Hello everyone!
I hope you're having a good weekend so far. I woke up to storms this morning, but it is finally clearing up and the sun is shining. Love that.
I wanted to show you this cute vintage scale I found at an antique store recently. I had been eyeing the bigger size scales, similar to this, but didn't really have a place for them in my home. So, when I found this smaller size, I knew I could use it!
I love that it is made from iron and covered in porcelain. It has a pan on one side.
And a flat metal piece on the other side.
I wonder what it was originally used for. Anybody know?
I placed it on the chest in my foyer.
And filled the pan with my lavender sachets and a little pumpkin on the other side.
I love how it is worn in some places too. This would also look cute holding a small potted plant in the pan. I'm sure I will have a lot of fun using this piece!
Thanks for stopping by.

I don't know what it was used for, Kelly, but I'll bet some dealer will know. It is a really cute piece and a GREAT size. I am so glad you found it. xo Diana
I have, seriously, been looking for something just like that. It is the perfect scale (in size, shape, and color). It looks nice in your foyer with the little pumpkin.

It's a good thing we weren't in that antique shop at the same time, because you would have had to arm wrestle me for it! I love the small size and it fits perfectly where you've placed it.
It was used to weigh body parts during autopsies.
Just kidding - a little sick Halloween humor. :o)

What a great find! You are right - scales tend to be large. Yours is perfect. :)
Love your little white scale!! I'm not sure what it was used for. I have a large white one and found out that it was used to weigh and measure the length of newborn babies.

This is terrific, Kelly! I love how you have it on the cabinet. I've been looking FOREVER! Lucky you to find the perfect one!!

There is absolutely NO QUESTION that scale was meant to be in your home. It's perfect in every way. The size, the color, the overall look and feel of it reflects so much of what your home is about. Love it!!
Love your scale...what a great find!
If I had to guess, I'd say it was used in a candy store or at the candy counter of a department store.
So cute ~ I love the size of it. So many possibilities for decorating!
Kelly, I just love your decorating style...your vintage scale is so great!It looks so cute with the little pumpkin for fall.

What a great find! I think yours is the perfect size. I like how you've styled it with the pumpkin and lavender sachets. Perfect! You'll have fun displaying lots of different things on it throughout the year. :)
What a charming little scale! I've never seen one quite like it! I have an antique baby scale that is precious to me too. :) Have a blessed Sunday!
i think it might be a flour scale. it looks a little like this one http://www.pinterest.com/pin/217439488232564037/ .

Fabulous find. It looks like something you'll have fun using over the years.
A great find Kelly! I love that it's on the small side. Yes! You will have fun with it :-)
