Font Fortnight: Hornsea Love Mugs


We love when we stumble upon a Hornsea Love Mug in our travels. Although slightly out of synch with the seasons, we couldn't resist featuring our most recent find. Made in 1977 and featuring lots of things we love, including typewriter look font and cute little yellow birds, what's not to love?


We like to celebrate the seasons here at Cushie Doo and what better way to do it than supping your tea from one of these mugs. We'd love to complete the whole collection of these mugs designed by Kenneth Townsend in the 1970s, but in the meantime we will putting any spares, as we find them, in our shop. If you want to find out more, H is for Home have a great article that can be found by clicking here.

Font Fortnight: Bold & Bright

Hurrah for Hornsea who ensured we will always know what their items are for by printing it on the sides in bold type. How would we know the difference between our milk jug and our mugs if they hadn't labelled them for us? Joking aside, we love these items and the bright, bold font adds 80s style to any kitchen. This range came in several different coloured stripes and had everything from Kitchen Things to Marmalade pots. Check out items from this range at our shop http://www.cushiedoovintage.com/
