I’ve been taking photos of my figural egg cups because Country Living magazine contacted me yesterday wanting to know if I would be willing to ship some of my egg cups to them for a photo shoot. They have a monthly feature on collecting. This will be for the May issue. I sent the photos in and the editor sounded excited about what I have, chose some favorites, and I’m going to wrap them in bubble wrap, box them up, and send them to CL via UPS. I should have them back by the end of February.
They found me through Instagram. I’m thrilled to have them featured, but it’s a little bit like sending your kids off to camp. Will they be safe? Some of them would be very hard to replace. They were looking for chicks and ducks and Easter season egg cups, which is just as well, because I told the editor the Snow White set was off the table – it’s too rare and too many years were spent hunting for the entire set.
I actually got out of the house yesterday as we had to drive over to Rick and Doug’s to water their plants. They’re off on a trip. To be frank, there’s no way we would be traveling during this time! I don’t want to be on a plane for several hours with others when Omicron is so contagious. Also, because we travel so rarely, I don’t want to spend money for a trip when I have to wear a mask all the time. But I do understand the urge to escape the winter for a bit, so more power to them.
I set off their alarm again, which is exactly the same as ours, so really, what is my problem???
Anyway, we went to the grocery store first – and by we, I mean Don, Imogen, and me. I had just dressed her in a coat and Don said, “Let’s take her with us!” So, we did.
I sat in the car while Don ran in to grab a few things. Imogen and I played a bit.
The first car journey for Imogen – at least, on this side of the Atlantic. How do you like that coat? I would like a human-sized version. Same for the boots and the leggings.
The entire outfit, thank you very much.
Lordy, she’s cute! It was quite fun to have her in the car with me.
It’s very rainy here today. It will continue all day and then take us into snow and ice tomorrow. I don’t think we’re going to get a lot of it, but any sleet/ice is dangerous. It won’t be helped by plunging temperatures – we won’t be able to rely on the sun to melt everything.
Stay safe.
Happy Thursday.
