The peepers are back! A sure sign of spring. When I was climbing the stairs last night, I heard them through the window. Don joined me. Hearing them again was joyful. And our bullfrog is back – he joins in, as well.
Today’s egg cups:
• A lovely little Scottie dog egg cup that I found many years ago. I’m pretty sure it was on eBay. I love this cup and I rarely see it elsewhere.
• A little girl made of wood with a wool cap (egg warmer.) The name “Maria” is on the base. Made by Sevi, an Italian company. Probably from the 50s. She was a gift from Tina Marie, who is a reader of this blog.
• A wooden sailor egg cup that Don and Scoutie gave me for my birthday one year. These were sold at Woolworth’s and made in Japan. It’s missing its white felt sailor cap, which served as an egg warmer.
It’s a dark morning, so this isn’t the best photo!
I think I need more of these little wooden children.
What else? I’m working every day on my dialect research. Monday is the first rehearsal so I’ll be headed into the city.
Sorry for the brevity, but I have a lot of things to do!
Stay safe.
Happy Friday.

It would be so hard even to pick the top five cutest egg cups! They all have their charm! It’s really fun seeing them!
Sounds like Spring is here!
Claudia says
Thank you, Barrie. I’m glad you’re enjoying them.
Stay safe.

peepers, a bullfrog, more cute egg cups, work … glad for you!
and continuing to pray for you all and those you love.
sunny and feeling like spring here … but the report is that streets are getting brined for ice-y snow later today or tomorrow. ugh … doesn’t look possible and i am not interested in snow at this time of year!
been puttering this morning while i wait for calls to be returned about several things … some not fun (insurance, taxes), but one might be. because i haven’t found one that i like in any antique or new-furniture store, i am considering having someone build a much-needed bookcase for me. not a built-in, but something i could move around and take with me. on the plus side, it would remove several stacks of books off the floor, look and feel better. the downside would be losing a dresser, not having a convenient place for the things now held in its three drawers. not the worst problem to have, and it’s not really a problem. just a wish or a goal. hence the puttering … i get something else done along with time to think about these things. :)
happy friday to everyone. stay safe!
kathy
Claudia says
Oh, a bookcase would be so helpful, wouldn’t it?
I hope puttering helps make it work, Kathy.
Stay safe.
Elaine in Toronto says
Three more cute little egg cups. I miss Woolworths and Kresge stores. There were both within walking distance of our house when we were growing up and quite close to our library. I loved their lunch counter – egg salad sandwich on white bread served with a dill pickle and potato chips with a vanilla milkshake. Heaven! Don’t work too hard, Claudia. Good luck on Monday. Stay safe. Hugs, Elaine
Claudia says
Oh, I miss them, too! We had both of them in my town and I loved, loved, loved spending time there. Why do all the good stores disappear?
Thanks so much, Elaine.
Stay safe.

I really love the wooden girl with the hat egg cup. I haven’t added to my collection in years. It’s good you are busy working and still finding time for the blog! Hugs!
Claudia says
I love her, too. She’s adorable.
Thanks so much, Linda.
Stay safe.
