Here’s the new release from the Campus Collection.

Over time, it evolved into Memphis State College and later Memphis State University, expanding its academic and research offerings. In 1994, it officially became the University of Memphis, symbolizing a modern vision for higher education in the Mid-South.

Discovery Series Ornament – Nevada

Posted on

Here is the Discovery Series Ornament Nevada that I recently added to my collection.

Nevada, admitted to the Union in 1864 during the American Civil War, is often called the “Battle Born State” due to its wartime statehood. Its history is closely tied to mining, as the discovery of the Comstock Lode in 1859 brought a rush of settlers and wealth to the region. Early Native American tribes, such as the Paiute, Shoshone, and Washoe, lived in Nevada long before European exploration began.… Read more

You Are Here – Italia

Posted on

Thanks to a blog reader, I was finally able to acquire good photos of the newly released You Are Here Italia mug. It is essentially an exact copy of the mug released seven years ago, with the only difference being the use of the country’s name in Italian: Italia instead of Italy.

I didn’t do the full review of the mug back in 2018, so let’s do it now.

You Are Here – Milano

Posted on

Thanks to a heads-up from our reader, it came to our attention that in line with the update to the country mug that adopted the Italian name, Starbucks also introduced the You Are Here Milano mug, featuring the city’s name in its native language. The design of this release is identical to the Milan mug; you can see this for yourself by comparing it with the pictures of the original mug from this post. You probably remember, this also happened to the Roma mug, and I am sure there will be other cities to follow.… Read more

Discovery Series Ornament – Baltimore

Posted on

I like the blue colors of the Discovery Series Ornament – Baltimore, but I wish the string were also blue.

Baltimore’s story begins in 1706 when Maryland’s colonial General Assembly created the Port of Baltimore at Whetstone Point for the tobacco trade. The Town of Baltimore itself was officially founded on August 8, 1729, when the Governor of Maryland signed an act establishing the settlement on the west side of the Jones Falls. The city was named after Cecilius Calvert, the 2nd Lord Baltimore, connecting it to the English aristocrat who helped establish Maryland as a colonial haven for religious tolerance.… Read more
