While out and about looking for a gift the other day, I came across this little egg cup. I’ve posted about my collection, but the truth is I haven’t added to the collection in a long time. They seem to be getting harder and harder to find. So when I saw this goose egg cup, I squealed with delight. It is so charming – it has a made in France stamp on the bottom. And it was only $4.00.
I want to share two things with you. Our niece, Lauren, will be featured on Bang for Your Buck on HGTV tonight at 9:30 pm. She is a realtor in San Diego. We’re so proud of her. She is beautiful, photogenic and very successful in her career. The HGTV people like her so much that she is doing 8 more episodes – she just finished filming her second. I also have to add that she is as beautiful on the inside as she is on the outside. Congratulations, Lauren!
I am honored to be featured as a Shackster at The Katillac Shack. Kelee told me that the post will be up this evening in time for Pink Saturday and through next week. Heidi of Heart and Home is also featured. Kelee is an amazing person. Her Design Gives Back has done so much for so many. I admire her more than I can say. Please stop by and leave a comment – Kelee has a giveaway planned in conjunction with this and she tells me there just might be a piece of vintage McCoy pottery involved!

Claudia, that is one pretty egg cup. I never see one like yours.. at my side of the world, we hardly use egg cups, so to find one as interesting as yours, is hard and very rare chance..
Congrats to your Niece.. wish we got HGTV here too..

CARMELINA LOUNSBURY says
I have three older egg cups myself…come by and see them under the ‘collections’ index, if you like!
it’s fun to collect things, and I agree they really are getting harder and harder to find! but maybe that’s because more and more people are collecting them than we think!
I would watch your niece, but I don’t get HGTV because we don’t have cable…only digital antenna!
ciao bella

IT MUST BE GREAT FUN TO BE A SHACKSTER AT THE KATILLAC SCHACK…YOU WILL BE PERFECT.
I HAVE FOLLOWED KELEE SINCE SHE OPENED HER BLOG BUT I COULDN’T GET IN TO COMMENT …I SENT AN E MAIL AND THEY SAID IT WASN’T ANYTHING ON THEIR PART AND FINALLY IN A 3 MONTH PERIOD I WAS ABLE TO GET IN ONCE AND TWICE….I’M SO VERY PLEASED TO KNOW SHE IS GENUINE…THAT MAKES MY HEART HAPPY.
I HAVE MISSED TALKING TO YOU CLAUDIA. I HOPE YOUR HEARTS ARE RECOVERING FROM THE LOSS OF YOUR FATHER IN LAW.
HUGS AND LOVE CLAUDIA

Happy Pink Saturday Claudia Sweetie…
What a beautiful post. Love the egg cup. I have never seen one but, since you shared your collection I am on the look out for them. I would love to have a few for my china cabinet. They are just beautiful.
Congratulations to your neice, Lauren. I will be watching. How exciting to actually know someone that is on TV, but you are related. Now how exciting is that? I love it.
Congrats to you on being a Shackster. Isn’t Kelee just the most beautiful sweet spirit of all? Love her. I will pop over and say hi and read your write up.
Have a beautiful Saturday. Country hugs and much love…Sherry

Hi Claudia,
I really like your little egg cup.
You are so right, they are hard to find. And to find one for $4.00, yippee.
Congrats to your niece. I’ll be looking for her on the show.
