Props

Last March I was so excited when an antique metal tool-box I had in my etsy shop was purchased by the props department of the show CSI.

See my past "Stage Mom" blog ...

And a few days ago some cute little canning jars were bought by a prop manager with an intriguing email address that has me thinking they may be heading to the set of Mad Men.Just think, these were all things that were basically discarded at a donation center for a thrift store or one step away at a garage sale - just about in the old dumpster -- then the next thing you know, they are being used on a Hollywood set of a big-time show. A twist of fate for a vintage thingy.

In case any other prop managers are looking for items for their sets, I have a few suggestions from my shop...

Stage Mom

I'm so proud, one of my little finds is headed for stardom in California.

This old metal child's toy "tool box" - hammer, saw and level included -- was purchased by the art director for CSI. Yes, C...freakin' S...I
Now I'm left wondering if my yard sale find will be part of a murder scene...will the victim be beaten with a mallet, jugular vein sawed, or bonked on the head with the level (that one does seem pretty far fetched).

Or, will this old metal box be a part of the background in a scene in an antique shop or the home of a homicidal vintage toy collector...I am so curious!

I'm going to have to watch every CSI episode now and scan the background for this fun old metal toy. I'm such a stage mom.
