Default So how many, and what do you do with them?

Being a big time java person, I think that every person who has ever known me, met me, or even said hello must have given me a mug or cup. Don't know how many, but when we moved the packers filled at least four moving boxes with nothing but mugs! That's not counting the cups, my many serving sets, or the daily used mugs & cups.

There comes a point when you just can't display and much less use all of them, but don't want to part with them either. So I've been working on the idea of making a water feature for my garden. Thinking about setting them up much like a champagne glass fountain, using a good quality compound to glue them together. Then making a saucer shaped base. Not sure if I would want to dye the water brown, but even with clear water, it might be an interesting way so show/use some of the excess mugs.

I've already turned several of the mugs into flower pots for little cacti.

So how many do you have, and what do you do with yours?

I have dozens, and they just sit there. I collect left handed mugs, a bit rarer.

Left handed mugs for the record, is when the ad, pic, whatever, faces the outside when held in the left hand.

So that's what that is! I have a couple of them, I just thought either it was an oops or they wanted the drinker to see it. LOL

So I guess I have some.... normal, south paw and a few ambidexteritous (graphic in middle).
