Yesterday was my lucky day.
We set out in the morning to finish our Christmas shopping and went to the the local Iittala store here in Oulu. While we were browsing around the store we noticed that they were changing various displays, including Tove's Jubilee mugs. I didn't think anything of it at the time, because displays get moved all the time to showcase different items and collections.
As we made our way to the check out counter, we were shocked to see eight brand new special edition mugs glasses mugs sitting next to it. Obviously noticing our shock, the cashier informed us that they were in fact for sale with a limit of one per customer. Apparently they had unpacked the remaining boxes and as you know, every sixth one is the limited edition version. Well, needless to say, we purchased our new mugs along with the rest of our gifts.
I am quite sure that the rest of the mugs did not sit on display for long and there were many smiling faces leaving the store that day. It was nice to see that customers had a chance to purchase the mugs with recent rumours of store workers always nabbing the special edition mugs before they even make it on display.
Merry Christmas!

2015 Moominhouse Mug sneak peak!
Here is a sneak peak at next year's new Moomin mug. To celebrate the 70th anniversary of Moomin the Moominhouse mug will be available starting the 3rd week of 2015.
The new Moomin mug will come with cardboard roof so you can build your very own Moominhouse. It is a very nice looking mug and I will definitely be adding one to my collection.
