It’s Thursday which means your weekly
dose of #thriftscorethursday
is on the docket. Today I’m hitting you with a vintage find, so hold on tight
folks!
First of all, I simply must let you in
on a little secret: you guys make
Thursdays my most favorite day of the week!! Seeing all the thrifty
inspiration… seriously, I’m crazy impressed.
Once upon a time there were these three lovely ladies who pride themselves on spotting the best thrifty pieces. They decided to join forces and ask their friends to join in the madness. That, my friends is how #thriftscorethursday was born folks!

I’ve simply must boast about my
favorites from last week:
Heart their photo or give them a follow here.
Seriously WOW. You best believe this
Medieval Times ice bucket would be a mighty fine conversation piece in any bar
or even on a bar cart!! Poor Debra from Eve Isle Studios
had buyer’s remorse, and I don’t blame her one bit!
Then, I harassed hustled @HeartsAndSharts enough that she
spewed out a few of her past thrifty finds:
Which lead to this beauty:
Check out horrifying it looked before here.
That’s one mighty fine Renaissance
chair! When I first laid eyes on that puppy I was immediately struck with envy.
I mean we have our own set of director’s
chairs, but just look at those curves! My my
how that sucka would have looked far better for our outdoor movie nights than
ours!! But then again, it didn’t have a twin, so it wouldn’t have worked for
us.
And now for my vintage find:
Heart the photo here.
I managed to find this Vintage Hanson
Nursery Scale (Model 3025) at the very back of my favorite thrift store. Sadly
it was $34.99 (too steep for my cheapskate self, so I passed) but I found them selling
online from places like Etsy anywhere from
$38-$125. Looks like it could have had a decent resale value. RATS! When
looking into the piece, it seems as though it hailed from Chicago during the
1920’s (depression era) and parents/doctors used it to track their baby’s
weight (obviously).
Eitherway, I think the vintage infant scale would be a great addition to any retro themed nursery. I could easily see it on a floating shelf amongst other vintage treasures. The teal and peachy colors are perfect for a boy or girls room.

Wow, that scale is just too cool! I'm with you on the price though... I would've had to walk away, even if it's worth more! Ooooh - but I just had a thought - wouldn't that be the sweetest prop for newborn photography?! That's it: I'll become a photographer to justify the "business expense" ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm about to run to the thriftscore to see if it's still there!! I know quite a few pregger ladies... You're a genius Brynne!!
