ย Baskets

With chalkboard tags.

Baskets

At 52, I am finally admitting that I have issues. ย I love baskets!

Baskets

If I see a basket, cute, sturdy, small, large a little damaged, it doesn’t matter. ย 

It’s ok with me.

 

Baskets

I’m not a basket snob, I pick up

almost every one that I see.

Baskets

If it’s a little plain, I add some chalkboard bling.

I got this one on this day: ย thrifting with friends!

Baskets

If one handle is missing, I cut the other one off and add some rope.

Baskets

If it was surrounded by a little skirt, I ripe it off.

While I’m sitting at the red light on the way home.

I’m just curious, I want to make sure that I can refresh it.

It’s like getting fries at McDonald’s, I eat them in the car.

And I take fabric off baskets, before I get home.

Baskets

When I get home, I clean up the baskets, sit them on the deck.

While they dry, I create little tags with

Plaid paint and little wooden disks that I bought at Pick Your Plum

(on my sidebar).

I use a stamp and write one of my favorite words.

Baskets

I fill the basket with those checked napkins

and my latest silverware love.

Baskets

I almost forgot to introduce you to “Red”!

Baskets

Don’t you just love her!

She was painted with love by Mary @ Cotton*Wood Furnishing!

I thought about her for a week,

before I bought her.

I just could not get her off my mind!

and

Those baskets, and this chair how can I not

be

Be.Re.Freshed.

    1. I thought I was alone in my basket mania, but reading these posts made me realize I am not alone. Basket Lovers Anonymous anyone?
      The red chair is gorgeous.

    4. Baskets also comprise my most addictive collection after chairs. I have too many of both! I love the idea of adding rope if there are not two handles.

    6. LOVE that large basket! I bought one similar to it at an antiques store a few years ago for $100. Now it makes me feel queasy when I see/hear that other folks buy them for LOTS less than that. I’ve moved to a smaller house now and I can’t even find a spot for it. Love those cute tags you painted!

    8. Baskets are one addiction I haven’t succumbed to. I don’t know why. I see them in other people’s homes and love the, but I’ve never been bitten by the basket bug. Weird. Love yours and your RED chair!! Love me some red!

    9. I love the chair, but more than the chair – I love baskets, too! I have a small collection of Nantucket baskets, Shaker baskets, and Longaberger baskets – I’m not fussy – I’ll take any kind of basket!

      Enjoy the rest of your week, Debbie!

    10. Awww. Red is darling!! I can see why you had to have her. The baskets are sweet too. I sooo will be trying the rope handle idea ( just broke the handle on one of mine) Can’t say I have ran into a basket with a skirt though. Hmmm… must keep looking.
      Thanks for sharing Debbie ๐Ÿ™‚
      Cheers, Gee
