Jugs, Mugs and Rugs

If quilts weren't my main preoccupation the title of this blog could well be the title to this post.

I have always loved jugs and have bought them for many years, yet I never consider myself a collector.  That to me means dedication of purpose - searching for them. I don't do this - I acquire them when and where I see them and I have acquired a goodly number both old and new. They are grouped around my house and I haven't counted them and I won't.  When I go on  holiday they are my chosen souvenir together with their rhyming companions, mugs and rugs - well it's a harmless enough obsession?

My mother and I have bought quite a few rugs on day trips.  On one occasion in Oxford, seeing one in the window of a shop as the bus entered the bus park and buying it as soon as we alighted!  I blame it on inheritance, my Great Grandmother's influence, but that is a story for a future post!


This is my introductory jug - you will probably be seeing more - a 19th Century Staffordshire Blue and White filled with single Lace Cap Hydrangea head.  Naturally jugs are my favoured flower containers!

Hello Everyone! I’m here to explore blogs and forums about the wonderful and most safe cure for Herpes Simplex Virus(HSV). I was positive to the herpes virus and I lost hope because I was outcast and rejected even by my closest friends. I searched online to find out about a cure for HERPES and I read someone testimony on how she was cured from HSV-2, So I decided to contact the same herbalist because I know that nature has the power to heal everything. I contacted Dr Lucky Remedies to know how he can help me and he told me never to worry that he will help me with the natural herbs from God! After 2 days of contacting him, he told me that the cure has been ready and he sent it to me via DHL and it got to me after 3 days! I used the med as he instructed me Twice Daily For Two weeks (MORNING and EVENING) and i was cured! it’s really like a dream but i’m so happy! That’s the reason I decided to also add more comments of Him so that more can be saved just like me and if you need His help, you can Whatsapp him on +2347071651140 or email him on drluckyherbalcure@gmail.com visit his Facebook https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61591862979025
