I am so excited to share my new antique (Is that an oxymoron?) scale that Jon got me for Christmas! I apologize in advance for the pictures. They are not great. But back to the scale....Didn't he do a super job? I have been wanting a scale for quite a while. I have been drooling over some of the wonderful ones I have seen on some of my favorite blogs. A couple of months ago Jon and I were browsing in a wonderful antique store in Mobile when I spotted a terrific vintage scale. Jon encouraged me to buy it, but I didn't - I don't know why. I totally regretted not buying it on the spot! When Jon asked what I wanted for Christmas, I immediately thought of the scale (and an antique dog that I had spotted at another antique store - but that is another story!)
Bless my sweet husband's heart, he went back to buy the scale and it was gone! As luck would have it though - they had gotten another scale and he got it for me! I think it is perfect!
I love all of the imperfections. Isn't it fun to think
of the families who used this before me?
I think the vintage pyrex bowl looks great on the scale :-)
Another close-up. It blends so well with the granite. I am so happy with my new vintage treasure!
Next up, I will share with you my wonderful antique dog. It is precious! Thanks for visiting Buttercup Bliss!
This week I am linking to the following:
Come join the fun!!
Lisa, what a great scale! I was in Hobby Lobby today and they had all of their 'vintage' scales stacked out. Of course, they didn't have the patina of these true vintage scales. I love yours! What a great gift!
ReplyDeleteI love your vintage scale, and believe no kitchen should be without one!
ReplyDeleteThat is a really great scale. I love the graphics that say "American Family Scale." Very neat.
