More in our little tour, part 11!
β’ Our friend on the left is very tall. Years after I found this cup, I discovered that they usually came in a pair. The head can be removed and is supposed to have holes for salt and pepper. Mine doesn’t for some reason. So, you put the egg in the cup – it would have to be soft boiled because it’s a very large opening, and you turn the head upside down to salt and/or pepper it. An early find.
β’Β This one is a favorite. It was made by Mansell, a company in England. It’s Humpty Dumpty sitting on a wall, and the egg goes inside the head. I usually display this one with a painted egg that Don foud for me in Prague.
These guys live on the little shelf I have in the den.
Hope you’re all doing well.
Stay safe.
Happy Tuesday.

Your egg cup collection is so varied and interesting!
Hope your NYC work is going smoothly. Thinking of that shot you took with the row of bikesβdo you ever take a bike to your job? My son travels all over the city for work and he often takes a bike.

The tall one, how clever; everything you need with place for the egg and the shaker to boot! Any thoughts about how old he might be?

I remember when Don brought that painted egg home when he was working in Prague. My daughter is going on a trip this summer with friends and one of the destinations is Prague. She is quite excited.
I think about you often during the day and wonder how things are going on your new adventure. Hope you are enjoying the work and the people you are coaching! Take care.

As a former kindergarten teacher, I love the Humptys! Our end-of-the-year event was a Mother Goose party and I always made the Humpty Dumpty costumes. Good memories!
