Mugs & Cups

Pink and green subway tile-style mug with flowers in the design.

Starbucks Barista-brand flowery mug

I bought this off Depop (10/2024) and it's instantly become one of my favourites. She's light, got a nice handle to hold hot drinks. From 2004 when the Starbucks Barista brand was a thing. I bring her to work, wrapped in the safety of my apron, whenever I want to make hot drinks. Pictured: Sugar cookie almondmilk latte. I did not like it all.


Dark blue, rounded mug with a graphic of McKenzie View Bed & Breakfast, Eugene, Oregon, etched into the side. Same mug with teabags inside.

McKenzie View B&B mug

Bed-and-breakfast mug from Eugene, OR that I got in the Cedar Hills Goodwill. One of my fav mugs for tea since it's easy to hold when the inside is near scalding.

Food & Beverage

'Meld Zen' Baladin soda, ~2010

Like a mix between ginger ale and Martinelli's sparkling, I picked this up because the glass bottle with Old World style was appealing. It was in the back of a olive oil tasting house in Bellingham, Washington, January of 2025. I read about Baladin online and they seem to be a niche brewery in Italy.

Clothing

Military button-up, ~1970s

Found this old olive-green military dress shirt from a thrift store in Bellingham, WA in August of 2024. Very light and easy to put together in an outfit. My fav part is probably the way the cuffs fold tightly. Always a fan of dress shirts with two uniform pockets.
