I'm so pleased to have introduced some of you to wall pockets from my last post. Now when you're out and about and see one ~ think of me! :)
Okay, today I'd love to show you a little something I found on our trip to Florida ...
an olden scale! Isn't she pretty? Now I really don't believe she's very olden but she is just the cutest thing and when I saw her it was love at first sight! You know how it goes.
Look at her cute face with all of the foods around the dial. I have thought about painting her yellow or red, but we'll see.
She is practically just perfect. No rust or scratches. Do I care that she is not olden? Well, no no Nannette, I do not care. I really don't like those that are so so rusty.
Okie dokie...it was Mr. Precious and my anniversary last week ~ 41 years, and he bought me some beautiful roses. They were wilting their gorgeous little heads so fast and I went to check on the water level. Guess what? Mr. Precious had grabbed a vase and poked the long stemmed roses into it and didn't add any water!! That boy! So I got my scissors and started chopping off the steams and poked them into that gorgeous little Jadeite pitcher you're seeing here and added water! Don't you just love my little pitcher?
So I began to set up this little vignette for my kitchen counters and grabbed this cute little pitcher for melted butter to pour over your pancakes. Yum, wish I had a couple of those little buttermilked rounds right now! :)
So there you have my little vignette in the kitchen for now. New Scale, fading roses, Jadeite pitcher, butter pitcher and a few ruby red strawberries tossed in for some yumminess.

Be a bunch of sweeties,
Shelia ;)
I'll leave you with a little Note Song ~
Love (Can Make You Happy)
And the smell of flowers blooming fills the air.
Your mind is filled with the thoughts of a certain someone - that you
love;
Your life is filled with joy when she is there.
Love can make you happy if you fine someone who cares
To give a life time to you and who has a love to share.
If you think you've found someone you'll love forevermore,
Then it's worth the price you'll have to pay (pay).
To have, to hold's important when forever is the phrase
That means the love you've found is going to stay.
Love can make you happy if you find someone who cares
To give a life time to you and who has a love to share.
La-love, la-love
Love can make you happy.
Love can make you happy.
Love can make you happy.
Love..

Lovely arrangement Sheila! It sounds as though your hubby needs a flower arranging class! You made a great rescue of them though. Congratulations on your anniversary and best wishes for many more happy years together for both of you! xx
ReplyDeleteHi Sheila1 I was at Goodwill this morning, just looking around and I did see a wall pocket and I did think of you! It was the first one I've ever noticed at the thrift store so it was a funny coincidence. It was an old-fashioned pitcher and bowl (like you'd keep on a washstand) and it was plain white, not nearly as interesting as yours.
ReplyDeleteI love the pitchers, and scale, AND the roses!!! Beautiful vignette!
ReplyDeleteWhat a pretty vignette! Happy Anniversary to you and your hubbie!
ReplyDeleteThe roses are beautiful and the scale is just charming. Great new purchase.
ReplyDeleteLove, love, love,the vignette! Jadite and red roses! Just beautiful! Happy Anniversity to you and your Hubby! May God bless you both with His Joy today and with many more! Christie
ReplyDeleteI saw a few wall pockets yesterday while I was out shopping...and thought of you! I also saw Roosters and thought of you. Gorgeous vignette...love the scale and the pretty roses. ♥
ReplyDeleteGood thing you discovered the missing water on the roses before it was too late! They sure are pretty in that Jadeite pitcher. I like your new scale with the fruit etc. on the dial. Have a good week!
ReplyDeleteOh Shelia, I love your vignette. Your scales is gorgeous and such a pretty pitcher too. Thanks tons for linking to Inspire Me. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary to you and your hubby! Your roses now have a vintage look. Lol I love the scale and your cute little pitcher for butter. Have a great evening. ♥
ReplyDeleteAw...thank you, Martha Ellen! Hope you're having a great week.
DeleteBe a sweetie,
Shelia;)
Lovely Little vignette Shellia, I love, love it! I love your new and not rusty scale too. I should acquire one, they make such a statement in a kitchen. The pitcher with the red roses is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
FABBY
HAPPY ANNIVERSARY and many more!!!!

Love both those pitchers, Shelia! That scale brings back memories. Thirty years ago when I first met my hubby he was in business with his Dad. They used a scale just like that to weigh packages. It is long gone now, but I'll never forget what it looked like!
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary! I love the scale and your vignette. xo
ReplyDeleteThat scale sure is a "cutie"....love the artwork on the "face"....and I heart, heart that jadeite pitcher!...I collect jadeite and do not have that great pitcher!...Fantastic finds!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary to you! I have a scale just like that in my antiques booth! Sure you didn't find it in Mobile?
ReplyDeleteHappy anniversary, we're 41 years married too. It doesn't seem that long looking back, does it? Your roses look lovely in the little jug - a nice romantic gesture, even without the water in the vase.
ReplyDeleteblessings,
Diana
Beautiful roses for your special anniversary. I do love the scale and red would be so pretty! Always fun to see your Jadeite pieces.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful vignette - love the scale. Happy Anniversary and the roses are so very pretty. Mr. P meant well, you know how guys are about some things.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week.
Mary
Happy anniversary!!!! xo
ReplyDeleteMmm you've got me wishing for hot pancakes! Your vignette is so pretty. Love all the colors together. That scale is perfect!
ReplyDeleteWe had a similar scale in our kitchen when I was a kid in the 60's. I think Mother got it with S&H Green stamps. Do you remember those? I love yours and how cute it looks with the roses and little butter pitcher next to it. Lovely, Shelia!
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary to you- I wonder how many of today's marriages will last that long? xo Diana
Happy Anniversary! We are close behind you, soon to celebrate 39. ;-)
ReplyDeleteLike your new find!
Happy Anniversary sweet lady! I love your vignette and you are so right the scale is soooooo fabulous, as are the strawberries. Love the jadeite pitcher and the roses look rather well.
ReplyDeleteHave a blessed day, Ginger
Love your new things - beautiful grouping, sweetie! HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! I just love long lasting marriages, such a rare thing these days. Whoo hoo.
ReplyDeleteBTW- don't forget: when you go to bed at night put any cut florals you may have been lucky enough to receive (or buy for yourself) in the refrigerator while you sleep. Get them out when you wake. They - along with cutting stems and changing water every single day will keep your cuttings much longer. ♥
Hugs.
Love your scale and the measuring cup too! Happy Anniversary, so happy for you!!!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Cindy
Happy Anniversary! Aww, what a sweetie to get some pretty roses from your hubby! ,Glad you found out they needed some water! Your scale is great find and love your vignette, it's adoraable! Shelia, I'm crazy about that little butter pitcher too!
ReplyDeleteHappy Day, sweet Shelia~
Nancy

ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary.... yall are so cute together/
big hugs
That scale is darling ! And he was just doing it backwards...first you put the water in and they later you dry the roses not the other way around, lol! :)
ReplyDeleteOh how cute is that scale! Happy Spring Sheila.
ReplyDeleteHappy anniversary! (((((((BIG HUG)))))))
ReplyDeleteRemind your handsome husband that, unlike wives, roses cannot survive on love alone.

Hi Shelia, I love your scale. My mother had the same scale when I was growing up. What a darling vignette and that little butter pitcher is too sweet. Gorgeous Roses and had to giggle about the water!!! Happy Anniversary and many more wonderful years together. We will hit our 41st in August!!
ReplyDeleteHave a great Wednesday.
Hugs!!
Happy Anniversary and love that little cup. How did they read the measurments though?
ReplyDeleteOh I almost forgot, one year I gave my Mom a silk orchid for Mother's day, it lookes so real, she watered it. Then realized, when all the water leaked out that it was silk. hahhaha
ReplyDeleteWhat cool finds you got there! Love the scales too! Wish I could run up on some like that! One thing is for sure...when browsing around you never know what you will find! Have a great day. Hugs and blessings, Cindy
ReplyDeleteLove the scale! I wonder why it is metric if it is American? Maybe it was made for the Euro market. The foods look American. Do you know anything about it, like who made it? At any rate, great find.
ReplyDeleteOooh, roses and strawberries make me think of romance, but you pulled off a homey feel with it Sheila! Love it!
ReplyDeleteAdorable vignette...I love roses AND strawberries ane their lovely red gorgeousness made it pop! That scale is so cute and like you, I wouldn't care if it was old or not! :) I will definitely think of you if I happen to see a wall pocket...I have seen those little things before but didn't know they had a a name!
ReplyDeleteThe scale is so cute!! Love your jadite pitcher and yes the Roses look gorgeous in it! Cute vignette as always. I love when you go poking things here and there! You always bring a smile to my face!
ReplyDeletehugs, Linda
Happy Anniversary!! Darling vignette....and please don't paint the scale!!!!
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary to my sweet sister and her treasured hubby.
ReplyDeleteGuess what! I had a kitchen scale exactly like that, and I sold it while I still lived in Florida. Maybe you have the one that once belonged to me. lol I got mine in 1973, so it is pretty old. That must have been the year you were married.
Happy Anniversary Shelia! I'm one year ahead of you. Funny story about the roses and no water!!!
ReplyDeleteLove your vignette and new scales. I like the jadeite measuring cup and that you used it as a pitcher.
I have to read your last post to see what a wall pocket is. Somehow I missed it!
That scale is fabulous! I wish I'd seen it first! And Happy Anniversary -- 41 years is a lot of love!
ReplyDeleteDon't you dare paint the scale. They don't make em like that anymore. Love the measuring cup too. I've never seen on like that. Adorrrraaable!
ReplyDeleteLove the scale. If you leave it white you can use it with different thing . I can't believe I am saying this ,but I have never thought to put melted butter on the table when I make pancakes. I have been living under a rock. LOL
ReplyDeleteGreat find! I love that sweet butter pitcher, sooo cute!
ReplyDeleteHappy anniversary!
Hugs,
Patti
Happy belated Anniversary wishes! That was nice of him to give you the roses- good thing you noticed they had no water. Well I guess they were on their way to being preserved roses! The jadeite piece is really uniqe and the scale is cute! I like how it was made to look old fashioned. Cute vignette -I'd go yellow if I painted the scale :-)
ReplyDeleteLove can make you HAPPY!!! That's 4 shore. Blessings to you and may you have a sweet Spring.

Forty one years is just wonderful and means lacking H20 in roses is nothing honey. Lovely arrangement.
ReplyDeleteShelia,
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary, dear friend!!!
I love, LOVE, L O V E the contrast of the red roses in the Jadeite pitcher!
Your new scale is adorable, too!
Hm~m~m. . .I'm thinking Sour Cream Pancakes for breakfast, now that I've seen your little butter pitcher! YuMMy!!!
Fondly,
Pat
LOVE this vignette Shelia!!
ReplyDeleteLove the scale and roses Sheila!
ReplyDeleteHappy Anniversary! Love, love your scale and vignette. Beautiful! Enjoy your weekend. Maria
ReplyDeleteYou mentioned to me in a comment that you had the same scale as I do -- how fun is that! Mine is missing the clear face cover, but that doesn't matter to me one iota. I had never thought about painting the body, but I kind of like it being white. That jadeite pitcher is so sweet and is perfect for those roses. Happy belated Anniversary (I'm pretty sure I commented on FB). We will be celebrating 45 in June!
