Another Kitchen Cupboard

Yesterday I looked at the kitchen cupboard that holds some crockery. It used to have jugs at the top, then two rows of mugs, big plates next, then bowels at the bottom. Now, I'm short and cannot reach the jugs. We almost never use mugs (occasionally for soup), and we use the glass jugs in summer.

So, I re-arranged it - see below. The most usable mugs are in the bottom mug shelf.

We also have far too many mugs - there were mugs behind the bowls and mugs in another cupboard as well. I don't think I have ever bought mugs. There was a time when I was doing a course, and they gave you a mug - so I have a number of course mugs. When my parents had their 40th wedding anniversary at Bendigo Pottery, everyone got a commemoration mug.  I have mugs that were handed out at a couple of the places I have worked. And I have a couple of mugs that were given as a special reward - for instance, when I judged a competition at Ivanhoe Girls Grammar School they gave me a mug. I have even received mugs as Christmas presents! So some mugs are special. And if I gave away too many we wouldn't have enough to allow for breakages, so I think it is OK to keep two shelves full - BUT NO MORE.

The excess mugs will go to work to be used by visitors.
