Implements for Drinking

I have been on Etsy lately posting a few of my IDC series. I just love the idea of them and have had great fun in making them. It started with my son Paul, who is getting ready to get out of the army. He and his army buds would get together and ...well what do I know? Not the half of it. Which is all right!

What I do know is they called them selves the Irish Drinking Crew and because they were army the name was shortened to the IDC. Oh funny I said and in a later conversation was telling Paul's sister, Erika, " Hah!" she snorted, " It's more like, Idiots Drinking
Copiously".

So, sorry boys but your party has become grist for mama's idea mill. The IDC is a series of ceramic drinking cups constructed from textured slab--earthenware, stoneware or porcelain. It also includes bottles, flasks, tumblers, funnels and shots. As to what IDC stands for you fill in the blank. . . . International Drinking Coalition.
