Regular readers will have seen many of our Moomin mugs featuring in blog posts over the years. I finally got them all out of the cupboard and counted them – 14 in all. They are made by Arabia Finland. Here they are….
At the top: Hattifatteners, Moomintroll, and Snufkin. Then we have the Moominpapa collection and Moominmama.
Front and back views of some of the mugs.

Thank you for my biggest smile of the day! Estonian-born, I naturally love EVERYTHING Arabia produces – am actually about to send away for a couple > have picked the Hattifatteners and the sweet cuddling couple . . . but am still going eeny-meeny-maany-mo 😉 ! A hug across the Ditch for the gorgeous photos . . .

Thought you might like to see the collection! For some reason, the Snork Maiden only appears once. Next time….

Those are so cute! And I’m so glad not to be washing that big pile of dishes. My face would look like that too.

The Moomin products have actually been around since the 1950s apparently.
