The Story of the Mug Exchange

I created the first Mug Exchange in November of 2024. I already had a few installations on my fence so I made the first one as a giveaway. But I got so attached to it in the few weeks it lived at my house that I made myself another, permanent one! It was really well received and people loved coming by to trade mugs. Soon I was making more to giveaway to people in the community and sharing the plans online! So far I’ve made thirty of them and they’ve gone to places like western New York, South Carolina, Colorado, California, Washington, and of course, many are in Oregon!
