A St. Augustine Family Visit Turned into Art

Exploring the city together gave this historic-town mug its origin.

We spent time wandering St. Augustine as a family and came away wanting to keep a little of that visit. The mug began with the places we noticed together, which is a different starting point from designing for a town where we live.

Explore the artwork and find current shop information on The St. Augustine Mug page. The mug is carried through Juniper Market; please check the mug page or contact the shop before making a special trip.

A gift idea with a real place behind it

Castillo de San Marcos and Bridge of Lions give this design two points to recognize on a return visit. For someone who knows St. Augustine through trips rather than an address, pair the mug with a note about a particular stop or a plan to go back. It keeps the gift tied to an experience instead of a generic destination.
