Friday – cooler than earlier in the week, but the rain has left and the sun is shining. Looking at the next ten days, I see temps in the 40s, then 60s, then 30s. All over the place. The other night we heard the peepers! They usually appear around mid-March, but this was earlier than usual, most likely because it had been very warm. We were so excited! But the next day the temperatures really dropped and we didn’t hear them last night. We probably won’t until it warms up significantly.
It has begun: another tour of the egg cups. I am pulling from previously used photos because I can’t count on the light these days and I don’t want to pull them out of the cubbies. Yes, I’m lazy.
Here are four of my favorites. Four egg cups from Japan and marked “Japan” on the bottom. On the left, a dog wearing a hat and dressed in a suit. then a little boy dressed as a cowboy, a rosy-cheeked little boy with a blue hat, and another little boy wearing a clown suit, with his little dog at his side.
Here we have Humpty Dumpty sitting on a brick wall. Made by Mansell – a company in England. I found this one pretty early on in my collecting.
I was first enchanted by figural egg cups. The majority of my egg cups are figural in nature because they’re whimsical and charming and you know how much I love whimsy. Since they are the bulk of my collection, that’s what I’ll concentrate on during this tour.
Thanks so much, my friends.
Stay safe.
Happy Friday.
