Tiny Mug, Full Heart
Kie Marrone
A reminder to find solace, when your milk may have spilled,
That your cup can both literal and spiritually be refilled.
By water, by tea,
By coffee or by me.
Whenever you feel a dip or a low,
Reach down, hold your mug, some grace to be shown.
For yourself and for others, a tough ride we call life,
May this mug bring you peace in the good times or strife.
This mug was handmade with clay made from my heart
A gift from the Earth, a tiny piece of art.
So wear it, or hang it, wherever you please
And may it bring you some comfort, some joy and some ease.
Taking time to do something you love for the pure love of it is so important.
These mini mugs are one thing that makes me giddy like a kid all over again.
The mug has been a cornerstone of our brand as Lure of the North since the very beginning.
If you go on our website you can read about our logo dissection and the mug represents comfort in a harsh environment. On a cold winters day or a wet rainy day, the mug is a champion piece of kit.
To me, wearing this mug around my neck represents so much.
It represents gratitude.
To have a cup that can always be filled with warmth. By the people (and animals) around me. By the ability to literally have hot water at the ready to feed my soul and body. And by the metaphoric filling of my cup when I get drained, tired or anxious. I can call on my cup around my neck to ground and center me.
It also represents connection to the earth. They are made of earth and fire and were crafted with my own two hands. Just like handcrafting moccasins and all of of our other winter gear that got us started with this whole journey, working with clay for me is a functional art. Made with natural material, I can turn a lump of clay into a vessel to feed not just me, but all of the good people I surround myself with.
Though you might look at these mini mugs as non- functional, to me, they serve as a pendent of gratitude and a reminder to find joy in the little things. Get yours today!
