fluffyknickers Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 For my birthday my mum bought me a lovely egg holder from Debenhams - it was really pretty and had matching egg cups etc. When she gave it to me I said it reminded me of a hen shaped egg holder she used to have years ago and my dad went to the garage and came back in with it - they got it when they married!!! I said even though it wasnt modern and not normally my sort of thing I would rather have that than the new one so my dad washed it and gave it to me and now I keep my girls eggs in it! Husband doesnt like it but I think its rather retro and a tad bunting cupcake! See the pics! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 I think it's lovely! my SIL just bought be a portmeirion one for my Easter pressie! I already have a hand painted one that my parents bought me, but this portmeirion one is a collectors item as they are expensive to buy normally (she got this from a charity shop) It will go with my other chickenailia I am acquiring...lolol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fluffyknickers Posted April 10, 2009 Author Share Posted April 10, 2009 I saw that too. Until now its never had an egg in it - dad had it in the garage with a load of old odd keys in! Doesnt matter what its worth or not its a nice place to put the girls eggs. x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plum Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 For my birthday my mum bought me a lovely egg holder from Debenhams - it was really pretty and had matching egg cups etc. Its lovely but what about your poor mum's birthday present for you. Have you sent it back or are we going to see it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Janty Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 I have two of the black and white price kensington hens...they look great in our conservatory. I would like one of their duck shaped egg holders but I've only seen one and it was far too expensive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 Wow that is gorgeous - bunting cupcake it may be, but hold onto it! I'm also curious as to what became of the Debenhams one! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fluffyknickers Posted April 11, 2009 Author Share Posted April 11, 2009 Debenhams egg holder and egg cups sent back to the shop! Keep telling the children off (4 and 2) as they have developed a liking of keep taking the lid off the hen egg holder and touching the eggs!!! Never had a chip in decades, two weeks with me and nearly chipped already! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 ok here are mine, first the hand painted egg holder I use everyday that my parents bought me and then the portmeirion one with a few other items of chickenailia I have got recently, a planter and a painted iron door stop.

Olly Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 I think that's lovely, mazzyc! The fact that it was one of your parents' wedding presents would make it even more special if it were mine, never mind any rarity value. I like your white one too, CookieMonster. I keep mine in a wire basket thing, I would post a picture but yet again I've lost my photobucket password ... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cooks Posted April 13, 2009 Share Posted April 13, 2009 thanks Olly it is rather special to me as my parents hunted whilst on holiday for one for me bless them, so it means a lot to me. I love all my gifts though, so hubby is now having to put me up a shelf and the planter will have to find a plant and go outside..
