My wife vends so I'd seen many of j2 studios' pieces but being Albertan the hay bales and grain elevators really stood out. I bought for myself and gifts for friends and years later I still enjoy drinking coffee out of these functional art pieces. The quality has really held up as well unlike the mugs from Staples which based on quality standards alone I will not recommend.
Find some art, spread it around - you'll be supporting local and you won't be disappointed :) PS: Price was excellent too comparatively.
