Eggbeater and Eggs Still Life

I've bought this twice as a note card. I bought bowls very much like the one pictured here. They had stripes the same colors. I bought them in the 80s at a local hardware store. I like the glaze on the bowls. The old turn of the century house where I grew up had a lovely summer kitchen. It was my mother's favorite room in the house. There was an old porcelain sink where my father used to wash up after doing yard work, painting or working on his car. He used to wash his paint brushes at the sink. I've even seen him shave in front of the mirror. There was a round, antique mirror over the sink. Of course, the room wasn't heated so it was only a room that we walked through to get to the shed in the winter months. There was a table and chairs where my mother used to sit occasionally in the summer. There were shelves and I had the bowls of various sizes, colorful antique bottles and pitchers lined up on the shelves. There was a framed, matted print of "Monet Painting in the Garden" (not sure) over the table. None of it means very much to me now that my parents are gone. The house was sold. I also had a collection of Jean Henry's small framed theorem paintings. You can find images of them online. They're beautiful pictures of lambs, geese, a girl standing next to an apple tree, etc. She's very well known. Her husband made the frames for them. I had some displayed on a shelf and some on the wall. There was an antique skater's lamp that I bought at an antique mall in Wiscasset, Maine. It was hanging on a hook on the wall next to the bowls on the shelves. I still like to use an egg beater. Most people use a whisk nowadays. This beautiful photo brings back a lot of memories of the house and especially the summer kitchen.
