Thistle Mugs
Description: The thistle is Scotland's national flower, and while no one is completely sure how it came to be so significant to the nation, there are some theories. Legend holds that a sleeping band of Scots was saved when invading Norsemen stepped on the spiky plant and let out cries that awoke the Scots. There's no evidence for that, but it's a lovely story.

Description: As a true fan of Diana Gabaldon's books "Outlander" and being part Scottish myself, this was near and dear to my heart. My mother, who grew up with heavy Scottish influence was a huge part in designing this. I picked an old Scottish saying "Failing Means You're Playing" to give an overall tone for the Scottish blood I'm so proud of. Winning feels good, but so does simply playing.
