Our New Feature – Mug Shot Monday
It’s no secret that bloggers love their mugs. I have about thirty designs, no joke – but they’re all in different categories. There are everyday mugs, visitor mugs, holiday mugs, special occasion and holiday mugs, and mugs THAT NO ONE SHOULD TOUCH. For Christmas me and the mister bought Wall-E and Eve mugs [because they are us] and I adore them.
After seeing the millionth photo on my Instagram stream [yes, I’m still looking even though I am impatiently awaiting my new phone so I can join the party again] of everyone’s gorgeous cups, I decided to start a Monday morning feature for fun on our Facebook page. It’s called Mugshot Monday.
details of where you can buy it from if you love it.There are two ways to enter and win:Post an Instagram photo of you and your mug, just your mug, whatever. As long as it’s a family friendly photo and we can see your mug. It can be any mug – empty, full, chipped, pristine – it doesn’t matter. We want to see your Monday Mugshots! Tag both Keep Up With The Jones Family and the mug company and we’ll see it.

This week we’re delighted to start our series with this gorgeous mug by the spectacular Oakdene designs team in Surrey. They’re a small team of budding designers and manufacturers working together, sourcing materials from British suppliers, to create both contemporary and vintage products. We love so many of their designs – there’s even a naughty one for St. Valentine’s day this year that made us laugh so much!
We’re looking forward to seeing your Monday Mugshots! The winner will be chosen at the end of the week and be the proud recipient of a shiny new Oakdene mug!
This is a cute idea, I like it! I'll try and remember to take my mug shot on Monday.
Thank you! As this is our first one we've opened it early – you can join in any time!
This is a super cute idea, and a great giveaway! I'm a mug fiend anyway, so this is perfect for me.
I hope you decide to join in! 🙂
That's really neat! I love that mug! I do often use a mug for my hot cocoa or apple cider. It would be nice to have a beautiful mug like that one.
I love that you can tick the way you're feeling on it, it's so cute!
Aha, good idea – there are always cups of tea and coffee on intagram. I can't get out of bed until I've seen at least 4!
I would LOVE four cups to wake me up! Or a really, really big bucket…
Great idea…I will post a picture of my mug on your facebook as I am not too good at using hashtags on Instagram.
Thank you for your entry Mina! I love your Mount Fuji mug – perfect for your Japanese green tea!
What a fun idea. I will try to join in on Monday.
It's open from now for the week and half so feel free to post whenever! 🙂
I love this, lol! This would be a great gift for my husband…he loves his tea in the morning! Although, I think he would always check off 'miserable' lol!
Ha ha ha – how sweet! I am pretty glum without my tea too 😉
ha! hahahaa! I just love the name. Maybe I'll take a morning mug shot of me WITH my mug for extra fun.
I'm looking forward to seeing you and your mugshot, Bekah! 🙂
What a fun idea! Although I'm not sure I have room for anymore mugs!
You could always give it as a gift to someone! 🙂
What a fun idea! I need to get new mugs then I can play in something like this! So fun
We would love you to join in Jeanine! 🙂
What a great idea. I have lots of lovely mugs and not a single matching one!
The only matching ones I have are my Wall E and Eve, and my DO NOT TOUCH collection which I hide from the boys – they're Alice in Wonderland teacups and saucers!
What a great idea! I need to find some pretty mugs to join in with now!
I'm looking forward to seeing your mugshot! 🙂
Looks like a lovely mug 🙂 I am way too much of a mug hoarder :p
Me too – I feel guilty throwing away the cracked ones!
Very nice idea! my wife would like something like this.. maybe a good gift idea.
She would indeed!
What a great mug! Very beautiful design! I am going to keep my eye on this because I do love coffee mugs!
It's very well made and chunky – it's a real morning mug! 🙂
I love that mug, I have a growing collection. My latest one says #MugLife and I was super complete.
What an amazing mug! I'm always looking for another Mug to add to my collection 😉
Wow! That mug is so cute! I will really have to think about my mugshot Monday…starting next week! 🙂
This is adorable! I'll have to make a note on my calendar for Monday to post a mugshot! 🙂
How fun! I have plenty of mugs that I never get to show off. I'll definitely have to participate.
I love the design!! very cool design. I really like it.
Such an interesting concept for a mug!!! Hehe will pick this up for some friends…
Fab idea, and as you already know, I have lot of mugs!
Love this idea – I broke my favourite '50 Shades of Earl Grey' mug the other day 🙁
oh wow this is so cool and so awesome, i need to get me a few bloggers mugs as can you believe i do not own even a single one? shameful i know lol
Its a lovely mug and such a nice idea for a giveaway! I'll have to get busy!
A brilliant idea! I will have to get snapping with my mug! 🙂
That is a great idea and a such a fun giveaway. My favorite mug is an Andy Warhol inspired Eeyore mug.
I love this idea. I love mugs too for my tea.
This is probably the best giveaway entry idea ever! I love it. And the mug!! My girlfriend was a super awesome friend today and actually dropped me off a coffee today on her way to work to lift my spirits. I'll have to get it out tomorrow morning!!!
Oh my goodness, this would make a really great gift to my sisters. Thanks you for sharing and the giveaway.
What a great idea – I have two favourite mugs – one for coffee & one for tea!
That mug is just the cutest! I love it!
Sounds great. I'm in.
Of course it would be the last check every single day! 🙂 Hope you get your phone soon so you can return to instagram. I'm trying to decide which device to get so I can play too. 🙂
Aw I love that mug, so cute x
This mug is absolutely adorable!! I love how you can check the different options off everyday! Love it!
This is a great idea. I have a favorite mug that has writing all over it from my kids when they were younger.
What a cute idea and play on words. Our cabinets are overflowing with mugs so I see a lot of pics in my future.
That is such a creative and beautiful mug! I wouldn't mind having one of those. 🙂
What a fun idea! And even though I don't have a collection of 30 mugs, I do have my absolute favorite. If I haven't run the dishwasher yet I will take it out and wash it by hand rather than use another one.
That is a great photo, sadly my mug is a pint mug and it is rather dull in comparison!
You know I had to enter! I got the cutest owl mug from my sister this past Christmas! I love it! Thank you for hosting this awesome giveaway!
Okay! This is seriously the best idea! I have been eyeballing some seriously adorable mugs on Etsy lately and my mug collection is already huge. LOL
I love this and such a great idea – I am also guilty of posting my cups of tea on Instagram!!
Total mug mom over here! Love my mugs!
What a fab idea – my mugs are all a but battered though lol
This is amazing!!! Gutted I missed yesterday though…see you Monday!! 🙂
My favorite mug is one I had as a child with a frog crawling up the side and peering in. It's almost 30 years old.
What a great idea! I don't have many mugs but hope to join in anyway 🙂
What a fab idea. I don't have a lot of mugs 🙁 but all the ones I do have are full of memories.
