Well, basement, not attic (house doesn't have an attic), and blown-out eggshells are surprisingly durable, especially if you keep them in old egg cartons, but same idea. :) The way we keep it manageable is the Easter Monday tradition of the boys coming to water the girls, and getting decorated eggs for their trouble: in other words, we give away most of our production. Attrition happens, but we have some eggs from 40 years ago. | |

Which is good, because else there would be boxes of fragile content in the attic nobody is ever looking at (my family is a big packrat about everything else). Even my cousin's grandma breaks hers, and she does those wax-filigreed ones, like thehungariangirl.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/…. You can see it a bit like cake decorating: takes hours, is beautiful, but the result is a consumable. | |

Even if you're my niece; her "quantity, not quality" merely means that she often does a design on only one side of the egg. Ain't no way in H-E-double-hockey-sticks I'm letting anyone break one of the eggs I've decorated, like on purpose and everything. | |
