Many people like to collect vintage items. Here is a collection of beautiful egg cartons from my friend Sandie of Steadman's Corner. I decided to put them in a group with my new-old milk glass egg cups in front of my newly remodeled dish rack, china hutch, cabinet! (Isn't that what we all call them?) See inside the yellow carton? Those are fresh eggs from my girls in My Little Red Barn!

So I was visiting Sandie at Steadman's Corner when I was looking at one of the beautiful photographs that Sandi takes. She is not only a Vintage Junkie, but a great photographer. I commented to her that My Girls (my chickens) would love vintage cartons like that. (Actually, it was me)
Sandie was just so kind to send me these cartons. Isn't she just the sweetest person? Thank you, Sandie. You are the greatest! She also included that vintage chick card, it says "Slick Chick" I love it!
My 6-month old pullets are beginning to lay eggs finally!
They have been integrated into the whole flock and are getting along just fine. Chickens are curious creatures. They love checking out each others diggs. Here are a few of my older ones checking out the nursery side.

Isn't this Rooster pretty? His name is Speedy. When he was just a peep, my son named him that, because he was just so speedy! The surprise came when we realized he was a boy, because he was sexed as a girl! We love him, anyways!
Thanks Sandie, again for your generosity and I hope you like my pictures of the cartons!
Blessings to everyone,

Very cool gifts ! I love all your girls & Guy !
ReplyDeleteYour vintage cartons are so much prettier than the ones we get today. I love your chickens, they are so cute - how lovely to be able to get fresh eggs. Have a lovely evening x
ReplyDeleteSuch darling egg cartons, charming graphics! And it's so much fun to see your chickens - I wish we could have some but our yard is too small. :(
ReplyDeleteHappy Rednesday!
Those are the cutest vintage egg cartons Susie. I am so excited for you that your 6 month old pullets are laying now. I hope to see some new recipes linked up here soon... lol.
ReplyDeleteSpeedy is beautiful. It always seemed weird to me how male birds are so much "showier' than females. (I know, it's a made-up word, but my brain isn't cooperating). BTW- I love your hen house images, they're lovely. Thank you for sharing and for linking up at my blog. Have a GREAT week ahead Susie.

Thanks every one. Yes, Sandie is the sweetest!
ReplyDeleteI really think if you guys can have chickens, it is worth at least looking into. It is almost an addictive behavior!
I love your chickens. Some of them look like the same breeds as mine! Very cute!!! I'm glad the new ones are getting along ok and no bullying! Now relax and have a great rest of the weekend.
