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

Wheaton is where our family goes to church and where we spend so much of our everyday life with friends from church and school. We love dates downtown, burgers at 302 Wheaton, visits to The Little Popcorn Store with our kids, meals at local restaurants, and time at The Guild. Cosley Zoo and Cantigny are family favorites too, so those places naturally became part of the artwork.
The mug began as a passion project that I first made as a gift for friends. A woman from our church was starting a gift-basket business, and I let her offer a few. As more people heard about them, the interest continued to grow.
I had already been working with Jack at Blackberry Market, so when he transitioned to The Guild, we began discussing a home for the Wheaton Mug there. We released it around Mother’s Day, and it sold out very quickly. It has been such a joy to create something for a community where our family worships, gathers, and shares life with people we love.
Which detail on the mug brings back a memory for you? 💛
