Of Mermaids and Beautiful Browns

As always, click the images for a larger view.

I walked into Starbucks the other day, and as usual, I perused the coffee mug rack before making my way to the counter. Instantly, I was drawn to a new display of beautiful brown mugs. What is this?! A mermaid mug?! Certainly it was inevitable that the Starbucks mermaid would make her way onto a coffee mug, but this was outstanding! I knew I was going to buy it before I even picked up, before I had even looked at the price tag. Not only is it covered in a swirly, oceany mermaid scene, but it's got the most gorgeous mixture of deep browns and bronzes (on a creamy colored mug). I am in. love. with this mug!
