These beauties really caught my eye last week while I was out and about prop hunting.

So much so that I bought lots of them!

These pics were taken at the Prop Stop. 

It is a treasure trove of kitchen paraphenalia that is invaluable when I have food shoots. 

I can potter around ummming and aahhhing about possibilities for hours!It is a very inspiring space....

I always have my eye out for vintage kitchen utensils to use as props for my food styling.

They appeal to me because of the sense of warmth and authenticity they bring to a shot.

treasure trove in the country...

Location: Lucknow, NSW

 

This big shed is in the tiny village of Lucknow, just outside Orange in the Central West of NSW.

It is packed to the rafters (literally!) with all sorts of delectable treasures.

If you have a chance to pop in I can guarantee you will always find lots of bits and bobs to inspire you!

I love a collection, a vignette. (Dragonfly is an ever changing landscape because of this LOVE!) 

One of my favourite things to do as child/teenager was to move around my knick knacks on the huge bookcase which Dad built to cover a whole wall in my bedroom.

We now have an old, "reconditioned" chicken coop at home (see pic) which we bought a few years ago from Doug Up On Bourke in Waterloo.

It has 6 "chicken-keeping-compartments", the perfect sized spaces for putting all my treasures.

Oooh look at these beauties that I saw yesterday afternoon as I was out and about propping for a client.

These were at The Country Trader in Waterloo.

They're old cloches used by a perfume house for fragrance testing. Lift the lid and sniff!

I am still trying to work out an "angle" so I can propose them to my client. Thinking cap on....
