Winnie the Pooh's MugsSsss

It was all because of the Disney Store sale!!
Hmm... or is it because CJ!! She was the one invited us to US. Then we went Disney World, then I was so addicted to Disney's stuff! See what I've got now!!

I've started off with only ONE, about 2 years ago...this one, 3D, very cute Pooh

Then, this! Well, this was Tigger's cup was because it was really cheap...I think it was less than £1... and of course I cant resist!

Then recently, bought this Piglet's big cup (with the excuse, I dont have Piglet's)
Then, then ...... we bought SIX at once yesterday!
So now, I've got lots and lots of mugs! Probably I do need a ROOM to store all these.
