Mug Appreciation from Louisiana

Wednesday, March 17th, 2010
This was an email that we received  a while back that should have been added here more recently! After returning from the Innkeeping Conference and Trade Show I am energized and empowered to do that little bit extra – Like posting on our blog! The answer to the question that Pamela has is YES… We can make an order of mugs without medallions. The cost is $15.00 each for a single style in one color for one address.

Hi ,my name is Pamela Matherne. I am from Houma , Louisiana. My husband and I were passing through Wagonwheel Gap , CO. and stayed at the Blue Creek Lodge.

Eighth Day Books & Mugs…

In September of last year I received a catalog request from Warren Farha, the owner of Eighth Day Books, of Wichita, KS. As I was filling out the envelope I searched google and came across their webpage and I saw this quote, “that which is true, is ours”. Little did I know that we would make an order of handmade mugs for Warren, and that that order would have a ‘true’ story of it’s own.

So the very first day that EIGHTH day books had their mugs, they sold EIGHT… How Cool! (more…)
