It was an incredibly crazy-thrift-filled weekend. It began on Friday with a farm estate sale over in Napa, another barn estate sale in Santa Rosa on Saturday and then Alameda Antiques by the Bay flea market on Sunday. There are weekends where I purely love my thrift filled life!
These two photos features a fab vintage scale that I bought on Saturday.
The pillars of the scale are cast iron. It weighs a ton and is very large but I had to buy it. I'm not quite sure what to do with it yet but I'm excited about the purchase. It also came with a solid wood and iron platform that I'm going to make into a coffee table.
These baskets fit into this very cool vintage store display that came out of an old store in the Rincon Valley in Santa Rosa. I arrived at the sale early in order to be able to get this. I ran straight for it and slapped my Sold sticker on it. I'm going to place it in my space at the Antique Society and use it to sell small items but also offer it for sale. (I think......I'm considering keeping it too)
This was also from the Barn sale and I'm pretty sure it was a fixture in the old store. It's my aqua blue so already it's pretty well perfect. It's going to be used as a fixture in my space.
Alameda was a wonderful day out. I sold so many of the big items that I took there. It's very satisfying to drive home with a much emptier van. Plus I was able to shop while Dave looked after the sales. I bought 2 Mod hanging lamps, a teak bar cart and 3 table lamps. I'm so enjoying this new venue for ReSelling.

Wow-those are great pieces.I could totally see that scale as a display for jewelry or scarves.Can't you just see necklaces or bracelets attached to the horizontal bars?
Those display pieces are neat.I hope you take a picture of them in your space and share.You have such a good eye.

Wow those finds will be just amazing for display, I can see why you grabbed them. I hope you don't mind me linking up two posts - my last thrifted finds and also the swap I'm hosting. If it's a problem please delete the second link, but it's all about bloggers sending each other second hand finds for Christmas and is open world wide.

Jeg tror, at dit perspektiv er dyb, dens bare velgennemtænkt og virkelig fantastisk at se nogen, der ved hvordan man kan sætte disse tanker ned så godt. Great job på dette
din blog er meget good.It var meget godt forfattet og let at forstå. I modsætning til andre blogs jeg har læst, som er virkelig ikke godt. Jeg fandt også dine indlæg meget interessant
