GLASS HEN

Since Doug finished the sunroom we have started to sort our possessions. Of course, there is too much as we have the "treasures" from both our houses and lives.  One item that I am using is a Glass Hen that Doug had.  It only holds 5 eggs but is useful to just have them on the bench and the rest somewhere cooler.

  1. I have an egg holder that holds just 5 eggs. 5 is the new half-dozen.

  3. Lovely, and as an ornament as well as being very handy.

  4. I bought a box of 10 free range eggs this week, and thought it a rather curious number to sell being always used to a dozen!!

  5. Love the hen. It wouldn't fit on our bench. There is too much other stuff. Oh for a nice clear bench

  6. I keep half a dozen handy, in an egg basket - not nearly as attractive as your lovely broody hen.

  7. I used to have a nice 12 egg wooden rack but gave it to a friend when I moved down here. Much prefer this glass hen.

  8. When two households come together, it is hard to choose what to keep. The glass hen was a good choice.

    1. There is a lot still to sort as Doug and his late wife were collectors.
