Hello, Dear Ones.
You may remember seeing this vignette I shared at Marty's Cloche Party a few weeks back.
My new scale!!
Woo Hooness!
Now let me tell you about it.
I saw many of you had these scales and were having so much fun with them.
I felt so sorry for myself and cried, wept, sobbed and pouted.
I was a slobbering mess I tell you!
I did run across a few but alas, they were so rusty they couldn't come home with me.
Then when we were in Pennsylvania, my most gorgeous peepers spied this scale!
Almost perfect in condition and only $20!
This is for another post for another day! :)
I've put her back in the Fallen vignette until after Thanksgiving ~ then we'll play some more!
I just love this stuff!
I'm joining A Stroll Thru Life for Tablescape Tuesday
Be a bunch of sweeties, Shelia ;)
I'll leave you with a little Note Song~
In Heaven's Eyes
A fervent prayer rose up to heaven, a fragile soul is losing ground
Sorting through this earthly babble, heaven heard the sound
This was a life with no distinction, no successes, only tries
Yet gazing down on this unlovely one, there was love in heaven?s eyes
In heaven's eyes, there are no losers, in heaven's eyes no hopeless cause
Only people like you with feelings like me amazed by the grace we can find
In heaven's eyes
A restless child, a wayward father, a lonely traveler in the rain
When life goes on and no one bothers heaven feels the pain
Looking down, (Girls: looking down)
He sees each heart ache, (Girls: He sees the heartache)
He knows each sorrow, (Girls: knows each sorrow)
hears each cry (Girls: each cry)
And looking up, we see compassion's fire ablaze in heaven's eyes
In heaven's eyes, there are no losers, in heaven's eyes there is no hopeless cause
Only people like you with feelings like me amazed by the grace we can find
In heaven's eyes, there are no losers, in heaven's eyes no hopeless cause
Only people like you with feelings like me
And we're amazed by the grace we can find
In heaven's eyes!

I love your new scale Sheila and I'm excited to know that you found it in my original home state of Pennsylvania. My best bargains have been found there.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fabulous scale! I really like your pumpkin under glass! Very festive vignette for Turkey Day!
ReplyDeleteSmiles,
Carol
I love finding vintage scales. This looks great.
ReplyDeleteI am sure she is very happy at her Note Song home!
ReplyDeleteShelia, she is a beauty and your styling is spot on. I have had a rusty one for sale and no one has bought it which means I get to bring it home. Imagine Christmas ornaments on yours. xo, olive

ReplyDeleteShelia, you put together the prettiest vignettes, I must say! The scale looks so good all gussied up with a cloche cover. Now you're making me want one! I'll be on the look out for sure! XO
ReplyDeleteLovely scale, Shelia. They are fun to decorate. I scored a lovely one from Luckett's a couple of years ago from Miss Mustard Seed. Hope you are enjoying your week.
ReplyDeleteit looks so pretty all dressed up in its fall colors. She'll be very happy in her cozy new home.
ReplyDeleteWell when you finally found one, you definitely found a keeper - it's gorgeously awesome!! And I just can't wait to see what you do with it for Christmas, oh what fun you're going to have!
ReplyDeleteYour scale is perfect for you and you seem to be having a lot of fun with her! Hugs, Linda
ReplyDeleteYour new scale is beautiful, and what sweet granny squares!! xo Heather
ReplyDeleteI love your new scale, She. Love it! We had a blue (kind of turquoise) one when I was a wee She, and it's gone. Where? I don't know. But I can understand your woohooing over that cutie. It's great that it was rust free, and the price can't be beat!
ReplyDeleteI voted, did you??? I bet I know the answer to that!
XO,
Sheila
I love it, Shelia! I have been looking for the right one FOREVER! Just as you said, it can't be too chippy, I am definitely not in a farmhouse here! This is perfect, I'm happy for you. Great price, too! :)
ReplyDeleteXO,
Jane
Hi Sheila, Oh, I love your scale. It really makes a nice addition to your vignette. You know what?...you guessed it...I have one of these somewhere. I think over in the garage. I'll have to ask hubby to look for it for me (he'll love me for that). Thank you for your kind comment on my blog...hope your having a good day.
ReplyDeleteLove your new (olden) scale. It reminded me that I have one that was Bob's mother's. I need to get it out and play. Sally
ReplyDeleteShelia, I love your vignette! Now, I'm wondering where my kitchen scale is hiding!
ReplyDeleteShelia, what a great buy on that scale! I'm right there with you~coveting all of the blogger's scales, and now I'm coveting yours. It looks fabulous in your Fall vignette! laurie
ReplyDeleteFabulous that you found one and in great shape. Lots of fun to be had, be looking forward to it.
ReplyDeleteShe's just beautiful, Sheila, and she does a great job of showing off your pretty things! I would love to have one, too . . maybe one of these days!!
ReplyDeleteI want one...I love how you showed us different ways to use it. Who knew a scale could be used as a way to display things seasonally, love that! Thanks for sharing, sweet friend! XO ~Liz
ReplyDeleteWonderful scale! Absolutely worth all the crying and coveting. I can see that you have already found lots of great ways to decorate with it!!
ReplyDeleteBig Hugs,

Shelia,
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable scale! Seeing it in your vignette, I assumed you'd always had her. Love that she came home from a vacation with you...memories to recall! I adore each and every creative idea you've shown us...but I'm sure inspiration abounds @ Note Songs! I'll be keeping a close eye out for her in your future posts!
Fondly,
Pat
Love your new scale! Can't get over how great of shape it is in! And the color is so versatile ...can use that cutie anywhere! :)
ReplyDeleteIt's a true beauty, Shelia! Be glad you waited to find her!
ReplyDeleteBrenda

ReplyDeleteLove your scale, Shelia! I'm so glad you finally found one; and it's in great condition, and you got it at a great price! I know you are going to have a ball playing with it!
ReplyDeleteWho knew one could have so much fun with a weigh scale! It looks great Shelia. Can't wait to see what sits on it at Christmas. I hope you are having a good week. Hugs, Pamela
ReplyDeleteHi Shelia *hugs*
ReplyDeleteI can't believe you wanted it so badly that you actually got it in such great shape too! You should have bought a lottery ticket that day. Your vignettes are lovely...enjoy your scale delight.
Judi
It really is perfect and isn't it great to get something you've really wanted and do the little happy dance! Sweet Southern hugs, Diane
ReplyDeleteI love your arrangement and your new scale. Beautiful job!
ReplyDeleteI love that scale, I too, waited a very long time before I found one (green) at a garage sale... and I too, love that song... it so speaks to my heart... I'm your newest follower and rss subscriber.
ReplyDeleteI recently purchased my own kitchen scale. I love it and it adds so much character to my kitchen. I am visiting from Table Top Tuesday and am your newest follower. I am looking forward to reading more of your blog. It looks like it will be a terrific read! I hope you have time to visit me at Still Woods Farmhouse!
ReplyDeleteBlessings from Still Woods
She is a real cutie for sure.....and you were so lucky to find her!!!
ReplyDeleteOh...Shelia! I'd say your new scale is worth it's weight in gold. What fun you are having with your displays...even your crocheted blocks.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you found the perfect one for your beautiful kitchen.
Blessings and thanks for your sweet visit to my blog.
Carolynn xoxo
You are so funny! I'm glad you found such a nice one- I too would struggle with buying one that is too rusty! They do add a fun look don't they! You chose well and since you bought it on a trip it will always be a bit more special to you!
ReplyDeleteLove your scale. How fun. Great vignettes too. Thanks so much for joining TTT. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteSo happy you found you scale, it is quite nice. I have three scales right now, one very rusty but I love it cause it is aqua. Love you vignette and you will have fun playing with it in so many different ways. Thanks for stopping by and letting me know you liked my drop leaf table and chairs.
ReplyDeleteSheila, You found a great one! Have fun making more beautiful vignettes.
ReplyDeleteHow lucky that you found that beautiful scale at a great price, Shelia. I have one I use to weigh y packages and heavy letters. Love the vignettes you created...Christine
ReplyDeleteI love how you used your scale in the Fall vignette. Perfect!
ReplyDeleteOh my -- I look forward to seeing what you do with it every few weeks. You have so many ideas. I know it will just be beautifully decorated all of the time.
