I was on the lookout for something a little different for the 'square' theme this month.. but what? I had thought of finding the most perfect square vanilla slice and snapping it in all it's layered lusciousness.. annoyingly most vs's come rectangle in shape these days. My
mega slightly eggcentric brother in law produced what can only be described as an 'egg press' c1980.. my first thought was WHY? Then the quirkiness factor plus the opportunity to show off some of the really cute egg cups I've collected over the years took over and here we have..
l'œuf carré. I'm still wondering WHY :) Looking forward to checking out squares from around the world here. Happy Thursday, take care...p.s boiled eggs smell the same whatever the shape.. phew!
An egg press is new to me! Colourful decor, Grace!
ReplyDeletePersonally, I like eggs scrambled.
Positively brilliant, Grace! A wonderful spin on theme day.
ReplyDeleteI have china in the same pattern as your top shot. How about that!
This has got to be the most unique depiction of squares in all of city daily photo land. If there was a prize, I'm sure you would win.
ReplyDeletePS, I love the egg cups!
look s really good ! saluti Grace !
ReplyDeleteI think the checkered rooster's face says it all. :-)
ReplyDeleteLove your eggs and your egg cups, Grace. Good one!
ReplyDeleteIt's the first time I see a square egg! Arianna
ReplyDeleteHuh? I have never seen a square egg before. Only by an egg press? That is very funny Grace.
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of chicken lays square eggs .. :) Cool.
ReplyDeleteThe eggcups are cute and lovely.
Hugs
Ah, you're so much fun and SO clever!! I just bet those chickens laying square eggs have sore butts!!!! Love the egg cups, too!! Such a great, colorful and fun post for the day!!!
ReplyDeleteWell...now I've seen everything!!! Why is a good question on the square egg form!!! But I love your egg cups...what a great collection!!! And the square egg adds a bit of Dali to your pics!!! Love these!!!
ReplyDeleteFun! ♥
ReplyDeleteAloha
Haven't used an egg cup in years. My children when small thought they were hilarious ?? Who knows!!?? You have a very clever take on the theme this month!!
ReplyDeleteSquare eggs that is very new to me:) I have a few odd egg cups but not as interesting as yours. Keep well Diane
ReplyDeleteLike cubic, man ! Great interpretation on the theme. Mine is rather pedestrian.
ReplyDeleteI adore your collection of eggs cups !
ReplyDeleteYou're a good egg!
ReplyDeleteNow I've seen everything, a square egg. Well, almost everything. Now for a photo of the square chicken that lays the square egg.
ReplyDeleteI like your humour Grace, and I like your happy egg cups too, even though they're the wrong shape for your eggs!!!! Joy x
ReplyDeleteHow about that, pretty good.
ReplyDeleteI suppose a square egg is easier to slice but I am really not sure about whether I would eat one.
ReplyDeleteHow wonderfully brilliant of you, Grace. If we gave a prize for the best interpretation of the theme, you would win hands down.
ReplyDeleteVery clever post for Theme Day Grace!
ReplyDeleteEgg cups holding squared (or cubed) boiled eggs? What will they think of next.
ReplyDeleteWhen I come across a good egg cup, where do I ship it?
A square is a brilliant choice for theme day.
ReplyDeleteAwesome theme day shot Grace.
ReplyDeleteWhat a giggle!
ReplyDeleteYou hit it square!
ReplyDeleteA square meal...
ReplyDeleteI love your egg cups! Square hardboiled eggs should be easier to slice—regular ones have a tendency to roll around the plate.
ReplyDeleteA very novel "square" post Grace. Bravo!
ReplyDeleteMakes me wonder how I've got by for all these years without an egg press.
ReplyDeleteVery inventive. Brilliant
ReplyDeleteclever as always, Gracie
ReplyDeleteLove the cup with the spectacles!
ReplyDeleteA funny and interesting post, as always, and with beautiful images!
ReplyDeleteAha, six squares in the shape of a cube. And in an egg cup of Old Country Roses to boot. That doubles my viewing pleasure.
ReplyDeleteGreat designs, colorful and original! Abrazos
ReplyDeletethe square egg is certainly an interesting specimen. has your BIL not made any square egg cups to hold it properly? or does he just use a plate? (I have square plates that would suit)
ReplyDeletewhat a cute collection you have and this is the very first time i've seen a square egg!
ReplyDeleteSo lovely! Great entry, Grace.
ReplyDeleteI just had to come back to this post of yours... So cool!
ReplyDeleteBTW, yes, it is moi, Rob the Frog (we frenchmen eat frogs for breakfast, lunch and dinner), formerly of Barcelona fame.
Well, maybe no fame. But yes, Barcelona it is.
Had some safety scares, an averted identity theft, so I decided to go slightly less public.
Square pegs and round holes I have heard of. But square eggs in round cups? Well, we live and we learn - and things like this are sure fun to learn! Great pictures and story.
ReplyDeleteHee her that's funny.How the heck to get a square egg? Cute egg cup collection.
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice and fun egg cup collection ! And the shape of the "eggeplomme" is one I will remember!:)
ReplyDeleteHa, nice with the square egg.
ReplyDeleteI like it! square eggs would be so much easier to stack...
ReplyDeleteCreative choice for this theme, Grace!
