Yes, I’m back again. I took a small break from writing on here just because life got in the way and I didn’t feel like sharing much to be honest. However, we up! One of the things holding me together have been morning rituals and the first thing I do in the morning is have a *decent cup of coffee in the morning.
*(debatable)
And as a result, I’ve started collecting cups from local ceramic online stores in and around Cape Town.
We’re lucky enough to have quite a few local brands making ceramic pieces and some who offer clay workshops, so you can learn how to make your own.
This past year, I’ve been checking out quite a few local ceramists selling their goods because first of all, they make great birthday gifts. Secondly, I’ve been sucked into the world of semi-silent (and very aesthetic) Korean vloggers and one of them has an exceptional cup collection. So naturally, I wanted one too.
Anyways, since then, I’ve bought mugs for friends and expanded my own collection.
If you have any suggestions, share away. But here’s some of the brands and creators I have on my wishlist (and in my cupboard!)
