Another addition to my prop collection.

When I started this blog I confessed that I was rather obsessed with collecting  props for my food pictures and I have many a tale as to where and how I have come in possession of these cute beauties. Today I am going to share some of  my new additions in the collection.

The two little bowls with the intricate pattern on them were a gift from a friend who recently came over for lunch.She like others knows about my obsession  for props and gifted me these cute bowls as thank you gift for cooking lunch for her.She tells me she got these in a Indian utensils store whilst  shopping and immediately thought of me and promptly purchased them. I dearly love friends like this :).
The bowls are silver in colour, the smaller one has a copper band with an intricate pattern inlay and the slightly larger bowl has a silver band with a similar intricate pattern around it. Both the bowls have an inner decorative pattern too and are really eye catching. I have used the smaller pot with the copper band in my photo for the Date and Nut Barfi.

 The antique gold pot featured below is another find from another charity shop. Sadly it is rather tarnished and does have a couple of dents in it but I think that adds to the charm of it. I am looking forward to featuring it in one of my recipe posts soon.

The spoons, these were an impulse purchase from ebay, although when I purchased them the size looked a lot bigger in the picture but when I received them they were miniatures!!! Despite their mini size I love them and they will look great with pictures of condiments or miniature ethnic desserts. They go really well with the bowls featured above.
