I had been eyeballing this exact kitchen scale on Ebay for upwards of $40 so I was thrilled to come across one at Brimfield for $12.
And the white ruffles it's sitting on....... a square dancing skirt!

And oh YES...after some fresh laundering with OxiClean she's a perfect fit. I draped a scarf over the top to cover the opening of the skirt's waist.
This wash stand was my first purchase of the day. I'm using it as a bird bath/flower stand. I haven't as yet bought any flowers to adorn it but I inserted a serving bowl - placed a rock in the middle, filled it with water and within a few hours I had a couple of wrens make a visit.
When I spied this pediment, which is in two pieces, I was planning to use one of the pieces as a corbel under my kitchen counter - turns out it's too long.
That's okay though because I'm going to put it back together, paint it the color of our house and use it as a pediment over the front door.
My next post will be pictures of the things I didn't buy at Brimfield but liked enough to snap a picture or two.

Wow you got some nice things at Brimfield. I want to go! have to ask, is it a pain in the neck carrying the bigger things around with you when you shop, or how do you deal with it? Like that wash stand...just wondering.
Great finds!! I love the ruffled skirt,and the gorgeous wash stand.

Beautiful finds! I am so glad that birds love the bird bath, what a great piece! The ruffles are so pretty and I can't wait to see the pediment. :)
Diane,
I love how you always seem to find something "ruffled". Your finds are great, and what a nice price for that scale. Wish I could have made it to Brimfield, but hopefully in July.
Blessings & Hugs,
