    A Tisket, A Tasket

    A tisket, a tasket
    A brown basket

    Wait, I think it says something about a green and yellow basket. Oh well, at least I had some fun thrift store finds this week.


    Wooden picnic basket made by West Rindge Baskets in New Hampshire for $2.92. It is just in OK condition, since it has a broken splint in the front and the lid is missing a few nails. But I thought it was cute and springy.


    A silverplated serving dish for $2.00.


    A silverplated footed bowl for $1.00.


    Silverplated forks made by Winthrop for 25 cents each.


    OK, I admit it. I have a silver problem. I'm pretty sure I can kick it though. Maybe tomorrow.


    Did you notice that I drug out my Daffodils again. Thought I'd take advantage of them while I can.

      I have that very same basket. I used to hide my answering machine in it because I thought it looked ugly on my counter. Now it's in the phone so no need to hide. Check out my blog posts this week. I have a very easy way to clean that silver.

      Hi Pam!

      Great finds! My neighbor's daffodils are starting to perk up. Hey, did you see that big golden ball is the sky today?

      You always find the best deals! Hey, how about painting that picnic basket in your "turquoise" paint? That would look great!! (Or another color, to hide the discrepancies that you wrote about!) I am planning to spray paint a big handled basket I have for Spring that doesn't look that great in its original state... as soon as the damn weather gets better over here to go outside to spray paint! 🙂
      Best,
      Gloria

      Hi Pam, I love all your thrifty finds and especially the basket. I would have grabbed it too. I also have a silver problem! Your new silver finds are wonderful. Thanks for joining the party.

      Love the basket- have a little thing for them :).
      But my heart beats fast for tarnished silver and this is in just the right stage for me :).
      You are going to polish it, aren't you? You know that's an unending battle.
      Cool finds and I never tire of daffodils. I am posting mine every chance I get.
      Happy evening- Tete
