Hope to hear from you!
Hi there!
ReplyDeleteI'm in Vancouver, and I'd be happy to get you a mug! :-)
My husband and I just started collecting the mugs ourselves, and I mean JUST! We have 5! haha!
We just like them, and as much as it would be nice to get them from our own travels, we aren't that lucky, so we are getting them from friends and family!
If you'd like one from Vancouver, and wouldn't mind doing a trade, let me know! :-)
Dawn
Hey Dawn, thank you for your interest! It's great to hear from a fellow collector. Oh I would love to trade with you, too. Do you have access to other city mugs or just Vancouver?
ReplyDeleteI've mailed out two packages to the US and I am expecting two to get to me. I'm waiting to see how these would turn out. If no broken mugs then yay and I shall continue trading.
Irma, please let me know if any are broken because I will try to replace them!!!
ReplyDeleteHi Irma & Dawn, not sure if Dawn can see my post, but I was just in Vancouver this summer and that's when my collection started growing (LOVED VANCOUVER!!!)! You guys have the best drinking water I've ever had!!!! Anyway, we were on our way home before I realized there was a Vancouver Island. Are you able to get that? I'd be happy to trade for that with you. I'm in Chicago if you are interested in that mug. FYI Irma is a great trader & person!!!
ReplyDeleteIt slipped my mind that I wrote on this blog so many months ago!
DeleteI can get Vancouver Island via a coworker who goes over there once a month. I'd LOVE a Chicago! That's one of those places I've actually been to! :-)
Feel free to email me @ dawn.retel at gmail dot com
I've done some trades overseas, and the postage is killer! Happy to trade where I can.
Dawn, I can also get you Boston, but if you're a Canucks' fan you might not want it!!!
ReplyDeleteI am a Canucks fan, but I can forgive just enough to make room for a Boston Mug! ;-)
DeleteWelcome to the world of Starbucks mugs! We don't only collect mugs but also gain new friends from other countries through our trades. Good luck and enjoy the hunt!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Jovet! Your collection with Marilyn is inspiring. oh and thank you for those great photos, too.
ReplyDeleteHi Irma! I'll check our local Starbucks and see if we have one. Will send it to you if we do. :)
ReplyDeleteMishel, there is Indianapolis!! Uy, na-excite. Hahaha!
ReplyDeleteGreat Blog Irma ...
ReplyDeleteI'm happy you contacted me, hopefully in the future we can have a trade!
(Belgian mugs for 3 Thai mugs? )
For all visitors: http://starbucksmugger.blogspot.com/
(current mug total: 137 ICON 2008 Series)
Thank you, Pieter! I'm good with 3 Belgian mugs for 3 Thai mugs. Let me know what you want. :-) Will tweet you as well.
ReplyDeleteHi Irma, I am also a collector. I am a flight attendant and I travel all over but mostly just in the United States. I started collecting a couple of years ago, but not seriously, and I gave most of mine away. Now that has changed. I currently own 28 mugs. Yes, not a lot. I would be interested in trading. I am in Hawaii right now and can possibly get the Hawaii one if you need it. Please let me know as I leave today. I have Thailand already but am interested in the other Thai mugs. Let me know. Have a great day.
ReplyDeleteYes, I am interested in Hawaii. Please do get it. I'll trade the other 4 city mugs with you. Thanky you for contacting me, Pamela Anne!

DeleteBy the way...we have something else in common, Christ is my Lord too. Yay! Good to meet you sister. Thanks for your blog.
ReplyDeleteIsn't He just amazing? So happy to meet you. Let's talk more!
ReplyDeleteIf someone is interested to trade Belgians or Germans, check out my blog!
ReplyDeletehttp://starbucksmugger.blogspot.com/
Can I advertise in your blog, too, Pieter? :-) There must be a way I can trade those Belgian mugs with you.
DeleteI can get you New York. NY for Thailand?
ReplyDeleteWow...that's odd. My name isn't coming up. This is Kate Kurtz from NY. Sorry about the gobboledeegook....
ReplyDeleteIt's strange. Thought you were spam. But you're real.:-) Yes Kate, I am willing to trade Thailand for New York. Please e-mail me at irmaloveslife@gmail.com so we can discuss this further.
DeleteGO IRMA!!!! FYI NO MUGS FROM GERMANY! Trip was a total bust for mugs. Didn't see any Starbucks. So disappointing!!!
ReplyDeleteMarsha, I am so sorry to hear that. Let's just look for other traders who can help us with Germany. Hope the trip went very well!
DeleteHi Irma,
ReplyDeleteI finally found time to email you back (actually, post on your blog). Thanks for finding me, and your kind words for my blog. It's so easy to find people these days with common interests (in our case, the mugs). I hope we can meet someday- and exchange some mugs!!! I just got my act together after FredOrange's "resurrection" and found you there and gave you a karma point. Good luck with the collection. I'm headed to Manila in June/July so if you're there let's keep in touch. I just might bring with me a Brazilian you'd want to meet. Cheers!
So good to hear from you, RJ. I love reading your blog. Update it, ha! And thank you for letting me know how to use the karma. I had no clue. I sent one your way. Yes, let's keep in touch!!
DeleteHi all and irma - I am a UK based collector so can trade any of the UK mugs - please let me know what you can trade :-)
ReplyDeletegreenwood_brian@hotmail.com
Hi Irma,
ReplyDeleteI have an extra 2008 Global icon city mug china. Are you interested. I need a Phuket Mug. What other mugs do you have to trade?
You also need Philippines? I can buy one for you.
ReplyDeleteHi Jake, you're Mau's friend, right? I may have found you on Facebook. I sent you a PM.
DeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI'm Andrew from Korea.
I can get you 16oz Korea mug.
ple email me; andrewkorea@hotmail.com
Thank you
Hi Irma,
ReplyDeleteYou have a great collection. I am in the D.C. area so I can get you a cup from here. Additionally, I am traveling to Arizona next week so I can get you one from there as well (and Phoenix too). If you are interested you can reach me by email at nicolem.stewart@gmail.com
I started collecting myself because of a friend (I have 9 so far) and it is a bit addicting, but great. :)
Regards,
Nicole
Thank you for your comment, Nicole. Yes, it is an addicting collection. I will e-mail you.
DeleteGreat collection. If you can trade with anyone in Manila, I'm their China connection.. :) your husband is so lucky to get those new icon mugs from East China.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Claudine! Happy collecting to you as well.;-)
Deletewow, i stumbled upon your blog because i was trying to look for pics of the seattle mt. rainier mug's existence! i was just in the emerald city and it's an elusive mug because i swear i stepped into every starbucks in seattle in the short time i was there and all they had was the seattle ferry mug (which i already had). even the baristas from the corporate office were saying it was only the ferry one that was in circulation.
ReplyDeletei did score pike place market & vancouver on that trip, but didn't realize there is a canada country mug & vancouver island one! more reason though for me to return to british columbia. i loved it!
anyhow, my friends think i'm obsessed due to the size of my starbucks city mug collection, but mine is small compared to yours--i've only got 43! my goal is to collect all of the US mugs, and international ones are icing on the cake. most of my international ones are "pasalubong" from friends and family members who've travelled abroad.
Thank you so much for leaving a comment, Franny. My collection is a fraction only compared with the hardcore ones. It's fun, right?
DeleteThe Mt. Rainier edition is Seattle's first version of the Icon series and is already discontinued. It now costs a fortune on eBay.
Let me know if I can help you out.:-)
I happened to stumble on your blog while trying to learn more about which cities Starbucks Mugs exist and trying to see where I can collect next. Do you still have any you'd like to trade?
ReplyDeleteI'm from California so can get you San Diego, Orange County, Los Angeles, Las Vegas if you're interested :)Not sure how to send you my email without making it public on here.
