Blog updates

New updates to the blog are complete :)

I have been searching for an updated price guide for the Moomin mug collection but haven't been able to find anything published in the last few years, so I made one myself. 

You can find it at:

http://moomin-mugs.blogspot.fi/p/moomin-mugs-price-guide.html

I also added the new Mug Valley section, which I hope will encourage you to send in a picture of your mug collection, no matter how big or small it is. If you have your own blog I will be more than happy to provide a link with the photo. Send your photos to moommikke(a)gmail.com

New mug :)

My new mug has finally arrived!


The unique and hard to find 2014 Tove Jubilee mug with eyeglasses is finally part of my collection. The mug represents the 100th anniversary of the birth of Tove Jansson (1914-2001). Arabia has designed the limited edition mug based on Jansson's book, The Dangerous Journey (1977). In the book, Susanna loses her eyeglasses, but finds new ones to replace them. Every sixth Tove Jubilee mug has the eyeglasses located on the inside of the mug. 


Moomin, Tove Jubilee
