Emily Mug by Laura Boggess

Self portrait in a mug?

Yes. If you take a cool picture of yourself reflected in (or overshadowing) one of our beautiful TSPoetry mugs (or a mug of your own), we’ll post your picture and a link to you on our Facebook Wall.

Take a peek at our beautiful mugs here.

Post entries accepted through March 31st.

Top entry will receive a choice of:

1. a poem written just for you, put on a mug with a gorgeous photo from Kelly Sauer Photography

2. a poem of your own, put on a mug with choice of Kelly Sauer photo (photo options to come 🙂

TSPoetry and Emily Wierenga mug Laura Boggess is the sweet person offering to have the winner’s custom poem (or a poem of his/her own) put on a mug with Kelly Sauer’s gorgeous photography. Here’s to beautiful mornings with a beautiful cuppa!

    Alrighty then, miss L.L., since I don’t have Facebook, here is my link:

    There’s even a song about me at the end of the post… I am famous. Not really, just a bit odd.

    Blessings.

    Loved this, Darlene. Tried to comment at your place, but the comment box didn’t like me unlogged, or something like that. 🙂

    Unlogged? I don’t even know what that means. All I can think of is a clogged drain and large lumbermen.

    I’m glad you loved it though.
    And told me so. In this place
    of rhymes and reasons
    and poetry-making in
    any season; rain, sleet,
    snow; there’s always a bit o’ fun,
    fancy, or hula-dancing going
    on around this starlit
    abc town.

    Blessings.
