A+ to whoever thought of using cupcake holders in this manner!
When I was a little girl about 6 or 7 growing up on our farm, we raised chickens to sell their eggs. Each spring my Dad would buy baby chicks so we’d have a steady supply of eggs. I LOVED playing with them in their brooder house but NEVER thought of dressing them up in cupcake cups!! I missed a fun thing for sure. My favorite thing with them was holding one of them and falling asleep on a chick feed bag. More than once Mom would look for me and that’s where she’d find me. One of my favorite child-hood memories. What’s better than holding a soft fuzzy little chick unless it’s cuddling a soft new kitten!! 🙂
Oh Lois you have brought back so many wonderful memories of spring on the farm! 💕
Glad you thought about memories of spring on the farm, too. I didn’t appreciate living there when I was growing up but NOW going back to those days, life wasn’t bad at all. I have some very fond memories. We moved back into town when I started high school. Since I was little during WWII days, we basically grew everything we ate. There were only mom, dad, and me but we had a huge garden with all kinds of veggies, raspberries, strawberries, fruit trees, a huge chicken house so we could have eggs to sell, a Guernsey cow (best cream for ice cream I’ve ever had), raised hogs to sell, corn, beans. At the time we had no electricity, only kerosene lamps for light. I had a rope swing on the huge mulberry tree that I spent MANY hours using. A 16×20 play house with a map of the United States on the floor, kitchen appliances, 2 chair table, little upright piano (mom had her small baby grand in the house) that I taught myself to play. Lots of time spent in there, too. Plus my first bunny when I was 9 that I’d lay out with under a big tree and watch the clouds float by in summer.
Heaven Lois. Absolute heaven. Always regretted not pursuing the farm life. But I have all the best memories!
All that sounds fantastic. The closest I’ve ever gotten to farm life is chasing Aunt Evelyn’s chickens around the yard. It was loads of fun but apparently we were scaring the chickens so bad they wouldn’t lay eggs so we had to stop. Kid me thought the chickens were having fun too.
I’m not one to watch ballet but this is one chicken dance I would gladly watch. I would never have thought of cupcake holders being used as tutus.
Absolute genius here.
I have some Christmas cupcake wrappers if they need donations for the holiday season…
The Nutcracker comes to mind.
Oh. For. Pete’s. Sake.
Isn’t this part of the Quarantine Challenge, where you recreate a famous painting with items found in your home? I think this is supposed to represent Dancers by Degas…
Yes!
“Has anyone in this family ever SEEN a chicken?”
When I was in high school, eons ago, a dance troupe appeared one day, a transvestite group
who did this very thing. A total riot that would never happen in these uptight PC times. A happy
memory in the high school auditorium.
This dance troupe still exists – Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo – The World’s Foremost All-Male Comic Ballet Company. Luckily I got to see them on March 11th, just shortly before our Stay at Home order took effect.
I’ve seen them on PBS. Hilarious.
I had no idea NTMTOM based that name off a real troupe. You guys teach me so many new things. This seems like a show I’d really enjoy. After the current crisis, I hope I get a chance to see them.
I’d go see this performance of the Cluckaderos (snerk). It’s absolutely adorably cute but still so many questions, like WHY?? I mean, who wakes up one morning and thinks, oh let’s put my chickens in cupcake tutus.
My favorite is the ‘upskirt’ shots.
