After making a St. Charles mug, I wanted to honor Geneva because friends of ours live there. The two towns share a river, but Geneva's own streets and landmarks needed to take the lead rather than echoing its neighbor.
Details in the drawing
The wraparound artwork includes Fox River, Fabyan Windmill, Kane County Courthouse and Swedish Days. Each is part of the place this mug was drawn to remember.

A gift idea with a real place behind it
For someone who grew up in Geneva, the pleasure is recognition: Fox River and Fabyan Windmill are specific enough to begin a story. Add a handwritten note about the place you remember together. The mug becomes a prompt for that memory, rather than a generic souvenir.
