Me too. I have a scattering of antique shops I visit... too often. If it's been 6 months since I've been in one, I get my hopes up. A couple of shops that buy estates know what I'm after and they are most fruitful. I have never found a mug in a Goodwill store, but many exotica and Hawaiian music albums, (25 cents each), and a few interesting tiki shirts... and skinny ties.
