As I was shopping last week for props for my photo shoots, I found this awesome German enamel wall pocket. It’s labeled to use for “oven cloths” but I thought it would make a nice holder for chalk and a cloth (eraser) for the new chalk board wall in my kitchen.

I’m quite smitten with it.  I just love it when you find the perfect thing you didn’t even know you were looking for!

I also recently purchased this brass stencil from one of the vendors at Lucketts.  I just thought it was cool, but wasn’t sure what I’d do with it.  On a whim, I hung it from the mirrored armoire in my office and it just works.  It almost looks like a tag from an auction or something.

I’m still working through my shot list, but I’m making some great progress and I have the bulk of the room shots behind me.

I still need to shoot my bedroom, which I’ve been stalling on because I still have some work to do in there (and laundry to fold.)  I will hopefully finish the photography in the next couple of days.  We’re also working through editing phase of the text and it’s going smoother the further we get into the book.  I think it took me a while to settle in the groove.

Thanks so much, again, for all of your encouragement and support!
