How Much Does A Snowball Weigh?

I can tell you because look at what I found at an auction……

002 

Yep an antique kitchen scale.  On New Years Day, Charlie and I went to an antique auction and I was the lucky one who came home with it .I have been wanting one for sometime now and I couldn’t be happier.

Now that  Christmas is all packed away, I’ve been having fun creating winter vignettes and my new find fits perfectly.

Although Christmas has passed, these snowballs won’t melt until spring.

    It's a beauty!! I have one but it's not nearly as nice looking as yours. I really like the snowball vignette.

    I love the scale. My Mom found one for me a couple of months back, and I love it. Yours is great!

    Love your snowballs, Gail! Now that my apothecary jars and cloches have been emptied of Christmas ball ornaments, I was thinking of doing "snowballs" in them. I love these and I love the vignette you made with the scale.
