It's quite a huge undertakin'.<br /><br />We moved my little but spunky MIL into assisted livin' a couple weeks ago.<br /><br />God bless and have a most beautiful day sweetie!!!Nezzy (Cow Patty Surprise)https://www.blogger.com/profile/10175389676508928061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3635163323560816578.post-78090235258391523022011-09-20T11:24:12.216-04:002011-09-20T11:24:12.216-04:00Love it!

As you said, some people like to keep antiques in their original state, but I think the scale is extra special now. You will always think of your dear son and the time he took to make it special for you. What a treasure! Have a lovely afternoon!

I would have kept it the way it was, but I wanted to use it and it was in really really bad shape. It was completely rusted on the bottom. "The Pickers" probably would have liked it, it seems like the rustier something is the better they like it.Janet,https://www.blogger.com/profile/17796999156668844943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3635163323560816578.post-27727927425468060742011-09-19T12:41:06.162-04:002011-09-19T12:41:06.162-04:00Oh what a great find!

My husband brought an old lantern to me from an auction; I had planned to hang it in a flower bed, but it looks rather at home next to the old Singer. He also brought home cow bells!

I have an old scale all beat up but I leave it that way.
