Basket Makeover

When I saw Rosemary's post , I just had

to make a basket like hers for myself.

She told me where she purchased her basket

and I tried to find some , but to no avail.

However, I was very surprised to realize that I already had a basket like hers although darker in color so I immediately took the flowers out of it that originally came in it and started the transformation process.

Love how she turned out and this one is for me to keep.

I used antique red cross white gauze for the ribbon, a white ruffle off of a skirt that I purchased at the Goodwill some time ago and a parchment rose. I also added a paper embellishment to the front of it. I enjoyed making it and it didn't take long at all. Just a little paint, hot glue, one burnt finger and a few minutes later wa la it was done.

Happy weekend everyone! Blessings~

White Wednesday

Here it is Wednesday again and I find

myself not prepared. Where, oh where

are these days going?? I know I haven't a

clue where they have flown off to. I just

know that somehow I am getting farther

and farther behind.

Believe it or not , at the beginning of the season

this planter had a beautiful light pink tiny petunia

basket inside it and it was just spilling all over the edge

and looked wonderful...that is until I got ahold of it.

I yanked it out today and replace it with this impatien

hanging basket. I did put some fertilizer in the

petunia basket so we will see if that helps it any.

I sure hope so.

The little petunia plant is sitting on my step now and

you can see the tiny flowers in the background of

this photo and the second photo as well.

I would love to tweak my photos and add effects as so

many of you are doing, but with my slow dial up internet,

it is just not possible. I can't wait for the day I can play with

my photos though.

Speaking of...we decided to bite the bullet and pay a little more

for a high speed that we could get. Contacted them, thought for

sure it would not be a problem as we only live 3 miles from their

nearest tower. It was not to be. The problem ? Weak reception

because of a tree somewhere...grrr. We could not believe

it ...I think we are destined to be on dial up forever.

At any rate...HAPPY WHITE WEDNESDAY.

Be sure and visit Kathleen over at Faded Charm

for more WW posts.

White Wednesday Tour- ~

Come along and tour my place with me...

A watering can full of white phlox will greet you at the back door~ Along with this beautiful white light fixture~ Step into our back porch where this basket hangs on the door that opens into the kitchen ~ Please open the door and come right in. I have been waiting for you... Looking across the room you will see this shutter hanging above the window adorned with a Simply Shabby Chic clock~

Gaze around and you will find this cast iron piece

hanging on the wall above the refrigerator ~

Look to the left side of the window and you will see

where this basket resides along with many others~

Now step into the dining room and from there we will find

this jar of glass glitter sittting on a shelf in my studio

just waiting to be used again~

Oops...this didn't turn out right...

this photo was taken in the bathroom off the kitchen.

Oh well...you get the idea. {hee hee}

Sometimes the best laid plans go awry.

Enjoy your beautiful White Wednesday today.
