Hands up who loves chalk.

Just as I thought. We all love scraping and swirling these little lumps of calcite (or gypsum, nowadays) into words, shapes and designs. We simply can't resist scribbling on blackboards  - all that rebellious angst from school days, no doubt.

VivaTerra deserves to be top of the class for coming up with these fun and oh-so-practical chalkboard and reclaimed barn wood bins and organizers.

Since you're in charge of the labeling (stick of chalk in hand), the possibilities for use are limited only by your creativity. The chalkboards are also handy repositories for quick notes to loved ones, reminders to yourself, jotters for when you can't find a pen, and - let's face it - doodling. Buy some colored chalks - you're going to need them.

Class dismissed.
