 WE gave this mug as a gift, to our babysitter Heidi; who tends our animals when we are fortunate enough to travel. The hand painted image by Gillian is of Mei-Ling our Siamese, who will seldom allow you to cuddle her, demanding this only at a time that suits her, and not necessarily always from us! The spirit of something special is thus captured forever through the medium of ceramics, giving lasting joy to the beholder.

Helé painted this mug, of Zeus, a Weimmeraner, as a birthday gift for Anita, a very dear friend of ours. She had to part with her beloved dog, but hopefully this mug will be able to fill a little of the empty space he left, while Anita can but just imagine how Zeus now enjoys living on a farm, running around and being adored by his new owner.
