Mum's vintage scales are wonderful, but my shot doesn't quite do them justice. They need in a rustic kitchen setting with an old slab table, draped in linen or hessian cloth. We've had the cow bells for years. Found them on our farm in one of the old shearer's huts. The same one containing my dressing table (a dilapidated piece carefully restored by dad) that I hope to photograph soon. The things you find in the back paddock...
I can just imagine the sound of the cow bells - the gentle clanking as the cows graze in the fields, and the mooing. :) What a great find!
ReplyDeletemy mother has a set of vintage scales too. I like how you have photographed them in black and white and I love these cow bells.
ReplyDeleteThose cow bells are very cool Paula! Fantastic shots!

Some shots just call for b+w, don't they? I really like the scales, especially seeing the word "weigh" at the bottom. And I love the simplicity of the cow bells, the darks and lights, the texture of the table underneath. These are wonderful!
ReplyDeleteI love things like this, that have a history. p.s. I have tagged you over at mine - I hope you don't mind, you can ignore if you want to :)
ReplyDeletei enjoy metalwork and there's nothing better than finding it. we've found various bits and pieces around our land.
ReplyDeleteI need me a back paddock to explore it seems! Fantastic finds indeed. :)
