Giant Retro Tea Mug

Well, no, I didn't exactly *need* a new oversized tea mug, but this one caught my eye at T.J. Maxx the other day and I realized that for $3.99, this would make a dandy pen and pencil holder!

This is, I believe, the first tea mug I've ever come across that featured a paper band around the middle telling me it's a Giant Retro Tea Mug. The bottom of the mug is marked Retro Tea, Creative Tops Ltd. The band indicates it was made in China but designed/marketed in Great Britain.

I just love the cheery graphics on this mug, and I truly am going to use this as an office supply. Teawares: they're not just for breakfast anymore!

  2. Nice find! Don't you just love TJ Maxx?!? I stopped by the one near my office yesterday, looking for those English tea tins I decided I needed to have after all, lol - without success, unfortunately. But I did pick up a cute Rose of England mug that said "Where There Is Tea There Is Hope." (So true!) You can always count on TJ Maxx to have some nifty tea-related stuff! :-)

  3. Cute mug. Mugs are the best for holding pens and pencils.

  4. That's too cute, Angela - you find the neatest things! I saw some large, oversized tea cups & tea pots, for the garden, at WalMart's outdoor shop, they were very colorful. Thanks for sharing,
