I hired Jackson Robinson, designer of our Texas Luxury Playing Cards, to design these European-made camping mugs, depicting the Chisos Mountains in West Texas. The quote in the bottom of the mug is inspired by hotel magnate Conrad Hilton. Though he was not a native Texan, Hilton opened his first hotel in Texas in 1919. His experience with the ambition of Texans led him to observe the following about the Lone Star State:
There’s a vastness here, and I believe that the people who are born here breathe that vastness into their soul. They dream big dreams and think big thoughts, because there is nothing to hem them in.
I love this quote, and it spawned the perfect motivating words to start your day, as you finish your coffee each morning. Breathe the vastness into your soul: dream big, think big thoughts, refuse to be hemmed in.
