Apothecary jars...

What's not to love!?

We have an every growing collection at home, and I also use them a lot with flowers for events, especially in clusters for weddings.

As with most of the things I love and collect, the older, the better!

the great cutlery scavenger hunt!

Location: The Salvos,Tempe and Rozelle markets.

 

I can admit it.

Yes, I am OBSESSED with cutlery!

I will always stop at a flea market, garage sale or charity shop and rummage around in their odds and ends.

I'm never looking for matching pairs, always just looking for pieces that have a beautiful patina.

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!
