My birthday was last Monday, July 15th. I was pleasantly surprised by a gift from my husband: a massive annual mug put out by Royal Copenhagen. We scooped up a couple of these mugs, the years '71 & '74, on our trip to Copenhagen in 2015. The art on these pieces from the '60s and '70s can't be beat. My husband's year mug, the '71er, is still commonly found at Danish second-hand shops and on sites like E-Bay, but my year mug is an elusive creature. I can tell you that I was very happy to find one addressed to me in the mail last week.

We also took a trip out to Baker Beach the day before (Bastille Day), so I could stick my toes in the sand. The weather was to be as expected: slightly overcast, cool and windy. I should have worn another layer, but wasn't thinking. We sat on fold-up chairs, feet in sand & I hugged my handbag a bit for warmth. From our perch we had a decent view of the bridge as well.
Happy belated birthday (we share a birthday, you and I, but not the same year). I've not seen those mugs before - very nice! -Jenn

DeleteCold in SF?
ReplyDeleteSF is made up of 'micro-climates', but, yes, it's often chilly here at the Pacific Ocean. Our counted on warm weather comes first in autumn.
DeleteGreat design -- cold in July? We're burning. And happy days.
ReplyDeleteYes, it's often chilly here along the coast during the summer months. 'Turtleneck weather' was how I would refer to it when I was younger. :D
DeleteDamn I missed your Birthday. Glad you had a good time. Love the mug!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Joey!
