Hello there ....
just a bit of a random ... kinda off the wall post tonight ...
I've been waiting .. and waiting ... for a break in the rain to get some bright outside pic's of bits and bobs for ebay..
Well as you know ... if you are living in the UK .. there's been no chance of that ... very soggy wet here ...
So I gave up and decided I would have to photograph them in doors ... I had a play about to see what would work .... how could the item be best displayed .. I like to try and give a 'true' picture and description of the item.
I rolled out my 1950's hospital screen.
We have had a few of these ...so handy to screen off areas ... and we often take one to the car boot to use as a display stand .. and hang clothes for sale on it.
As an aside .... I thought the fabric on the screen looked a bit like a pineapple ... my healthy treat this week.
Anyway back to the 'Carry On Matron' screen ... this one has its original blue fabric covering .. I saw the very same ones being used in the 'Call The Midwife' programme ... exciting!
So I rolled out the screen ... Hubby P of course makes some silly comment ....'Ooooo Matron'....
so I quickly wrapped him up it the screen and made some silly suggestions myself ... he fled out of the door pronto ...!
It seems he didn't want to play Doctors and Nurses ...
shame ...
but it got him out of the way.
Free to wield the camera now ...
I scanned the hallway ... come dumping ground ... I'm sure most people have them ... its the bit we always hide when taking photos.
I espied some feet ... try and ignore the dust and muck ....
I'm afraid the top of the lady hasn't a head ... I just pop my hat on top ...
The mannequin is another unfortunate soul who has come to live with us ... I have draped her nakedness in an old 40's housecoat ... and she looks after my warm car boot coat between outings ...
I know it just looks like I have just thrown it around her ...
and I have ...
Like I said ... no frills today.
Back to the Hello Matron theme ....
I also have this old bathroom cabinet ... love its 'batteredness' ...is that a word?
and it is filled with all kinds of old medical supplies ... nothing lethal of course...
I just love all the old containers ...
just look at the Fullers Earth tin ....
they just don't make anything like it today .. its all horrible plastic.
And the lovely bottles ....
just love it all ....
not that any of it is 'useful' ...
But it makes me smile ...
What daily clutter greets you ... what makes you smile?
