Why talk about the actual faire?

It is probably a sign that you have reached past the point of a lush into a determined drunk when you purchase a cup strictly for you alone to drink from. We went to Scarborough Faire today and while shopping for a birthday present for my sister (Sorry Ja', it won't arrive in time! Forgive me!!) I found this nifty little cup and decided it would be for rum/whisky/scotch. There is a random texture all around it (I'm all about texture on ceramics) and the glazing was very nicely done. The picture does not do justice to the colors. And, rather than most of the artists out there, this place was not pretentious enough to think it was worth 15-30 bucks per cup. And while it is a small gesture, the niftiest part is that there is an indentation for you to put your thumb while holding the glass. Yes, it is an ergonomic cup. And tonight, it is filled with Dalmore scotch whisky. And it is yummy.
