My grandma always wore an apron around the farm. She would gather up the bottom and make a pouch to carry various things in it, including eggs. Very convenient.
Ah eggs.... I remember eggs. Those were the good days! (hello winter)
I have two baskets - one with a handle for collecting eggs, and a larger bowl-type basket for the kitchen countertop where they sit until eaten. I keep the collecting basket in the basement where all my chicken stuff is...
