As I write this on Tuesday afternoon, my parents who live on the west coast of Florida (Fort Myers) have evacuated to a hotel room on the east coast in advance of Hurricane Milton’s arrival. My thoughts are with everyone in the path of this storm as well as those of you who got hit with the last one. Whether it’s nasty storms or some other sort of adversity, I hope the sun will be shining on you again soon!
I can’t control the weather (and neither can anyone else despite weird online conspiracy theories to the contrary) but I can try to brighten someone’s day with a free mug. So, I am giving away one of my Halloween-themed “Boo!” mugs to one lucky reader. I had fun last year creating these cute patchwork critters and pumpkins and wanted to share the fun with you.
All you need to do to get yourself in the running to win this mug is to let me know what beverage you would most like to sip from it. You can let me know either in a comment or by sending a reply to this email. There are no wrong answers! But hurry, you have until Monday, October 14th to get your responses to me. I’ll randomly draw one winner. If you happen to be reading this internationally, I’m sorry but due to shipping costs this giveaway is only open to U.S. readers. Good luck to all!

P.S. In case you were wondering, I would definitely be sipping some tea from this mug. I think in honor of fall, I would make it a mug full of Bigelow’s Constant Comment tea, which has a nice orange spice flavor.

Mulled wine. Love the mug!
Irish Creme!!!
What a fun surprise in light of all this tragedy going on with the weather. I work for a company who has locations throughout the east coast most are in line of both these hurricanes. So helping out our employees and ensuring they are safe has been difficult since we can’t reach them physically.
Let’s pray and be hopeful this turns out better than anticipated
I grind my own coffee beans and fresh brew, so that would be what would enhance this mug every morning.
Hot Chocolate with whip cream and a small amount of rum with a good book to read in front of my fireplace !
Coffee! That’s my hot beverage of choice. We don’t need anything more to scare us than this hurricane/tornado warnings. Stay safe everyone.😘❤️
I would drink the heck out of my coffee with that sweet mug!!
Oh my gosh I love Bigelow Tess and esp constant comment. So that’s what I would sip. Also I love so many teas. I use Taylor’s and Tea Forte I believe it’s called. Enjoyed your post as always. I’m reading One Plus One by JoJo Moyes.
I Love the mug!!! It would fit in perfectly with the rest of my Halloween decorations!!! I would sip my hot tea, hot chocolate, or even an alcoholic beverage!!!
I would drink apple spiced cinnamon tea.
I think I would fill it with some Riesling wine and sit back and relax, just me and the cat.
My favorite tea: chamomile, vanilla and honey!
Either elderberry green tea, lemon echinacea black tea, or pomegranate green tea with honey depending on my mood
