Jessica and I have been in search of some good shelving units (as well as flat files & drying racks) for our studio space and today we took a little field trip to a local prop shop who was having a “going out of business sale”. Unfortunately for us, we didn’t find anything for the studio but we did find some more great logos on old machinery (as well as some other odds and ends).

If you’re in the Twin Cities Area and are looking for some power tools, doors, windows, or cases (and a lot of other stuff) this might be your place. Here are the details on the sale:

3 Ring Scenic
2637 27th Ave S, Minneapolis, MN, 55406
Thursday & Friday (July 15-16)
9AM – 5PM

And some random “finds” from inside it.

Even though we didn’t find anything for the studio, we did find some good inspiration. This piece in particular (below), although it doesn’t look like much, sparked a thought for a pattern that might show up in our first line. You never know where inspiration will strike and what form it will take!
