Classic Offbeat Homes: “You’ll shoot your eye out!” (plus gingerbread!)

Building With Eggs

Yup egg building. Soon it’ll be sweeping the country; or not.
I have no idea what’s going on here. Unusual Life — a super keen oddball blog posted this a while back with no explanation. However, on the upside, I suppose if you built an entire city out of eggs that it would at least be […]
