Eggshells are the best!

Posted on by Jean Campbell

  Make use of refuse. Lean into resourcefulness for a bit of support through the trying times ahead. I love eggshells- everything about them. An eggshell protects the baby bird contained within, holding it in a perfect, liquid environment that doesn't leak yet still breathes.
