Happy Saturday... this week, I've continued to "springisize" my home... placing my bunnies, chicks and Easter decor in their places. My egg cups have made their appearance as well.
After the long winter, everything feels so "clean" and bright! Decorating with whites and pinks always cheers me up!
These Limoges egg cups were a gift from a friend about 12 years ago.... she surprised me with a set of ten. I've always wondered if they are really "egg" cups... since they are so large (4" high, 2.5" diameter); not quite big enough for ostrich eggs, but definitely too big for regular eggs... Do they have another purpose maybe? I've done some research, but have not come up with anything. So if you are familiar with my over-sized Limoges (they are marked) egg cups, please write!
My pretty French plate is not super old... but when I ran across a pair of them a few years back, I couldn't resist their charm! Not only do they have a dainty bouquet, and beautiful border with butterflies, but the plates themselves are a blush pink color; almost the color of very pale cotton candy.
One of my very favorite Springtime items is this dainty little birdie egg. The egg itself has a beautiful sheen (appears to be made out of milk glass) and has been lovingly decorated with velvet ribbon, sequins, millinery, and perched on the very top, a feathered pink friend! The bird is made of felt--very very faded pink felt.
Don't forget to stop by Beverly's Pink Saturday party for more pink loveliness!
Very pretty! I love the egg cups Pinkim!

Delightful egg cups posted on your blog. Reminds me I need to get out the Easter decorations. I'm a little behind. Oh well. I'll catch up or I won't.

Oh the egg cups are really pretty. The french plate is extraordinary--I would snatch them up if I saw them too. Happy Pink Sat.

I love your limoges egg cups, no matter what the purpose. I giggled at the thought of them being used for ostrich eggs.
They're just beautiful, as are ALL of your springy pinks.
The only egg cups I have are boring white. I would love something like that.
