Esther's reading corner 1998

My mother Esther loved to read. She had a reading corner in the sunroom and music studio that my folks had added onto the house in 1989. In wintertime the sun shone in and she loved the light. The reading nook was filled with modest treasures. In front was a commemorative chair from Brandeis University honoring my father's 37 years of service. On the couch was a bright woven textile from Mexico, brought back by a friend. The pole lamp dates from the late 1950s.
