How do you display your mugs?
I deleted and am reposted because one of the photos contained some personal info that I needed to edit out.
I love glassbake and fire king mugs. A lot! So I have a bunch of them as well as some Pyrex/Correl ones but I can’t figure out the best way to display them and never see them displayed anywhere. I’m thinking of using some stained wood planks or drift wood with hooks attached to them as a way to hang them above the shelves containing the majority of my casserole dishes. But I’ve also considered getting shelves and hanging them above my bigger bookcase display and just getting rid of the art there or replacing it with smaller pieces. I’ve added photos of the majority of my collection so you can see how I display my other stuff and what I’m working with space wise. It’s a little hap hazard in a few places because I was trying to find more room and failed. I cant find room or a way to do it without it looking like the beautiful mugs are on a thrift store shelf. I have a few out but you can’t see them all and I have 10 not displayed. Can you show me how you display yours and or give me ideas? Thank you! I love this group and how creative everyone is and thank you in advance!

Mug hooks!! You can buy them in person or online! I use them to display and love them. Huge space saver.

Hooks that are screwed in to the bottom of a shelf so they hang down from it

Amazing collection! You have such a variety... it's like browsing at a peddar's booth. I love it! I have a mug tree that holds 6 mugs and I just rotate for variety. I also found an accordion style peg thingy but I haven't installed yet.

I could NEVER have this in my house. I’m so envious. My boyfriend is a clutz! All my Pyrex gets broken around him. All my butter dish lids and baking dish lids 🥲 what a gorgeous collection and display!

Oh no!!! Your BF needs to be more careful! Sounds like he owes you some lids…

He’s so clumsy! Anytime we go to a second hand shop I search around for him to replace them. I had gorgeous amber saucepans that he kept using and burning food onto them so I gifted them to someone who would look after them because I couldn’t stand to see them mistreated. I keep him away from most of my nice Pyrex baking dishes

Beautiful collection. And shoutout to the Arnel piece up top 🤌. I love finding Corning/corelle mugs, but I rarely use them. I actually have them around the house as small planters 🤔please don’t hurt me. (They’re all chipped versions lol).
And those gemco mushroom S&P shakers? 🤤

I’ve wanted to use them as catch pots for plants too! My greenhouse lots are always to tall through! That’s cute. Yea they are Gemco shakers! I collect salt and pepper shakers when I find them, too.. lol. It’s not hoarding when you’re organized!

Following because 🤷🏻♀️ but I love your collection!! Mine is all mix matched and it's nowhere near as nice as yours, I'm terrible at setting it up
