In case you haven't noticed I love reusing old things in new ways, or in this case the way it was meant to be. My wonderful husband went to an auction yesterday and picked up these little goodies. The auctions items were from an old grocery store. He managed to get an old produce scale and 15 crates.
I'm really excited about the produce scale. Although it is huge, it fits perfect in our little kitchen. It will sure come in handy. We used it to weigh the honey the beekeeper gave us from our hives. Thirty five pounds of honey is a jackpot in my book.
It is funny how something that sat unused for a long time can be brought back to life. Do you have any auction finds that you found particularly useful?
Oh I LOVE that scale and what a great lot of honey I do wish I lived closer.
ReplyDeleteI love the way you scattered and used those crates through your house. I like them.
I do think I do not have to answer the auction buying and my using to you do I? I am pretty sure you have seen it all the past two years my friend :) B
Oh, lucky, lucky You! Those old crates look great in your house, right at home. And they're still in excellent shape. Love the old scale too. I love to reuse things as well.
ReplyDeleteBonnie, they look like the crates and scale have belonged in your house forever. I love reusing and recycling; it's a challenge I take on gladly. XOXO
ReplyDeleteThose crates are really cool! I love the decorating in your house! The scale is a nice find, too!
ReplyDeleteI Love those old crates, and the way you've used them in your house. What a great idea to use the sled, too...love the look! I have some old crates that I got at a family auction, but they're not in such nice condition.
ReplyDeleteWow, you really hit the jackpot! I love the old crates. I used to have a few and have regretted their loss, I'm not sure what happened to them. I like the way you have them set up in the corner. I think they are perfectly placed now!
ReplyDeleteHello....wow!!!! great auction buys....love the scale, looks wonderful in your cozy kitchen....also you did a great job decorationg with the old crates....love the old sled,looks so good with the crates....I don`t go to auctions any more, never get want I want,LOL....Blessings Francine.
ReplyDeleteThat scale is fabulous....as is that moose antler (horn?)
ReplyDeleteBonnie, I think you missed your calling, you should have been an interior decorator. You have wonderful ideas. Crates look great. Scale is cool too.
ReplyDeleteWhat great finds, scales are so useful and better yet when they have such appeal, and those crates. Well, you have been busy putting them to more practical use. I love them all and especially the corner shelving you made. Is the Acorn a cookie jar? and I have one of those whiskey barrels but ours had a German beer in it., a novelty item. I wonder where it is since Bill cleaned out the basement crawl spaces. hmm. The sleigh is a real gem.
ReplyDeleteLove your comfy home.

What wonderful finds! I love the scale and the crates look fantastic they way you have used them throughout your home. I especially like them with the greenery.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE your style!! You somehow made the crates look like they should always be tucked into a living room or anywhere else.
ReplyDeleteLOVE the scale in your kitchen. Perfect. Your kitchen looks delicious.
Yes, the pumpkins are amazing and they're so creative with them. I am glad you enjoyed them!
