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

Hahaha. Pahingi ng kape pang lagay sa mug 😂

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 ❤️

@mipiano we have a potential collection around here 👀 unless it has already been presented and I missed it 😂

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
