2nd Time Around: Estate sale scales

Welcome to 2nd Time Around. Please join us by linking a post that features something that is a 2nd Time Around to you…something from a garage sale, flea market, thrift store, estate sale, etc.

This balance scale is one that came from an estate sale a few years back. Last year, I used it in the fall to display the ceramic pumpkins everyone was buying from the Dollar Tree. I’ve also used it to display small potted plants. It’s one of my favorite estate sale pieces.

2nd Time Around: Garden Finial

This is a finial that I bought recently at an Estate Sale. It had a piece that broke off as I was getting into the car, but was easily glued back together. It is actually pretty light weight, but looks heavy.

2nd Time Around: Planters for the porch

Welcome to  2nd Time Around. Please join us by linking a post that features something that is a 2nd Time Around to you…something from a garage sale, flea market, thrift store, etc.

I bought these two matching planters awhile back at a garage sale. The first picture shows one with my Southern Living at Home trellis behind it. I intended to buy another one for the other planter, and found out the other day that this piece had been discontinued. So, I guess I’ll have to try EBAY!

One reason I haven’t shared them til now is because I intended to spray paint them….but I’m not sure I really want to. What do you think?

I apologize for ‘forgetting’ about 2nd Time Around last week! Guess it was because of the Labor Day holiday!
