A guy I know who is temporarily living in NYC came home for 24 hours. Just what the doctor ordered! He’s here now, but I’ll soon be taking him to the bus station for the trip back to the city. We’ve had a lovely time.
But then, he’s a lovely guy.
By the way, if you want to see a ‘feel-good’ movie, watch Wonder, starring Julia Roberts, Owen Wilson, and Jacob Tremblay. Cried my eyes out in the best possible way.
Today, we look at the egg cups that are on the mantel that is right above my desk. These are all figurals and they make me smile every single day.
The bunny on the left is named Scout – she reminds me of Scoutie: the facial expression. the eyes and the big pink ears. Bunnies frolicking, chicks on a seesaw, and a dog – so much lovely detail.
Love the little girl in a bunny costume and the bunnies holding up the egg cup. There’s my childhood egg cup and a bunny standing outside his egg cup house.
Here we have hens and chicks and a scottie dog and two dogs holding up an eye cup and bunnies and a pig.
And, of course, there’s the Lamb with the Party Hat and lovely thimble with a cow on top sent to me by a blogging friend, Susi, who lives in Amsterdam.
A couple of the egg cups are here as the result of successful bidding wars in the middle of the night. I was younger then.
You know, of course, that looking at all these egg cups makes me want to hop on over to eBay and see what’s out there.
Happens every year. Like clockwork.
Happy Tuesday.
Glad Don got a break and came home for a visit!
I love your egg cups! I only have 5, 4 of which have polka dots ( which I love), and one is Peter Rabbit.
Hope you are feeling better.
Slowly but surely. Feeling much better than yesterday, Debbie.
You have the a fascinating group of egg cups. I always enjoy seeing them. I can’t wait to see a new addition or two(wink).
I’m glad Don was able to visit.

I might – I’m not saying – be on eBay right now!
Ditto…glad you and Don were together for the 24 hours. Was it planned or a surprise? Egg cups are so cute!
We talked about it on Saturday and Sunday and left it open because Don was really tired. But when he woke up Monday, he was ready to come home.
That was really sweet of Don to come home for 24 hrs. Yep…he’s quite the guy. So…started looking for more egg cups yet? It’s the perfect activity while you’re recovering! ;)
I haven’t started yet – no time – but I’m on eBay now!
Oh, how nice Don got home for a little while; just the tonic you needed.
Love seeing the cups; adorable expressions on some of the faces.
I know that urge, and then having to say to myself, “You have enough.”
I loved hearing him play the uke on your I/g!
How does he feel about the hair and goatee? Does he want to keep it or does he sometimes just want to shave it all off?
My husband says that when he retires (soon!), he may go months without getting a haircut and he fully intends to regrow his facial hair. (Both he and Don still have a great head of hair when so many other guys we know, even in their 20s, are losing theirs.) My husband had a beard when I met him.
Eeeewww, though. I happened to see an ex-‘boyfriend’ from a hundred years ago who’s grown out his now-white beard down to the middle of his chest and I found it very unattractive when he could otherwise be so appealing. Straggly and very-unSanta!
He loves his hair and the goatee. I don’t see him cutting it, except to keep it trimmed. Beards down to the middle of the chest, however, would not be permitted by yours truly. Or a ponytail, which I see a lot in men with receding hairlines. I get it, it’s a way to grow your hair long in spite of what’s happening with the hairline. Thankfully, Don would never do it.
OMG, those ponytails on older men are the worst. I hear you.
And they’re invariably thin and sort of stringy.
I often don’t even get to “You have enough!”
Seeing these makes me think of spring and know that it is coming.
Brings a smile to my face. Thanks for doing that.
Smiles are much needed!
What a lovely visit!! So glad Don could get home even for such a short time. I love the little bunny girl egg cup. Yes this makes me want to hop on Ebay also.
Hugs!!
That bunny girl’s face is so sweet!
I am enjoying your Easter egg cup posts. My Mother used to make us soft boiled eggs in an egg cup. I have tried to make soft boiled eggs but I can’t seem to get it right. Must be missing the Mom ingredient.
So did my mom. In the egg cup your parents gave me, as a matter of fact! I’ve had trouble recreating many of the things my mom routinely made. Sigh.
Schitt’s Creek tonight! Last week’s episode was the best yet, I thought.
It was great. It’s not on until tomorrow night here in the States. You get to see it first!
it DOES look like little Scout!
and your boyfriend is home. HOME!
that has been the best medicine of all I’m sure.
I can tell just by your post and your answers to comments! xo
But now he’s gone again! 7 pm show tonight. But it was the perfect medicine, Tammy!
just came from your Igram. I think the Uke is now my favorite instrument.
what a joy you both are. and oh Claudia. he’s such a keeper.
and I’m so happy for you!
He’s adorable, isn’t he?
Beautiful.
Thank you, Edis!
I bet that certain guy being home was a big help in making a certain gal feel better!…lol…
Oh seriously, it did!
Best medicine ever to have Don home with you ~ even if it was “just” for 24 hours. Hope you are feeling better.
My fav egg cup of yours has always been the 2 lifting up the egg cup. So cute!!
Rest well!! Tomorrow will be even better, I’m sure.
I love that one, too. Definitely the result of a middle-of-the-night bidding war!
Having Don come home for a short time is the perfect medicine. Enjoy your adorable egg cups. They are precious.

It was great to have him here, Marilyn. Too short, but I’ll take it.
Oh my goodness, I haven’t been on eBay in years! Now my curiosity is pushing me to see if there are any salesmen samples….I hunted them on eBay for years….never got one though. I love your collection!
Blessings, Joanne
Go check it out, Joanne! Thank you.
