Yes to the Basket....No to the Rooster

When I spotted these baskets I knew they had potential.... and although I once feverishly decorated with Roosters....they're no longer my "thing" so they had to go.

I was going to simply remove the front plate and use them as is but then some ideas struck me.

and from my stash of stuff I created

This one got a white-wash....it was quite a messy job so "just the one"

I'm soon going to list them in my Etsy shop.

One Potted Plant = Three Sweet Memories

- The Christmas Cactus was given to me by my husband when we were dating (~10 years ago) - it blooms every year just not necessarily at Christmas time.

- The white iron/wire basket was a gift shop find while we were on a romantic weekend getaway in Ogunquit, Maine (our hotel overlooked The Marginal Way)

- The painted ceramic pot was purchased at one of our first trips to the Brimfield Fair (it's full of cracks and peeling paint which is why I love it so much)!
