Last weekend, while we were shopping at a Ross store, I found the cutest cat cactus mug. I bought it, but when I got home and was unloading it from the car, the bag fell and the mug broke. I was bummed. It broke into too many pieces to even try re-gluing and using for something else.
Not only was it the last mug they had, but at a store like Ross, they likely won't get any more in stock.
I took a photo before I put the pieces in the trash. I sent a photo to a friend of mine who shops at random stores, because, why not?
Imagine my surprise when I got a text just a few days later from this friend. He had stopped at an antique mall to look at kitchen items. On a shelf was the same mug!
He delivered it the next day. What a great surprise! I enjoyed coffee from it this morning.

How awesome you got the mug! And how nice of your friend to pick it up for you.
What an awesome story. Imagine your surprise on actually finding that very mug! It is a silly one, too. Great find, and don't drop this one!!
We too love the one-of-a-kind treasures found at thrift & off/price stores and what a great story to have found Cat-Cus, and then it was found yet again! One never knows ... thank you to your good friend.
LOVE this!
That IS a cute mug!
