What Else Did I Find?

Yesterday I posted a picture of the estate office at Lanhydrock with the question of how many prompts you could see in the picture for The Summertime Photography Scavenger Hunt. The ones I had in mind were No. 7 An Unexpected Reflection (of me in the picture as mentioned by Debbie), No. 12 Bell(s) ( a call bell for servants on the wall and an old fashioned telephone on the desk) and No. 13 Equal Portions ( the letter scales on the desk).



Maybe I am pushing the boundaries by choosing scales for Equal Portions but they definitely need to balance equally! There were lots of balance scales in the Lanhydrock kitchens each one with a particular purpose and also letter scales in the studies.  Take your pick!





Some are tidier than others.



Meat/ game scales?


The invention of digital scales may be more accurate but they have banished these beautiful scales from our houses.

    This looks like a great place to visit. Love it when places are furnished with original/period pieces. Great having so many finds in one pic. I couldn't find your reflection, then suddenly spotted it while looking for the bells!
