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

As I thought about more towns to draw, Bolingbrook stood out as a community with plenty to celebrate. Its parks, gathering places, and everyday life gave me a starting point for a mug that residents could recognize as their own.
I researched the local details, drew them individually, and brought them together in a wraparound design. Wholey Granoly became a local home for the finished mug, making it easy for neighbors to discover and share a keepsake of Bolingbrook.
It has been lovely to see the mug become a hometown gift and to celebrate the community through a local shop.
Which detail on the mug brings back a memory for you? 💛
