Hey--has anyone seen these nifty mugs at their Starbucks? I am looking for a set. They're the Starbucks Architectural series, called "City Mug". It's an oversized white mug with an architectural rendering of downtown in blue. It says "Houston-The Magnolia City" in bold print below.

I saw some as recently as a month ago at our closest one, but they are already gone!

Looks like they are from the 2006 series, so they may be hard to find at starbucks. I see a few for sale on ebay, around $10-15 plus shipping. Not sure how much they sell in the stores for, but the other cities for sale on starbucks.com are $30 for a 4-pack.

Yes, I saw the other cities on their website. As I mentioned, I saw a few Houston ones in the store near us about a month ago. Why do I procrastinate? Am I the only one that does that? It's like--okay, they'll be there forever, right? NO! DUMBA*S! Get it now!! But I never listen to that inner voice...

We have a set ourselves, but my sister in Indiana wants at least two mugs.

Hubby is checking a few stores this evening for me.

I collect them from all the cities we visit...since DH and I are both Starbucks addicts. Some of the mugs are just the gray and white with the city outline...but I have a few...Alaska, San Diego, Hawaii and London that are colorized and really pretty. The SB in League City on Marina Bay BLVD and the SB in the Target on Marina Bay have the Houston mugs.

I have one of those Starbucks mugs from Houston. I have never used it. I would be willing to part with it if you need it to complete a set.

Ah, that's awesome. We may actually have to take a little road trip tomorrow and get them. Thanks ShelbyGirl--and thanks Kandy, I wouldn't want to seperate anyone from their own personal mugs! That's sweet though!!
