   Great trendspotting. But I’m not going for it. I don’t remember school as a pretty place.

   8 year old Betsy: Let’s pretend we are in school.

   11 year old Brother: Okay!

   Betsy: (smiles ear to ear……. while setting up imaginary classrom)

   Brother: Let’s pretend I’m absent.

   Wow! Great collection of photos representing vintage schoolhouse. I LOVE the fan from Sears and the blue clock in the photo from Lovely Design. Go Green…Go Vintage!

    Henry-
    The chalkboard is still for sale but its a biggie, putting it on the boat might make it cost prohibitive.

    Dotty- The chalkboard is still for sale but it is so large that I think shipping costs would be prohibitive. Perhaps you live relatively close and can pickup?

    I live in Seattle, WA. I didn’t think to ask where you were from. Do you have any idea how much it would cost. I also have family in San Diego, CA. Thanks!

    Hey Dotty,
    I haven’t checked yet but will. I’m not even sure what shipper to approach because of it’s size. As soon as I find out I will let you know.

    Hi…I stumbled upon your website searching vintage chalkboards and read that there are people looking for a large chalkboard on a stand. I have one almost exactly like the one in the photo although mine may be older. I am interested in selling it. It is large and unable to be shipped however, if there is anyone who contacted you that live in my area that are still interested, would you give them my contact information? I live just outside the Memphis, TN area.
    I bought this for my nieces and nephews to keep them entertained while they visited me at my house. A chalkboard is fascinating to children. Anyway, they are all grown and moved away so I have no need for it now.
    I look forward to hearing back from you.
    BTW…I love your website!
