The Mug Town Funk close out sale has been going great! We’ve sold a lot of stuff, but we still have lots of good items left!

We’ve taken everything we have left, including our Christmas items, down to the store. It’s a great time to get your holiday items at half price!

We still have a great selection of mugs, tumblers, earrings, keychains, cutting boards, ornaments, tote bags, and more!

It’s the perfect weekend to head down to the Purple Hippo Boutique, and help us clear out of everything! Thanks everyone. 😀

We have made the decision to close Mug Town Funk. There’s a few reasons, but mainly our hearts just aren’t in it anymore. After 10 years…it’s time.

As we prepare to close…all our mugs, tumblers, tote bags, keychains, cutting boards, wind spinners, beer steins, Grinches, Max’s, tree ornaments, dish towels and whatever else we have left, is now 50% off at the Purple Hippo Boutique.

We still have lots of great selection, so please head down and check it out. Sale will run until we have nothing left. Thanks everyone.

Merry Christmas from Mug Town Funk! We hope you have a happy and safe holiday season!

Thank you to all of you who have supported us not only this year, but in years past as well. We’re truly grateful for all the awesome customers we have, you’re the ones who have kept us going this long.

We will be discussing our future in the new year, deciding if we keep going or not. We’re really unsure at this point. In the meantime…we truly thank those of you who chose our items to give to your loved ones. It truly means a lot.

Did you receive an item that we made as a gift? Did you give somebody something that we made? We’d love to see any photos, or hear about any reactions or anything from anyone who received anything that came from us. Please share, we’d love to hear about it!

Merry Christmas everyone. 😀

We hope to see you this weekend, at what will likely be our last show ever. We’ll have some blowout prices on some of our stuff, hope to see you there.

Hi everyone. I've been getting alot of messages the last few days, so I guess it's time for an update. This will be kinda long, so please bear with me.

We've slowly reopened, after closing down shortly after Christmas. This was due to being burned out from being so busy, and having to make so many things to fulfill Christmas orders.

I just stopped enjoying making the stuff we make, and it was taking up all of my free time. When it comes to the point it's not fun...you have to step back from it. Thats basically what happened.

We're now back, slowly making new things here and there, keeping our space filled at the Purple Hippo Boutique in Lethbridge. We've also been making some items for a few of our loyal customers and businesses. It's a slow process, as I try to get the motivation to amp production back up.

We're sorry to say we WILL NOT be at Calgary Horror Con this year, the first time in 7 years we won't be vendors there. As much as we love the show, it's just not feasible for us to do it.

Why, we keep getting asked? With tables, supplies, meals, gas, hotel, we just don't make enough over and above the overhead costs to justify all the time we have to devote to the show. It takes a month to make enough product, then set up, sit there for 2 long days, tear down. It's just a lot of work for not enough reward. As much as we love coming to this show every year, it's just not worth it. 😕

We will also NOT be vending at the Lethbridge Entertainment Expo. We've been getting lots of messages asking if we'll be selling items there too. Again..just can't see us selling enough to really make it worth our time.

We MAY consider doing the Big Christmas Show at the end of November, but we're still discussing that. We already got the application believe it or not. That's honestly the only show we may do this year. We used to do 4-6 shows a year...but it's become too much work and we're just not sure if we still want to do it. Every show we do, I have to go take down our entire spot at the store, then after the show, go put it all back. It's a lot of time and work.

Going forward....if you're looking for something, please message through the Mug Town Funk page. We will answer as soon as we can.

We should be able to do most items...but if it starts to become too much, we will have to step away again. We both work full time, and we do need some down time and a break from work. We know you all understand.

We also try to use our own artwork and drawings in the items we sell. Most are pencil crayon and ink, some are paintings on canvas. These are also very time consuming. In a world of AI art, it can be frustrating to try and keep up. There's lots of characters I still want to draw, but again, a break was needed to step away. I'm really hoping I can sit down and do some more images to put on our products.

I gotta say....If it wasn't for our awesome, supportive customers, we wouldn't have even done it this long. But, we've had alot of fun and met some great people the past few years. We really want it to continue being fun, so we'll just take it slow for now.

If you have any questions, please ask. Thank you for your continued support and understanding...Shawn and Tracy - MUG TOWN FUNK

Current orders will be finished, remaining stock will still be sold at Purple Hippo Boutique for now. Thank you.

Hi everyone. I'm sure lots of you have heard about the horrific animal abuse that was discovered earlier this week at a house in Picture Butte involving cats. We won't post details here, but you can go to:
https://www.thelastchancecatranch.com
if you you want to read more. Warning...it's really disturbing.

The good news is that the surviving cats have been removed from this house with the help of the Last Chance Cat Ranch and the RCMP. They are being treated and recovering from various injuries, including being thrown outside in -40 weather. There will be large vet bills incurred resulting from this.

Us, and some of our fellow vendors at the Purple Hippo Boutique have decided to donate a percentage of our sales from now until the end of the month.

If you've been thinking of getting a new mug, tumbler, cutting board, tote bag, or whatever else from us...now is the time. We will donate 20% of, everything we sell until month's end. At the store, please look for the blue LCCR signs to show what other vendors are participating too.

We just filled up our spot with some of our most popular items, so please go have a look. Not only that...but just down the street, Stella's restaurant will be selling off fresh baking this Friday with money also going to the rescue from them. It's a wonderful opportunity to do some shopping, get some amazing food, and support this rescue that sorely needs it.

If you can't make it down, or don't want to purchase anything...you can also donate directly to them. Please go to their page to find out how. $2, $5...any amount big or small helps.

Thank you to our awesome family, friends, and customers who support us...and we know will help support the rescue during this extremely difficult time. This rescue was already full, and then this situation happens. The food and vet costs alone are huge, and they need help. We just feel like we need to help somehow. Thanks everyone

Hi everyone. We will be returning to Calgary this weekend for the first time since 2019. We’ll be at the Calgary Horror Con, where we’ll have our new style mugs for the first time there.

Not only that, we will also be unveiling all of our new products. We now have all new tumblers, keychains, license plates, coasters, and tote bags.

We will also be bringing our old hearse “Misery” to the show, where she’ll be parked with some other cool rides. We hope to see you at the Clarion hotel this Saturday and Sunday!

Thank you for continuing to support us, it’s truly appreciated. 😃

Merry Christmas from us at Mug Town Funk. We truly thank you for your business, and for choosing our products. We couldn’t do it without the tremendous support we receive from all of you.

Did you give, or receive one of our mugs, tumblers, or ornaments this Christmas? If so, please share!

We’d love to see any photos or hear any comments from those who received something from us that we made with love. We would truly appreciate it.

We have some new products and ideas in the works that we’re pretty excited about. We hope to share them with you in the new year. Thank you, from our little family to yours. 😊

Happy long weekend friends! 👻🎃

🎃Meet Misery - She's our vintage hearse you’ve maybe seen driving around Lethbridge lately. Her favourite time of year is Halloween, and she’s coming to the Lethbridge Handmade Market on October 16th to help celebrate the season.

🎃Come pay her a visit and fill the casket for the kitties and for the people in need in our community. Her casket will be open to take donations for the Last Chance Cat Ranch Lethbridgeand for Lethbridge Food Bank. We will be accepting non perishable food items, cat food and supplies, along with monetary donations.

🎃You will also be able to take some spooky photos with Misery, and some of her scary friends. She does like to give out candy, so please come and pay her a visit.

🎃Come say hi, and and check out our new pop culture coffee mugs, tumblers, ornaments, and art! All of our images are hand painted or hand drawn.

Misery will be parked outside, so even if you cant attend the show, you can still swing by and donate.

See you next weekend!

Hi everyone. We’re excited to tell you that we will soon be offering a new product, and yes, we will continue to do the coffee mugs too.

We will have tumblers for sale very soon! They are 20oz tumblers, made of metal, snd are for both hot and cold drinks. Each one comes with a box and a straw.

Like with our coffee mugs, we will be using our own original artwork on the tumblers. We will, however, use photos of your family, kids, pets, or anything else you’d like. 😊

We are currently testing them out, and we’re still trying to figure out a price. They will probably be in the $30 range though.

We’re hoping to have some down at the Purple Hippo Boutique in downtown Lethbridge some time next week.

Please let us know what you think of our new product. We’d love to hear your feedback. Our fall and Christmas shows are coming soon, and we will post dates soon! Thank you everyone! 😃

Hi everyone, we just wanted to give you an update. We’re drawing up lots of new images for our mugs. We have a new Winnie the Pooh series, some new art from the Mandalorian, Seinfeld, and Freddy VS Jason.

We have lots of new stuff coming out this year, we’re looking forward to bringing it to the shows we’ll be appearing at this year.

Due to shortages from our supplier, it’s been really tight with supplies since Christmas. Because of this, we put our website on hold until the situation improves. We want to make sure we have lots of product here so everyone’s orders can be processed.

We do have a new, larger display at the Purple Hippo Boutique in Lethbridge. Please pay them a visit, and check out all the great handmade items there.

We’d love to hear from you. Any thoughts, suggestions, or anything else you’d like to see from us...please let us know. We look forward to seeing you at one of our shows this year. Thank you for your ongoing support. 🙂
