Kids were hunting for eggs in the churchyard at St. Paul's this morning--pink sundresses and blue ties coated in confetti, their straw hats forgotten for baskets full of treasures. Despite all the fun new things at Mirth (Moroccan poufs and bright red slippers, yellow and pink Gerbera daisies), my eyes went straight to this little footed egg cup. These handy and elegant containers have been around for a long time. Archeologists have found silver egg cups that date all the way back to 74 BC, and collectors still hold egg cup conventions (yes, folks, those exist!).
The point is, hunting for cool, shiny, beautiful things isn't just for kids. Stop by and find your own piece of treasure at Mirth. If you happen to have on a bright pink sundress and straw hat with an enormous bow, all the better! It's pure spring in the store today.
