Our second jab is this morning, so I’m writing this post earlier than I usually do.

Don concocted something tasty in the crock pot yesterday, so we’re set if we end up not feeling well. But I trust we’ll be fine. It’s going to be rainy today and tomorrow, so we’ll kick back and take it easy, if I don’t go mad trying to complete the tricky jigsaw puzzle I’m working on.

I think we’ll both feel greatly relieved when we’ve had the second shot. I imagine those of you who have already been fully vaccinated felt the same thing. We had to wait four weeks between our first and second shots, so it’s been a long time coming – at least, to us.

More egg cups, in the Harlequin pattern by Homer Laughlin, circa midcentury or earlier. I’d love to get a couple more in other colors. Two of these were gifts and soon after I received them, I found two more. And that’s a Bakelite napkin ring.

I very seldom decorate for holidays – the exception being Christmas. But I usually display my fabric Easter eggs. For some reason, I haven’t done that this year. But I need a splash of pastels, so I’m going to get them out this afternoon.

Okay my friends. I’m off to make more coffee. Sorry this is so short!

Stay safe.

Happy Wednesday.

Wind. And more wind. But, in spite of the wind, the sun popped out. That makes it a bit more bearable. We are off to Don’s eye doctor this afternoon for his treatment. We pick up our grocery order tomorrow morning, so we have food on hand in case we feel less than tip top after our second vaccine on Wednesday.

I’m working on a puzzle that is a wee bit difficult. I know you understand that I love jigsaw puzzles and the entire process of putting them together, but an equally important benefit that I don’t usually mention is that working on a puzzle really helps my anxiety. The kind of zen-like focus involved in solving the puzzle really makes a difference in my well-being. I used to feel the same thing when I was knitting or crocheting or doing the crossword puzzle.

Anyway, more egg cups:

Disregarding the top row of cubbies (it was on another post,) we have an Emma Bridgewater egg cup that I purchased in London a few years ago, a Walking Ware egg cup from England, a wonderful egg cup from Devon from a blogging friend, a Holt Howard rooster egg cup, a flow blue transferware egg cup, a tiny little rabbit holding up an egg cup, an art deco style cup found at the Paris Flea Market, another egg cup from the flea market, a rooster egg cup given to me by a reader of the blog, a face egg cup – also a gift, another rooster egg cup (they were a pair,) a brown transferware egg cup – Mason’s Vista – from England, a chick coming out of an egg from Portugal (the egg itself was a gift from my mom,) a very old red transferware cup found at the flea market in Paris, two egg cups from Abbey Road in London, a Hankscraft egg cup, another chicken coming out of an egg (from my mom,) a little chick (from mom,) a Jadeite egg cup, and two modern cups that were a gift – I think they’re from Finland, but I’m not sure if I’m remembering correctly.

There’s more, of course, and I’ll try to post them this week as we head toward Easter.

Stay safe.

Happy Monday.
