tools of the trade.






i love good tools.






both my grandfather and dad were skilled carpenters.






they always had quality tools in their workshops.




calipers are SOLD

these lovely american calipers are a recent estate sale find.

i couldn't resist a little macabre humor
 in doing their photo.

this week i have been working on my display for the elkhorn flea market 
this upcoming weekend
it is going to be all about dr. frankenstein's laboratory.
~~~~~~~
beakers and lab glass
wire baskets
old black box cameras
industrial dials and gauges
mummified dressforms
spooky bottles * black boxes
and
some fun vintage store displays.

calipers available at anythinggoeshere.etsy
