My Heart is in Little Compton, RI Heart Shaped Coffee Mug - Relic of LC's Retail Past

Image
My ❤️ is in Little Compton, R.I." — a vintage 1990s Wilbur’s Store treasure! There's a mug in the cabinet that always seems to draw an abundance of curiosity and questions. It's the heart shaped 'My Heart is in LC' coffee mug! If memory serves me correctly, this unique product was sold by Wilbur's in the late 80s and early 90s. Probably not available anymore, but you may luck out and find one at the Thursday Thrift Shop!  This quality mug has withstood decades of staining coffee, full bodied tea, and relentless punishment by the dishwasher. I'm happy to report that it still looks like new and is in my normal mug rotation. I can't explain why, but my coffee tastes bolder, sweeter, and ever more delicious when drank from this mug.
