I feel like I need to defend mug jack. In my house I have various mugs I got as a child, one with a little face, mr blobby, various cartoons growing up, the royal wedding which just makes me laugh, and loads of random ones I have been given as presents over the years. When I moved in with my partner a few years back I made his parents tea in various mismatched mugs.
the next time they came round she had bought me a plain white mug set.

so solidarity with mug jack as she isn’t hurting anyone at least.

But what is the thing that looks like some sort of animal penis within the yellow stuff....

I need brain bleach, and I’m glad dear heart bee of manc is not here to suffer these indignities.
My default setting is minimalist/have you just moved in/are you about to move out
Urgh collecting things
Urgh flooring which cannot be effectively cleaned on the reg
Urgh piles and piles of shit nobody needs, will look great with your new zero waste bandwaggoning

I really like all those mugs. All of them.
Come at meeeee.
Don’t worry I am so fascinated by that rug I have to keep going back and studying it.

Where did it come from? Why? When does it stop?

I wonder if it could be handmade from a passed loved ones clothing. A labour of love with sentimental value. Well in my head that’s how I’m justifying it’s existence. Of course if that were the case Jack would have slipped it in to conversation before now.

So many questions. I’m gonna have to go back for another look

I have a Shrek mug I got when I was 14 - still terrifies me when I go into the kitchen for a late-night cuppa....

Yes, when does it stop? Is out in the street tripping people up? How big is this thing?

Also I'm going to suggest that Jack couldn't have made it. She only managed about six plain stitch squares for the massive snuggly blanket. That rug has been made by someone else. A vengeful ex? Her agent? The team at DKL? Walliams? That Man? Vegans?

Legend has it that she sews a fresh square onto the quilt for every person/group she offends....

Sorry if this offends anyone - but I ducking hate novelty crockery especially novelty mugs...they scream DICK HEAD 23 year old lad!
I'm with you 100%. While I love having a good look around Liberty (pre-pandemic times, how I yearn for thee) and love eccentric homeware, it has to be styled nicely and with some kind of vision. If not it just looks a bit random? Pandora Sykes' home (https://www.houseandgarden.co.uk/gallery/pandora-sykes-london-house) is beautiful. I think that's what Jack wishes her shitty bungalow looked like
