Mug of the Month - Holmes Hole Sailing Association - 1st Place

What better prize for winning a sailing race than a coffee mug!  Much more useful than a trophy.  This is a long time sailing organization on the island.  Check out race times and membership opportunities:

Mug of the Month - Trader Jacks

What fun pirates can be (ok some of the time) - here is a vintage mug from Trader Jacks when it was in Oak Bluffs - I think it has moved on.

Mug of the Month - Among the Flowers

Among the Flowers is a long-time cafe in Edgartown.  We had a delightful lunch there this summer and got the blue mug.  I am using this picture to show the great color and shape selection of the mugs.  Food is great here.  Check out the menu:

Mug of the Month - MV Agricultural Fair

Finally the MV Agricultural Fair has a mug - many thanks to our friend for spotting this gem for us.  I don't know why they waited so long - this was the 157th fair on the island.  Always lots of fun with posters and t-shirts.  I hope they keep up this new tradition of annual mugs.

Mug of the Month - Back Door Donuts

Back Door Donuts has long been a late night favorite in Oak Bluffs.  At some point it was "discovered" and recently is a big change from the olden days of actually going up to the door - lines and ropes, etc.  Still - who doesn't love a fresh chocolate glazed on a glorious summer night!

Now with new owners hopefully it will not change any more!

Mug of the Month - MV Distilling Company

Not sure if you can get the product still but the "mule" mug is beautiful (although hot coffee is not good in the copper mug) - check for updates on their web site:

Mug of the Month - The Floyd Country Store

We are lucky this month to have an off-island visitor - The Floyd Country Store - home of the Friday Night Jamboree - could anything be more fun? Check out the website and plan a trip to the Appalachian foothills - kin to the spirit of the Vineyard: The Floyd Country Store

Mug of the Month - Project Next

It is so important to have services for the young adults on the Vineyard.  The Youth Task Force has many services - one of the best is Project Next  which provides free financial, educational, and career counseling.  Link to get more information about all of the great programs:

Mug of the Month - Vineyard Sailing Camp

Does anyone remember the great Girl Scout Sailing Camp?  Here is a mug from the day (and a great find from the Dumptique setting the scene in the background).

Now the Girl Scouts can have their weddings there - a great venue - see the site as it looks now.

Mug of the Month - Colonial Care

Here is a mug from Colonial Certified Care - an important service that is no longer operating on the island - we need to replace these services.

Mug of the Month - Cronig's Real Estate

This is a really pretty mug celebrating 90 years of Cronig's Real Estate on the island.  This is a very important service industry on the island - buying, selling, and renting:  check out the listings and see the wonderful photos:
