Wall Basket Makeover

Hi Friends!
 
I found this vintage wall-pocket type basket at the Thrift Store for a good price. 

 
 It was lined with zinc!

 I was excited to see if it would hold water

so I could fill the basket with fresh flowers ....sadly it leaked so I changed my plans.
 
 
 I decided to white-wash the basket with chalk paint.
 
 
 
 
Just add water to your paint.
 


I added 2 stems of Lavender and Lambs' Ear that I purchased from Dollar Tree.
 
 
 
 
 
 
I hung it on the window but it needed something.....

 
I tied a piece of antique ribbon around the middle and tucked in a

seed packet....
 

 
It was okay.... 
 


 
 
I printed this postcard from the Graphic Fairy.
 
 
Tucked the postcard in the antique ribbon.
 
 This was my favorite look.
 
 
Which look do you like? 
 
I am happy how it turned out. It reminds me of May Day!
 
and May Day will be here before you know it-
 
Thanks for hanging out today!

  4. This is adorable - I love how it turned out! My mom actually has something similar in her house, but she definitely paid much more than you on it. Thanks for sharing!

  6. It's lovely! I remember my mother having a similar basket, although not as high as yours. I'll have to ask her if she still has it, as this looks like a great (and easy) way to decorate for spring.
