This is your last chance at one of our blue coffee mugs. We are closing them out this month in the store. Here’s the story.
Last year, our warehouse flooded during a freak storm and the failure of our city’s stormwater system. We lost about 3,000 books in the flood, but other products got swamped, too.
Our final batch of our blue 12 oz. coffee mugs from Grey Fox Pottery in Wisconsin were submerged for several hours in the stormwater. It took us time to recover them from their cardboard packaging (which was ruined). During the last few weeks, we have cleaned off all the mugs and run them all through two sanitary cycles with high-strength detergent. They are cleaner now than when we first received them.
We are closing out this style of mug, so we are offering these at a significant discount. The mugs are safe for the dishwasher and the microwave. And are handmade by an artists’ collective. Quantities are limited. These are nice, handmade things at a crazy low price. Buy one here.
