Vintage Monday: student slate chalkboard

Found this awesome old student slate chalkboard at the Knitting Mill on my last visit and had to have it immediately.  The wood is old and worn but still sturdy and I love the little lines across the slate.  I can just imagine how many letters and words were painstakingly written and practiced on this board.

We found a great home for this chalkboard in our little kitchen nook.  We just rearranged the prints and B put in two nails to secure the board as we expect to write and erase on it quite often.  It's perfect for making grocery lists or to leave messages for one another.  Here's something that B tells me every morning...(along with "remember your lunch")
