I am participating in Sue’s Rednesday post.
Thought I’d share this little red postal scale. They are fun pieces to use in a vignette as you can elevate the display by putting something on top, like this sweet bird that my friend Kathy Sue gave to me.
A thought for today:
Our happiness depends on the habit of mind we cultivate.
So practice happy thinking every day.
Cultivate the merry heart, develop the happiness habit,
And life will become a continual feast.
~ Norman Vincent Peale
note: Blogger has a new "search this blog" feature. I think this is wonderful and have added it to the top of my blog. The other day a reader emailed me asking for the caramel recipe I had posted ages ago. Now all you need to do is enter the word (ie: caramel, or whatever) and it will link you! voila! love it!

Hi Becky! Your little bird is so sweet and the postage scale is too. I love that quote by Norman Vincent Peale. My Mom is a great fan of his and has saved many of his pamphlets. She used to read them to me when I was young. Thanks for the blogger tip! What a great feature. There are many blogs that I enjoy, like yours and it's fun to go to older posts. It's a bit like browsing through old beloved magazines. Happy Rednesday!!
Love,
Susan and Bentley

Hi Sweetie,
I'm makin' the rounds again, it's been a while so I had to come and see how you are doing. Cute little scale and the bird also.
Do you live near the Redwoods? They just fill me with awe every time I see one. Such a wonderful place to be.

The little postal scale and bird are adorable! And I loved your saying. I added it to my journal book I keep with verses/sayings in it. Hope you had a happy day!!! Love & blessings from NC!
Very lovely!!

for your readers.THANKS.:o)
They look perfect together! And I just love that house from your previous post, too!
Beautiful blog... You are a great inspiration. Blessings...
Becky, what sweet little vignette items the scale and birdie are! And the quote is food for thought, that's for sure.
hugs, Sue
Becky,, how sweet that picture looks. I knew that bird would find a new spot at your home. Great quote to. You always have a great post and I love the way you can get to things faster to go back to our favorites. love to you dear sweet friend. love Kathy Sue
Do you know that there is now research that shows that happiness really does spread?....that a happy household has a positive effect on the households around it.
That little bird belongs atop that fun vintage scale!!!! I really like the quote you have, I think that is 100% true! I am going to check out the new blogger idea!
What a cutie that little bird is!

Ehat a cute display. I've loved following your blog for a long time. Your house is beautiful.
Love that quote. Truly a way to live your life. Your scale is adorable. Love your inspiration home from the last post. Just beautiful. Mimi
Hi Becky, I love your "TWEET" bird and the red postal scale he is perched on! Your vignette is so darling, I have never heard of Rednesday. Now I have to join in that party, I'm in trouble now! See you at the next Rednesday, hopefully!
Hugz,
Kim
Awe! Tweet Birdie, and sweet thought! Why is it so hard to automatically be happy? Doesn't it seem silly that we even have to be told that?
Love that new feature.... very useful.
~Liz
LURVE your little birdie! Oh my stars, it is adorable and perfect for the red post!
Like air mail! Too cute!
I've been looking for a scale similar to that. So many I see are too big or too expensive. Your is just right, and the little bird is precious. Loved that quote. laurie
Great quote and my favorite color!!
Love you gal,
Lynn
I love your little red scale & the quote! It does make a wonderful addition to your vignette.
Blessings,
