Geocache Description:


This cache is all about one of my obsessions.  It all started many years ago when I was dating.  I purchased for my wonderful girlfriend an egg.  It was polished stone and sat on a nice little wooden stand.  She loved it and things started to grow from there.  Over the years I kept finding places that had ornate eggs for sale.  They are made from Stone, Metal, Fabric, Glass, and a few real eggs as well.  Many years later my wife told me "Stop!  You are obsessed and I don't want any more eggs!"

 

The greatest and most expensive of these eggs took quite some time to arrange.  It started when we drove past an ostrich farm and stopped by to see if they sold ostrich eggs.  We bought two at an extremely low price.  As soon as we got home I contacted a lady I had met a few years before.  She was in the business of customizing eggs.  Below is the creation that she made for us.

 

The inside is coated with crystal.  There are two slits in the back to let in some light.  The inside is decorated with a small imitation waterfall and several small birds.  The door on the front has a small hinge to allow it to be opened and closed.  It rests on a golden stand and is topped by a flower shaped topper.

 

I still look for eggs when I enter a store.  From time to time I see one that is unique, but I have learned to try to ignore them.
