Small Joys Make Great Days Mug

It's the small joys that make the great days.

A cup of coffee painted in broad strokes of black, grey and gold, set on its saucer with a gilded spoon. The steam rises and closes into a heart above the cup. To the right, a vase of white flowers stands out against a sketched façade; below, three coffee beans and a sugar cube. The line unfolds on the left in handwriting, two words underlined in gold.

A gift for those who take their mornings seriously: someone who makes a ritual of the first coffee, a colleague with an eye for elegant things, a Mother's Day, a thank-you. A gentle line, with no irony and no double meaning — which is rarer than it sounds, and sometimes exactly what you want.
