I haven't done much thrifting lately with lots of family goings on and getting ready for Junk Bonanza, but last week I stopped by a Goodwill and found this charming vintage scale! I love the graphic face, so different than others I've found! I added this little cutie to my kitchen, holding an old coffee tin...
I love the crackled patina of the tin...
and the vintage coffee sign I framed...
The antique milk glass fruit bowl is one of my favorites! From the late 1880's, it was made by Challinor Taylor and Co. We usually use it for bananas, but now it's holding some of this year's apples...
I think the little scale is a fun addition to my coffee corner!
Until next time...have a wonderful Labor Day holiday!

Your scale is such a great find, Linda! Glad you are keeping it for yourself:) Love your coffee corner, too!
I love your new scale, it is unusual, and very cute! I also love how you've created such a charming vignette with the tin, the milk glass, and the coffee sign! I hope you have a wonderful labor day too!

Scales are very popular in my area right now - they are flying out of the mall. Not very easy to find though. Love your vignette.

That is a great scale and I LOVE that coffee can! The coffee corner looks great.
Happy Labor Day to you too.

Hi Linda,
I missed a couple of your posts! Love your vintage scale, and the coffee tin looks very Swedish to me for some reason. Love the milk glass too. And your previous post on the lake was a nice read. Lake is low you say? Too bad. Hope you got some boat time in earlier!!!
I am so happy that Fall is making an appearance. It seems to have been a long summer for many!!

Such a fun looking scale & the milk glass....my favorite ...love the basket weave on the base!
What a terrific scale. Of course I am a sucker for scales of all sorts...Enjoy your find!
I've been on a bit of a junking hiatus lately, I think my accumulations were overwhelming me (temporarily I'm sure!) so it's this years apples that are making me drool in this post, ha!

I don't think I've ever seen that type of scale before. Great Goodwill find.
You always have great luck with vintage finds! Love your kitchen decor.
Thank you for visiting my this evening.
Wishing you a wonderful week!

Love your coffee corner and YES she is a cutie. Great find.
I've never seen anything so vintage and cute at our GW, what a great find! Love that milk glass too, amazing it's still in such good condition for being that old.
What a cute vignette...love the coffee tin!
Your sweet little scale is a wonderful addition to your coffee corner. I love that pretty tin.
You have the same coffee maker as we have. We had it for several years before something broke in the grinder part, plastic parts do that. It makes fabulous coffee, though, doesn't it. We grind our coffee before it goes in and it is still in use.
Hugs, Cindy
It looks like the scale and coffee can were meant for each other!!

Thanks for visiting my new blog and becoming a follower today! I just signed up to follow your blog as well. I love your scale. I have one in my kitchen too that is very old and heavy. I'm sure it will be making an appearance in future posts.
Thanks for telling me it's ok to reupholster new furniture, I just love you! :)
I have to say I am green with envy over your little scale. I have been looking for a YEAR for a scale and haven't found one anywhere! I'm sure I'll get lucky one of these days and find a cute one, yours looks wonderful on your counter! :)
Love ya lady!
