Back-To-School Vignette

We have a week and a half to go before school starts here and much to my boys' chagrin, I created a little back-to-school vignette. 

Of course, the pieces I used sadly can't be found in any classrooms today.

I have everything displayed on the vintage desk we have in the dining room.  The vintage cursive image is from the Graphics Fairy.  Everything else I already had in the house.

I added the vintage ink well and grungy Scrabble tiles to a cloche I have propped on a stack of old Bobsey Twins books.

I picked up the thermos last week at a garage sale.  There's a debate in the house as to whether the little salt shaker looks like a tomato or an apple.  It's actually a tomato but I'm using it as an apple.

I even found a French instruire (to teach, instruct) flashcard in my stash to display.

Sorry boys, but Mommy loves her little back-to-school vignette.
