What are “Whoopsies”?
During production, sometimes 'Whoopsies!' happen. These mugs we still consider sellable, but we’ve previously held them back from shipping for often very small and obscure reasons that most people wouldn’t notice. While all of our mugs are hand made and unique, some are a little more unique than others. We’ve had many people inquire about mugs that we’ve not had in-stock for awhile, so we thought this could be a good way to get some mugs that we no longer produce into the hands of those who really want them, and to make room on our shelves for new mugs that we’ve got in the works.
Each of these tiki mugs will have one or more of these, or other, small issues: glaze somewhere unintended, tiny black dots from particles in the kiln, superficial glaze cracks that don’t affect the integrity of the mug, etc. As each mugs issues vary and are unique, they aren’t reflected in pictures here. Mugs are being sold in as-is condition. We reserve the right to permanently mark mugs on bottom, out of sight, to indicate they're part of this group. Exchanges for alternate 'Whoopsie!' mugs will be allowed if buyer pays shipping costs. Mugs will not arrive cracked (excludes superficial glaze ‘cracks’).
“Whoopsie” mugs are offered at discounted price.
These mugs are in-stock and ready to be packed and shipped.
Tiki tOny's Tiki Santa Tiki Mug
This is what happens when two holidays collide in one tiki mug
“It was the nightscare before Tikimas,
and Tiki Santa sits
perched on his nest of milky white skulls.
He peers and keeps watch
over a bubbling, brewing bowl.
Steaming with minty sweet candy
and spider web mummies,
sizzles his cauldron of winter, dust and honey!
Summer’s long fingers stretch
pulling Fall toward pumpkins and spice
whirling a wind into whispering white.
With a twitch of his nose
the spiders carefully creep in.
Tiki Santa sits stoic upon his throne of bones
Patiently waiting for his diabolical draught,
recalling jovial times of pine scents and snow. He whispers goodnight and all are affright! "
