For Friday field trip this week, I am taking you with me for a cup of tea to the home of a friend.  She collects vintage egg cups and I thought with the Easter holiday approaching, it would be a fun thing to share with you.  The vintage egg cups are scattered throughout my friend’s beautiful old home located in a historic district.  I have always been fascinated with her collection and had fun examining it once again while we chatted over tea.

My favorite piece is definitely the sweet little chick egg cup in the opening photo.  The egg cup below holds some incense, but most of the egg cups throughout the house are empty.  How fun would it be to fill them with colored Easter eggs?

This piece was really unique to the collection because it was the only one of clear glass…

Some of the pieces looked extremely old, like the striped one in the photo below…

This piece proudly displays the owner’s heritage…

The collection displayed on the stove held wishbones from Thanksgivings gone by…

Roosters seem to be a popular egg cup motif…I love these with the pink interiors…

I hope you enjoyed sharing this vintage egg cup collection with me.  I don’t have photos of every egg cup I saw, but I do have additional photos I will post to my facebook in case you are interested in seeing more from the collection.  I am also sharing at the Inspiration Gallery, Crafts a la Mode, Common Ground, The Charm of Home, and Craftionary.

Thanks for sharing.  Have a wonderful weekend and remember to take pleasure in simple things, Jackie
