I love collecting mugs and I also love Cath Kidston prints so the newest purchase I have made is her bubble crush mug. Cath Kidston is a British designer who produces a range of accessories, clothing, homewares and outdoor products. She has a very nostalgic, romantic look to her fabrics and designs and although not for everyone she has a look that I love and I really enjoy the choice across her stores and website. I would describe her look as quite homely and pretty and something generally women like more than men.

I would describe this mug as a spotty mug rather than having bubbles on it.The nug has a white background and then lots of different coloured spots on it of different sizes. The colours include yellow, blue, pink and red and they are really bright, colourful and inviting.

I actually got this mug as a bit of a joke as my little girl is really into the Mr Tumble Something Special show on CBeebies and in it he likes everything spotty, especially his spotty bag. This mug is the closest thing I could find to a Mr Tumble spotty item, even though its not a bag but I bought it as my husband and I always joke about having a spotty mug!

The mug itself is nice and big and the perfect size in my opinion and always provides me with a good cup of tea. The top is a bit wider than the bottom and is a shape of mug I like. I am quite fussy about my mugs and like different ones at different times of the day or for different drinks, tea, coffee, hot chocolate etc (is that weird or is everyone else like this) but this is one of the mugs I like pretty much all the time. The handle is thin but sturdy and big enough to hold with your whole hand. The mug is 100% fine china and is dishwasher safe although I have never but mine in a dishwasher as I don't own one (much dishwasher is called my husband!!) so I can't comment on how it holds up in a dishwasher. It is not safe for microwaves though.

Its a nice cheery mug to have and one I don't mind giving to guests either who always comment on how cute it is.

All Cath Kidston's mugs are reasonably priced for their nice designs and this one is just £5 which I think is a good price for a good quality mug. I got mine from John Lewis but you can buy direct from her website too.
