lifestyles of the rich and famous

take two of my favorite (favourite for  you Canadians) things, eggs and opals.  What do ya get? 

Now for sale at Tiffany & Co, this little pink opal egg designed by Jean Schlumberger in the 1960s can be yours for the measly price of $1,250 (plus tax).  If only it came in blue. 

"An egg today is better than a hen tomorrow" Part VI - The Rest

aka, I've been fairly comprehensive up to this point, and now I'm starting to get busy with other life things...too busy to focus so heavily on a project that I myself won't be able to do for at least several years.  So I'm doing a cop-out:  here's a fantastic link, from backyardchickens.com about everything else you will need to know about raising chickens.  This includes diseases, if you get them from egg vs. chick, suppliers, all that fun stuff.

So I hope you enjoyed my random six-part informational section about the backyard hen house!  I know I did, and I will definitely be using all this research sometime in the near(ish) future.

embroidered eggs

 

This awesome piece of embroidery is done by Lithuanian artist, Severija Incirauskaite.  Don't Panic magazine has a pretty cool interview featuring this crafty artist, as well as other samples of her work.
