With two children of different sexes and different ages, we have a continuous stream of baby, toddler, child ephemera and associated crap that we are continually looking to sell. One option we use are car boot sales. Normally, I never look at other peoples' stalls as I still have a garage load of rubbish to shift. Today however, I had a stroll around and picked up the following:
I already have a skull of this design and used it photographing the Swedish Chef last year this one is concrete and obviously from a similar mould but slightly bigger. £3. They don't quite match due to the quality of the cast but its nice to have a matching pair. Apparently, he had sold 9 already today. Damn, I would have bought them all.
This rusty etagere cost £3 too. The football is to see how many pumpkins I reckoned I could feasibly fit. Six, maybe 7 UK sized pumpkins. Its a bit rusty but rubbed down, painted and covered in cloth, not a bad buy.
I think it was monstermash who used candelabras in her photos last year. They looked really good and left an impression. Haven't found anything remotely as good as hers but these cost £7 for the pair. They are too tall and very plain but again painted and aged with wax they may make a good background prop.

in the name of The Carver and the holey Gourd. Amen.
