It's been in my consciousness for as long as I can remember. The egg holders were very common here.

It might be that I’m becoming more decreeing now that I am living with a capsule wardrobe but I still can’t resist a lovely piece of clothing when I see it.<br />The egg holders are curious things, I’ve not seen anything like them before - what a great idea though - especially the salt compartment!<br />What a lovely dinner service. And it’s always the way that you don’t notice the details of things you’re so accustomed to seeing. What a lovely surprise.HazelxJoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05438389465030714608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-833738977646898455.post-47237203087670980392016-11-30T15:45:08.631+01:002016-11-30T15:45:08.631+01:00I googled Blue Heaven china, and can see why you a...I googled Blue Heaven china, and can see why you are obsessed with it.
