Discovery Series Wicked – Munchkinland

Posted on

Discovery Series Wicked Munchkinland is a mug for the whimsical land that sits at the eastern border of Oz, a cheerful realm populated by diminutive folk known for their bright blue clothing and industrious nature. After Dorothy’s house fatally landed on the Wicked Witch of the East, the grateful Munchkins emerged from hiding to celebrate their newfound freedom with song and dance, welcoming the bewildered Kansas girl as their unexpected liberator.

Discovery Series Ornament – Niagara-on-the-Lake

Posted on

The release of the Discovery Ornament Niagara-On-The-Lake is yet another confirmation that this new series will be pretty big, with mugs and ornaments for more places than the previous collections. In the case of Niagara-on-the-Lake, we’ve seen it before in the form of the full-size mug, but not the ornament.

Niagara-on-the-Lake, located in Ontario (Canada), was originally known as Butlersburg. It was later renamed Newark when it became the first capital of Upper Canada in 1792. The town played a significant role during the War of 1812, when it was burned down by American forces in 1813.… Read more
