Sometimes you can't settle on just one scale, so why not add a trifecta with some white as snow pitchers. We say the rustier, the sweeter the history. And let's not stop there. Add grandma's rolling pins, grater, and beater.

Beautiful! I would love to get a metal bucket similar to the one in the Rusted Bliss image but with lavender in it. Do you know where I can get something like that? The lavender will need to be fake because I can't seem to keep a plant alive! :) Thanks for the ideas, Linda!
