When we first took the Scrabble Mugs on in Autumn 2010, David from Wild & Wolf asked us if we were going to be  brave and stock the whole alphabet?

We thought  ’Why not?’ (apart from stocking 26 mugs in packs of 4) the challenge was how to display them in our shop.

For those of you who shop with us you will know our shop is pretty spacious but we still had a challenge. We used our Unto This Last console table as a stop gap but we knew we wanted something a little more ‘sideboardy’ – and this is our find on Leek’s regular antiques & collectors market.

And even better we can store our stock underneath so we don’t have to run up and down the stairs to our stock room to top up the Scrabble mugs  - you know, when a customer wants to spell SMILE or their friends initials.

You can order your Scrabble Mugs from our online store here or just call in to see our lovely sideboard!
