studio update


My vintage corner is proving great for photo shoots. Vintage war time issue maps picked up for a song. I love the nautical chart in the top pic!
I've been collecting vintage since my teens and had a good route round my loft, my dad gave me these vintage postal scales when they cleared out the old mill were he worked. Have to covert the weight but they are still pretty accurate so useful as well as decorative.
Remember the wall at the back here? Now painted with blackboard paint and seasoned with chalk and I love it! Helps section off the huge space, just need to practise my hand writing skills!
Couldn't resist buying this chalk from Labour & Wait, it's square so you can get a nice angle on the chalk plus I just love the vintage packaging and individual paper wrappings.

    The studio is looking absolutely beautiful - really love the blackboard wall! By coincidence I've just bought a kitchen blackboard from Labour & Wait which came complete with that chalk!
