Inner Heart Cup (Thrift Store Find) - Perfect for VALENTINE'S DAY
We shop at our local "thrift shops" (used/recycled items) often (probably once a week). Recently, I found these precious heart cups or mugs (I call them "inner heart" cups because there is a heart shape on the inner part of the cup where the liquid sits). I enjoy these "Bodum type glass/mug styles. Even though there is a double glass wall they are feather light and so comfortable to drink from. My husband was the first to notice them and I thought "that's strange - the inner part isn't perfect." I couldn't see the heart shape until we got home and used them for the first time (after thoroughly washing of course). I bought them for $2 but I have since looked online and found out that they retail about $15.00 each!! What a find!
Below are some pictures - the inner shape doesn't truly show until the hot chocolate has been added (see hot chocolate recipe at the end of this post).
Finally, the inner heart shows up when the dry hot chocolate packet is added!
And even more so when pouring in the hot water!
