Mug Love
A little blue bird has flown into my home!
Designed by Jane Sassaman, this mug is a glossy version of Strawberry Serenade from her new range Early Birds.
I love all the little details of Jane's fabrics. I keep turning my mug around in rapture. She has a knack for bringing fantastic gardens to life in such wonderful vibrant colours.The little critters, fabulous dandy dandelions, curly tendrils, leaves full of character...
...and don't those strawberries look delicious!
I even love the inside of the cup, a beautiful rich azure.
But wait, there's more!! My friend Chris knows of my red and white polka dot fetish and surprised me with this pair of espresso cups and saucers.
Aren't they fabulous and fun!!
I bet all this talk about mugs and cups has made you feel like a cuppa. Well, can I suggest you go and make one, then come back, settle in and enjoy this video of Jane talking about her Early Birds range. Look out for the giant gingham, primroses and the border print... oohh lovely!!
Cheery Cheers!

Can you believe...I just sat down with my cuppa to catch up with my blog reading and see this amazing mug! It's beautiful!!Would you like a mug rug with that? Now off to check out the video!
ReplyDeleteI'm back from watching the video!!! I loved how Jane would touch and smooth the fabric out with her hand, picking of little threads- she obviously loves that fabric! The poppies were my favourite! Are you telling how you came across your lovely mug?
ReplyDeleteHi, Rachael. What a mug! and I enjoyed the video. How could one possibly choose among those gorgeous fabrics? Looking forward to following your projects.
ReplyDeletebest, nadia
I am so glad it arrived safe and sound and I am still a little green eyed - lol.
ReplyDeleteLove the spotty set, so cute. They would work well in my house too. So if either disappear you'll know where they are - rofl.
I have a need for more Sassaman fabric. I might even use some one day.
Love that jane mug, I need to find those here!
ReplyDeleteok, the polka dot cups are just toooo cute!

Its a beauty of a cup. I love the blue inside. I would certainly enjoy drinking out of it. The red and white spot cups are cute!
ReplyDeleteI love a funky mug, this one is wonderful. I enjoyed the video, especially how Jane strokes the fabric, I'd be doing that too.
ReplyDeleteThat is a great mug and after watching the video I NEED some of that gorgeous fabric!!!!!

ReplyDeleteciao
I love Jane's fabrics! And it is puzzling to me because I seldom see her mentioned....like all the other designers. But her fabrics are fabulous!!! Just adore the polka dot cups! Okay...going to get another cup!
ReplyDeleteJane's mug is right at home with you! And with those red polka dot espresso cups. Just the thing to perk you up--no matter what's on the inside.
ReplyDeleteWow....what a great new line! I'm in love the with Poppies....in all three ways! Thanks for sharing the video! And I love your mug and tea cups! Fun!
ReplyDeletewow, I love the Jane S mug. Beautiful rich colors. The blue is lovely too -
ReplyDeleteyour r&w dot cups are adorable!
so cute for Christmas time.
Love those cups! Thank you for the video. I really enjoyed it. I'm going to have to look for those fabrics!
ReplyDeleteThis is knowledge I did NOT need! I LOVE Jane Sassaman & have something of a collection of bright birds on black fabrics (not just hers) that will now be growing. ;)
ReplyDeleteAnd I am on a search for that beautiful mug!
I love to have my coffee out of mugs like that . They make it taste twice as good.
ReplyDeleteAnd dots ! How cute!
I'm not going to look at any more fabric. After my crazy buying spree lately I think divorce would be on the cards if I bought any more...
The mug the fabric all scrumptious. Thanks for the show and tell. Do you have a project in mind? I like that Jane used her hand to show the scale of the prints.
ReplyDeleteJust checked out Jane's site. Congratulations on your win!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a cool mug, the colors are just what I like too! Dots are always a favorite and red and white are perfect together.
ReplyDeleteI took a workshop with Jane a few years back. She is a lovely lady and very inspirational!
Fabulous mug and I've fallen for this fabric range. So gorgeous.
ReplyDeletePolka dots....YES! Especially those red and white cups are darling!!! I too enjoy Jane Sassaman, although I haven't been quite sure how to use them to the best of their potential...maybe this line?!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for leaving me a comment. Your kind words encourage me to keep sharing my work and stories.
