Just Us Chicks For Breakfast!

Hey everyone! Thought I'd share an everyday setting for breakfast today, just me and my chicks:@)
Ok, maybe one little pig too.
See that huge coffee mug? Oh yea, that's keepin' it real!

I've had this chippy chicken (rooster?) salt and pepper/napkin holder for well over 15 years. 
A month or so ago one of the eggs fell off and broke. Bummer.

I happened to go through the wedding/baby shower isle at AC Moore, something I never do.
Look at what I found, "about to hatch" S&P party favors for a baby shower!

This just puts a big ole smile on my face every time I look at it:@)

  2. That is so cute. I had my husband pull down the spring tubs last night. I want to make this house look a little more "springy" before the day is over.

  14. Hello Lynn,
    this is a fantastic replacement for the broken egg. Tell us the truth, it fell down, broke and then the little chick hatched. I think, I see the hen lucky smiling. Waited so long for this moment.

  34. Good morning Lynn. I was just about to tell you I have an egg to fit that hen and look what you found. Perfect. What a cute post and i would love a half of grapefruit right now. I used to have a grapefruit tree in Florida. Boy, do I miss my delicious picked off the tree grapefruit. You just gave me a sweet memory. Alas, the mountains are no place for citrus trees.

    Have a chicky day today.
    Hugs, Jeanne

  61. So cute! It's amazing what you can find when you look in a different part of the store. Thanks for your comments about my pitiful efforts, You girls all put me to shame. But I still love to come and visit!

    ReplyDelete

  67. So Cute... makes me smile too :)

  68. This is wonderful...and that hatching chick you found is a stroke of genius. I think it is much cuter than having two matching unhatched ones.
    Adorable!!!

    ReplyDelete
  69. What a surprise to see a chick hatching out of the egg. I would have bet on your egg having a pig, but wait, do pigs come from eggs. As always, a delightful, playful table.

    ReplyDelete
  70. I broke one of my Swanky Swig juice glasses a couple of weeks ago. I almost cried.

    I think you did well in your choice of a replacement for your egg. :)
