Eggs & Chairs

I'm realizing I really have a thing for eggs, or rather starting to develop such thing. I'm totally in love with eggs as a food product - it's hard for me to imagine my breakfast life without scrambled eggs most days of the month; then we have fish eggs which I am so thankful for being able to have on the cheap (compared to most countries in the world); then there we have my dream shower and it's egg-shaped; then there's the famous egg chair, which I like and have been really wanting a miniature copy of lately... Then we have Wendy Brandes and her 'Chicken in Egg' locket, which I just LOVE (I could care less about the cuteness of the hen, but that golden egg just rocks my world, and the fact that it can be opened totally blows my mind). And so I was thinking about eggs a lot today (the whole Easter craze must have something to do with it too), and, just like with chairs a while back, I realized this new weird pattern of mine has already showed silent signs of developing before - I remembered being fascinated with this egg statue I came across in Barcelona...

Not too sure what to make of it, but taking into consideration that Salvador Dali had quite some obsessions and eggs were one of them, and Antoni Gaudi is believed to had thought of an egg as of a perfect form, maybe I'm onto something here! Only one thing is certain now - I am thankful for eggs!!

  2. That's so funny...I just posted about my co-workers chickens, which she keeps for eggs, of course. They taste sooo much better than store-bought eggs.

  3. Haha this is really interesting... I actually don't eat eggs - things made with eggs yes, but not eggs in their real form. I love that shower though and I have to say I'm thankful for all the delicious things that wouldnt be possible without eggs... like cake :)

  7. I love eggs. I don't even care if they smell like stinky farts! Haha! But that sculpture is awesome! I can see why you'd be fascinated with it. My mom told me a story the other day about how she left me and my friends at home when I was in younger, and the three of us ate 40 eggs instead of decorating them for Easter baskets. She had to go out and buy more! Haha =) Such a fatty!
