My Facemug Makes Me Happy

My facemug is one of my most prized possessions.

Sure it's cheesy, it's small, and coffee cups are a necessary part of life if you drink hot stuff, but that's what makes it so valuable.

I see my facemug (no I haven't named him, but I do think it's a him now that I think about it) every day, and every time that I see it, it makes me smile.

What more can you ask for?

I first saw a facemug at the Island Park Craft Fair in Fargo, ND in 2008.

I loved the mugs, but I had to admit that the price was a bit steep.

After seeing the mugs, then walking around to look at the rest of the fair, my husband and I decided to go ahead and buy one each.

After all, it wouldn't be nearly as much fun if we had to share, would it?

I really loved the fact that there was a variety of sizes, shapes and colors, so I could pick a mug that I liked, and that felt comfortable to me.

Although my face mug only has white teeth, some of the mugs had gold teeth, and some of them even had clear crystal teeth.

The faces were also all different, so you can pick the ones you like the best.

Although at around $45 it was very expensive, it is art, and it's something I use every day.

It also makes me smile every time I see it, and that makes it worth it.

After all, guaranteed happiness in the morning is always a good thing!

This is the website of the guy who sold me my facemug!

Actually, his wife sold it to me at the Island Park Craft Fair.

Whether it's coffee, tea, cocoa, milk, or water, do you have a favorite mug or glass that makes it taste that much better?

In addition to facemugs, Josh Boock also makes more traditional pottery.

Here are some of his other pieces.

Yeah, I think they're cute, but some people don't want to want to face something that can bite back the first thing in the morning.
