Today was my lucky day! I found another vintage scale to add to my collection.
It is heavy for a small scale! For now, I placed it inside my gathering basket that is sitting on the kitchen table and dressed it up for Autumn.
On one side of the scale, I placed a bird’s nest and put a pumpkin inside of the nest. All of the bird nests that I have, are ones that have fallen from trees in our yard. On the other side, I added a burlap wrapped candle. I just realized something….I forgot to add the Autumn tag that I made for the candle….ooops.
I draped a Harvest tea-towel that I made over the side of the basket. I also added another little basket inside and filled it with linen napkins and pumpkins.
I love the size of my gathering basket….it can hold a lot of stuff!
As always, thanks for stopping by and I hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Love it! REALLY love your "Harvest" tea towel! :) Do you mind sharing where you got your graphic from? I always enjoy visiting your blog ~ it's a bright spot in my day when you have a new post!
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you found another vintage scale!! I've only seen a few in our area and they were missing so many parts that they didn't even look like scales anymore!
ReplyDeleteLove your vintage basket with all its wonderful vintage treasures! That scale is fabulous.

Such beauties! Your decor is so pretty. You know, I never see scales around here. Maybe they've all found good homes? ;-)
