Coffee Cups

The coffee cups
There are many different types of cups, glass cups, plastic cups, ceramic cups, and these are used for many different uses. My mother has many cups of coffee. She has received some, and she has bought some others. They come from places far away like China, and some others come from places that are closer like Guanajuato and Mazatlan. She collects all this cups from almost 10 years now. And she has about 560 cups. She has them placed over the kitchen in shelves. Her collection has many colors and shapes. There are green cups, black cups, white cups, red cups, yellow cups, but there is one that attracts the most, which is the one with multi-color, this because it has a property to change its color some times its blue and sometimes purple, but most of the time is red with a darker color, I do not know how it works but it is awesome. The shapes of the cups go from a tiny one, a bowl like cup, tea cups and many others, but she never uses those. She usually serves her coffee in the same 3 cups, all 3 of them are green, but this does not mean she does not like all the other cups of coffee, this actually means that she cares of the cups and just display them for others to see. She usually changes some cups over the years, and each and every year she cleans the cups that are in display this are about 30 cups, maybe this next year she will put the biggest cup and the smallest cup to make them look more or maybe she will put the cups with strangest colors so they are the most striking and anyone would be amazed by the different colors located in the entrance of the kitchen. I actually like her collection because it defines who she is and what she likes. How she cares of what she wants and what she has given a lot of her time to. This is why this collection is one of the most impressive collections I have ever seen in my life, I am pretty sure that anyone that sees this cup collection would be amazed by it and especially by its colors and many different sizes and types.

~~how she cares for what she

~~how she cares for what she wants~~my favorite poetic phrase in this description of collected cups. I gave my mug collection to the next generation's children. They will never love them the way I did, or care for each one with the affection of the collector. I just wrote a poem, Broken Cups, and posted it a few minutes ago here. - Nice waltz down the lane called memorabilia and memory - A fine writing this~~~~Lady A
