The 'Old Lady Mug' ~ Watercolour & Pencil

This old fashioned floral mug has been in service in our house for about 20 years. I can't actually remember how we came by it, I have always loved the blue floral design and the completely circular handle, it holds just the perfect amount too.

It's a year ago today that this fine man passed away, a good man. Golly always made me smile and left me feeling better for having been in his company. 

01/01/2015 New Year's Day. 'View Towards the Packing Shed' ~ DailySketch
