We have a very important message for you, dear egg cup collectors, egg cup lovers and readers in general: this blog is still alive! We took a little break but here we are again, with plenty of egg cups to share with you. Today we take a look at some pieces communicating messages, in case another proof was need to demostrate that egg cups are much more than things to put your eggs on.
