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….

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

A difficult question! I like Snufkin as a character, but favourite mug? That is hard…the one with Moominmamma on the right but I also like the one with Moomin and the Snork Maiden.
