Discovery Series Ornament – Austin

Posted on

With the overwhelming amount of releases from the latest collection of Starbucks mugs, it’s not easy to keep track of all of them. My pattern for adding them to the site is that I pick the unexpected ones first. Discovery Series Ornament – Austin is a good example since this city didn’t have an ornament before.

Austin, the capital of Texas, has a rich history that reflects its transformation from a frontier settlement to a vibrant cultural hub. Originally inhabited by Tonkawa, Comanche, and Lipan Apache tribes, the area was first settled by European Americans in the 1830s, when pioneers established the village of Waterloo along the Colorado River.… Read more

Discovery Series Ornament – Cambridge

It seems that Starbucks decided to release as many Discovery Series locations as quickly as possible. And we get ornaments for the locations that never got one before. This is exactly the case with the Discovery Series Ornament—Cambridge because just as I got back from my trip to Boston, this little mug was spotted online.
