When Kim asked me if I’d write a post for The Studio|Online about 5 props I couldn’t live without, I knew right away that I was going to have a bit of fun with it. If you’re a member of the Studio, and saw it in the classroom, I hope you enjoyed it!
Today I thought I’d share two of the props I couldn’t live without; white crinkly linens and vintage jars. Oh, and I know I’m not alone in this … everyone loves linens and jars …
I also love the pink peonies I picked and dried last summer. Actually, I didn’t set out to dry them, I just left them in the jar until the water evaporated. I was about to toss them, when I stopped and thought about how much they reminded me of little ballerina dresses, all layered and frothy. I put them on top of my antique hoosier and that’s where they’ve been sitting ever since.
I processed this image in LR, adjusting exposure and cropping it. Then I applied one layer of kk_sybil at 50% opacity.
I’m linking up to Texture Tuesday at Kim Klassen dot com
So beautiful and I can’t believe how the peonies stayed like that. Yes, like a ballerina dress!
Ah, yes, a ballerina dress…so pretty! And Yes, to bottles, linen, old labels, something about the vintage look of bottles and labels that draws me in. Even the worn, cloudy glass. Yes, I loved your post and your props Barb!
Vintage jars, my love as well. I’m happy to see that I’m not the only one who leaves flowers out a little too long.
how much do I love these?
oh my… just beautiful…. xo
yup…linen and old jars and bottles…gotta love ’em…you make they look so divine…
Love the dried peonies–I’m going to have to try that. And your vintage jars and bottles!!! Love them too!

I’ve always had a thing about glass…my great grandmother had a curio cabinet that she kept all her good crystal, and glass ware in and I was always mesmerized. This is so beautiful!
Your peonies are beautiful dried. I am a big fan of old bottles and jars too, they are very photogenic.
Beautiful! I love those dried flowers! Can we ever have enough glass jars?
wonderful Barb! love everything in your picture, particularly the dried peonies (I’ve to try next spring) and the old bottles with labels… so vintage! I also love glass jars and bottles and cannot throw them away!
Beautiful jars is something I don’t want to miss either – as a prop or not. Such a lovely image – you’re right about the dried peonies and little ballerina dresses!
I love your gorgeous photo, so soft and lovely. The dried peonies are awesome. It was good to see you in The Studio today :)
I always love seeing other people’s photo props, it sets the wheels in motion. I particularly love Ball canning jars.
i too have a thing for vintage bottles. :) love your dried peonies too…ballerina dress…oh yes. so perfectly put.
Just beautiful. Your light is stunning as is your bottles.Loved
Beautiful display of your old jars! On a recent walk through the woods, I came upon a dump site that someone had been digging through recently. Several unusual shaped bottles and jars were tossed aside. Didn’t take me long to gather them up!
Wonderful collection of items. The flowers are beautiful.
Such a pretty photo Barb-I’m not sure if I could pick out just 5 props I couldn’t live without….food for thought though!
