another July special is the return of the Daffodil basket to honor grandma Bonnie's 100th birthday. This is her favorite flower and the basket is a tribute to her.

I think I only have 1 basket, but I saw this one on their website and I think I might just have to get it. It is
B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L!

Anyone have their travel mugs?? I really like them, but I'm curious how others like theirs.

Are you talking about the tall pottery mug with the plastic lid? I have one and I hate it. It's too tall for regular use and doesn't fit right in my cup holder either. I have other pottery pieces from LB and love them!
