Simple Things

I love how even the simplest and most humble of things can bring beauty to our lives.  Like burlap for example, who'd have ever thought back in the day, that potato, grain and feed sacks would become the huge home decor trend they are today?

With my booth opening on May 1st and my family (including my precious 2 year old granddaughter) visiting just one week later,  I really haven't had much time for blogging lately.  So,  this is just a short, but sweet little blurb about a simple makeover to the humble bushel basket.  

Obviously once used for some sort of Christmas decor..... but it has definitely seen better days.




Just a little paint, a pretty fabric sash and of course, bling, is an absolute must!!

I like how the original red has bled through the white paint to give it a soft pinkish glow.  Happy accidents are just the best, aren't' they?!




Caio!!
