The Downers Grove Mug now has its own dedicated page on my website! ☕️ You can see the design and read the story behind it here:

Downers Grove is where my mom grew up, and other members of my family lived there as well. Because I visited often while growing up, the community has long been part of my own family story.
I worked with Sarah, the previous owner of Mud and Char, to create the Downers Grove Mug. It was a fun collaboration as we chose the landmarks and local details that could tell the story of the community in one continuous drawing.
Which detail on the mug brings back a memory for you? 💛
