I collect National Park mugs

When we visit America’s National Parks I look for these clay pottery mugs in their gift shops. They are hand made by The Deneen Company of St Paul, Minnesota. They keep a cup of coffee hotter longer than any other cup I own. We visited 5 national parks on a 5,000 mile plus road trip in 2019, and I purchased mugs at three of them (they sell out so quickly). This Bryce Canyon mug is for my red rainbow today.

What a wonderful reminder of your trip especially since it keeps your coffee hot longer. It makes a perfect red photo for you.

What a lovely mug. Every time you have a coffee it will remind you of your trip

Brings back memories for me to Lou Ann, visited Bryce Canyon National Park both in 2008 and 2011, what a fantastic place to spend some time:)

The sort of thing I would collect too, the keeping coffee hot is a real bonus as I hate Luke warm drinks! It’s very attract e too!

@grammyn @onewing @beryl @ludwigsdiana @joansmor @mittens @julzmaioro @danette @pcoulson @carolmw @happypat @lynnz @carole_sandford @ingrid01 @bkbinthecity @happysnaps thank you all so much for your wonderful comments. To be sure, I have fancy cups for company, those cups don’t keep coffee or tea hot long at all. When we finally get around to downsizing I am sure my National Park mugs will be the only ones I take. Smile. @julzmaioro “a son named Bryce”, yes you do need this mug! I’ve seen the NP mugs on eBay, you might look there. Since the park’s gift shops sell out of the mugs so fast I doubt this one is available, I can’t imagine what the postage fee would be, the mugs aren’t super heavy but they aren’t “fine China” lightweight, either.

Nice mug.

That's a fun collection to have. I was collecting magnets from my travels until the refrigerator became overrun with them! Good one for red.

Great way to remember beautiful places that you visit. I always get one or other souvenir of places I visit though I rarely look at them in the house.
