First of all, the good news. Laural is feeling much better. The medical treatment at the hospital was successful. She was able to return home last night. Thank you for your prayers. Hopefully, we’ll have the chance to talk to each other today.
The gentleman on the left is another favorite. In the years since I got him, I saw evidence there were originally two of these guys in a set. The heads could be removed and had holes for pouring salt and pepper. Interestingly, mine has none of those holes. But when I flip the head over I see a hole where a cork stopper used to be.
• Marked Ardalt, Occupied Japan, which makes this guy fairly valuable. It’s from the time when the US briefly occupied Japan after WWII – approximately 1945 – 1952. So, at the very least, it’s as old as me.
• Next, this beautiful goose, which I happened to find locally (a rarity). Marked Sarregumines, France.
• And this little cherub – I love cherubs – holding an egg cup. Marked Made in Japan. I am not completely sure this is an egg cup, as it could be a toothpick holder. But, since it involves a cracked egg, I’m going with egg cup.
All three of these egg cups sit on the little whatnot shelf near the bookshelves in the den.
We had a wind event yesterday, which drove both of us crazy. Today, thankfully, it is calm again, though very cold. It will continue to be on the cold side through Sunday. We’ll finally see daytime temps in the 60s next week. I need it to stay above freezing so I can do some garden cleanup!
Stay safe.
Happy Wednesday.
thanking God for that wonderful news for laural! glad she is home, praying for continued healing!
always fun to see the cutie egg cups. thanks for sharing. do you know how many egg cups you have?
glad warmer weather is in sight so you can enjoy time outside and gardening.
overslept today. no alarm set, a perk most days of retirement, but now have to rush a little.
hope everyone has a good day. keep safe, too.

I probably have around 70 or so.
Thanks, Kathy.
Stay safe.
I’m so glad to hear that your friend is feeling better.
Good luck with your yard work, Claudia.
Thank you, Ellen!
No yard work until it gets warmer outside and that won’t be until Sunday/Monday.
Stay safe.
So glad to hear Laural is responding to treatment…you must be so relieved.
Your Gentleman egg cup is quite large. Funny how his ‘lack of holes’ probably makes him more valuable, too.
Rain here today. I’m quite anxious to get outside and finish (more like start), my garden clean up. But, that will probably have to wait until the weekend…other things are on the schedule.
Enjoy your day! ;)
Yes, you’re right. He’s unique.
We have rain on Friday and Saturday. We need it but I’m tired of it.
Stay safe, Donnamae.
That IS good news. We’re in the cold zone, too. So tired of it. And of winter clothes!
Loving all the cups today!
Yes. I want warmth and spring right now.
Stay safe, Jeanie.
Glad to hear that Laurel is feeling better!
Thank you, Cheryl!
Stay safe.
The goose is always my favorite of your egg cups. It’s just so different. Such good news about your friend. The wind has been crazy the entire month of March and, to some extent, into April. I especially hate at night having to lay in bed listening to it roar.
I was in Costco this morning and discovered they got in their huge planters of Violas. I get one every spring so, naturally had to get one. It says they need to be covered below 28 degrees so I figure they’ll be ok on the front porch for now. It’s supposed to warm up to more seasonal 50’s next week. Crossing my fingers we’re going to be putting the daytime highs of low thirties and snow showers behind us.
Take care,
Kay
I am about ready to buy some pansies – the first flowers I put in planters. But because it’s so cold here, I’ll probably wait until Monday.
Stay safe, Kay.
I am enjoying seeing your egg cups again. Always so special this time of year.
I am glad your friend is doing much better. I have heart problems too so know how debilitating it can be.
Take care, Claudia and Don
Thank you, Lily. I’m sorry you’re suffering from heart problems.
Stay safe.
sorry you have that trouble, lily. i will keep praying for you!
sending hugs (if okay), too.

Thank you, Elaine.
Stay safe.
