are all beautiful and well preserved. Good collection.
Thank youu :)
Hi @jane911x
The animal-printed mug is super cute, I love it. The transparent one too, I just realized that it has also printed something on it when I went back to see the photo for the second time. I hope the cover will appear one day, it usually happens to me that I can't find some items (for example when I make a collection post haha) and later they appear 😁
The blue plate with the flowers is impressive!
Thank you for sharing with us your collection 😇
Yes, it has a printed Chinese characters in it. You have a great eye vision.
Very nice your collection, I have a friend who also likes to collect mugs.
Thank you! Mugs are too cute not to be collected. Hehe
nice collection. HAPPY 2025! 🥳
And you're back! Finally! Welcome back Mr Chinito :)
A few years ago I had the need to give mugs to everyone, until one day someone told me not to even think about giving them a mug and I didn't do it anymore hahaha your peony plates are divine, too bad one of them broke, but you have the other two left ❤️
Hahaha, mugs were the topic exactly one year ago, and scrolling down through the community feed I noticed there were quite many entries! That was a good topic I think 😇
I should gather all the topics we had... 😉
P.S. but plates we didn't have, so maybe one day it is a good option for a topic ;)
How sad, I missed it... dishes will then be hahahahaha
pero pero pero, Buhito... puedes traer tus tazas si quieres, fuera de monthly theme 😉
But don't forget about the socks 😁
