My two treasures.....

I've have two treasures I've bought this year that I just love.

Both have little stories to go with them.

 So sit back and I'll share.....

Once upon a time (when I lived in Illinois) I bought an antique scale.

The price was very good, $12.00 I think.

It was beautiful and I loved it.

Then one day the top broke off.

This was before I knew blogging existed.

I had never heard of epoxy.

So I.....

Well I......

I threw it away ~gasp!~

I THREW IT AWAY! ~sob~

I feel like such a dummy!!

I recently decided I need to put the past, in the past, and move on to the future.

 So I've bought an antique scale off Ebay.

 She's rusty and curvy and I just LOVE her!

I'm a happy girl!

All's well that ends well!

I found this beautiful candlestick at an antique mall.

For some strange reason I didn't buy her.

I was getting other things that day and I guess I just felt I had to draw the line somewhere.

Of course I couldn't stop thinking of her.

I was kicking myself for not bringing her home.

When I went back to the store she was gone.

Of course.

Except it turns out she wasn't gone.

Many months later I returned to the store.

She had been placed in a different spot, way up on a high shelf.

And now she is mine.

We are living happily ever after. ;)
