A Great Find

I love finding something different. Something not everyone can get their hands on. Something that makes customers type their passwords wrong because they are trying to get it faster than anyone else;)
Well, I found one...and here it is:

Take a looky at this amazing antique Industrial Balance Scale. Both scale dishes and the base are solid brass. The center pole is solid heavy copper. This is one serious scale. It weighs about 25 lbs. It has absolutely no markings anywhere, but is in amazing condition for its age. She looks pretty good for 150 years old, huh? I was told t the auction where I bought it that it is from a button factory. Where buttons were weighed by the pound. It is still perfectly balanced. 

I truly love it and am so happy for the time we can spend together before her "Forever Home" scoops her up and she is out of my life. 

Who knows. Maybe to another button factory or seamstress shoppe? I can only hope. She is available at French Bleu Vintage now. If you have any questions about this beauty, ask away.

Shameless Shop Plug :)

So sorry, I had to do it. I reallyyy needed to update my page. 

http://www.frenchbleuvintage.com/item_1819/Rose-prints.htm

However, it was so late by the time I had a minute to sit down and actually do it, that my brain quit and I couldn't think of a single thing that I really wanted to post about.

                     So here it is.....

A new post completely devout to items in our French Estate Sale department that I cannot believe are still available.

Honestly, I would go on ~ but I'm starting to nod off at the computer:)
Tomorrow, I promise to put more thought into this whole blogging thing ~

Looking Forward

February is here again.

And with it, no Groundhog Shadow ~ so an early Spring? That would be most welcome in these parts. Especially with me. 

Vintage Nippon Tea Set

I'm already daydreaming about little bleu Forget Me Nots (hand painted on vintage china but still...)

and rambling "Wild Roses" (on Limoge dinner plates)

Rose kissed Vintage Stemware...

and even..

Flowery Vintage French Poetry books.

Yes, I cannot wait for Springs first warm breaths, although, it does seem like a lot of faith to put into 1 little groundhog.

Willow Ware Love

Classic Blue & White

                                         
                                                                         Or

Something a little bolder in ~ Red & White

I can never make up my mind which I like more. Both colors seem to be flying out out door at French Bleu Vintage just as quickly.

I wonder if it was made in any other colors? Wouldn't bright green be lovely...or purple...swooooon....

Now I've done it ~ I won't rest until I find some in a slightly less traditional color.

Wish me luck ~ 

And a very Happy New Year ~
