Eggs and butter go together nicely, wouldn’t you say?
That is what I thought!
My sweet mother, who loves to junk as much as I do, recently gave me this old metal egg scale. She bought it knowing that I love antique metal objects, especially those with a little rust around the edges. When I got home, I went from room to room trying to figure out just the perfect place to put the old scale.
For now, Mr. “Reliable” is holding his own with some vintage ironstone butter pats resting on his arms. Old pieces don’t need to be used for their intended purposes. Mix it up….eggs and butter DO go together, right?
And that’s the way it is……
Becky I love it. It really looks
ReplyDeletegood with your butter pats. I
have an egg scale but it doesn't
look like that. That one is very
unusual, I have never seen one like
that. Too Neat!!!":O)
I have one of those too. My husband's 99 year old grandmother used to sell eggs on her farm. I haven't figured out what to do with it yet either.
ReplyDeleteMy friend, you have an amazing gift to make all things come together beautifully!
ReplyDeleteGod Bless Ya,

Oh, but eggs and butter do go together. In fact, what doesn't go with butter? I love the egg scale. You always seem to find just the most precious items. Plus it's from your Mom, so that makes it all the more special.
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful piece! It looks perfect where you put it.
ReplyDeleteEggs and butter always remind me of making wonderful chewy cookies!
