I have always collected things.
Even as a kid.
My first collection was coffee pots.
Yes, coffee pots.Don't ask why.
I was this 5 year old kid with 25 coffee pots in my room.
No wonder I turned out the way I did!
Anyway, I always pic up eggcups when I see them at flee markets.
As long as they are not more then $1.Never pay more.
I find them to be the perfect little gift.Filled with candy or as here filled with flowers.
I put them on a tray and my guests can pick one as they leave.

What a wonderful idea, Paul, to let your guests bring something home! I love the generosity in this, it's always more nice to give... I hope you are receiving all that is good too. Wish you a magical weekend! The least I can do when I've enjoyed your good nature.
