 I found this really old, framed portrait by the street in the trash many years ago... curved glass still not broken!

I couldn't bear to let someone's heritage be destroyed, so it's hung in our home for many years. I have no idea who the child is.

The bowl was my grandmother's... and... my MOM is 90. So, it's old.

The eggs are from chickens. :) (I got them at the grocery store.)

I have no idea where we got the lamp... NOR why I already had lamp oil. We've never tried to light it before.

But, here we are. :)

PLEASE let this do well... I've let my teammates down really a bunch lately.

One of my faves from this challenge! I love antiques and vintagey goodness. I also have that same frame that I found at habitat for $8 (score!). There's a portrait of a man that I don't know, but he hangs proudly in my house. The curved glass has a certain charm to it right??? I love that yours is a portrait of a child. Anyway, lovely photo - captures all the feels perfectly. :)

a casual murkiness, a casual ensemble, a gratuitous light, and a generosity of eggs. points for oddness.
