mail bag

Hello DLGDyer
I came across your web page searching the net. I also collect coffee mugs from the places I have traveled to all over the world. I now have about 45 of them of various sizes and I desperately need to find a display that can mount on the wall to hold them. ... I'm getting married and though my fiance likes them they are not organized and are laying all around the house. I know I probably cant find one case that will hold all of them but it would be great if I could buy 2 or 3 and put them on the wall in my office. Please can you recommend a place that carries something like that?

There are many ways to display your mugs. I have about 300 mugs now and only put my favorite ones out. Perhaps the easiest and most decor oriented is the expanding coat hanging things (see attached picture with Starbucks city mugs). This method also probably allows the most mugs to be displayed in the least amount of space. Otherwise some shallow shelving would do the trick - this is more expensive and won't display as many mugs.

Hope that helps,
DLGDyer
