joy of luck: day 04: favorite material things

This is my 048.365 photo. Today's theme is, "find seven materials things that you LOVE.  What are they?  Capture these with your lens." We have an entire curio cabinet filled with these precious and beautiful handmade eggs. And the eggs are all real bird eggs, in different sizes from different types of birds. These are all gifts from my husband's parents. They have their own collection, and they sort of started a tradition with gifting us with these - so now we have our own collection. Each one of them is unique and handmade with such detail by a family friend. We probably have 20-30 in our collection but I definitely have my favorite 7, these 2 pictured are on that list. The one in the background is our wedding egg, it's shaped as a carriage with a wedding couple dancing inside and the writing on the inside of the carriage door is taken from our wedding invitations. The egg front and center was for when our daughter was baptized.
