    Vintage French Farmhouse Vignette

    Published by Pam Kessler | 248 words. · About 2 minutes to read this article. - 31 Comments

    I think there's nothing more peaceful than lambs.

    You rarely hear a peep out of them.

    Vintage looking print of a sheep in a green frame and setting in a basket.

    Gosh, I have Peeps (the cute marshmallow kind) on the mind today. I really do have to stop eating those before my teeth rot right out of my head and I have to change my blogging profile picture.

    Two fuzzy decorative lambs setting on a table.

    I did have that incident in high school where a cute little lambykins tried to smash me up against the wall in his stall and squished my toes. But I'm sure he was the black sheep of his family and was promptly disciplined. Or eaten. Either-or.

    I decided to pair my lambs up with my funeral basket.

    Vignette with silver wine bucket, hydrangeas, lambs and a vintage funeral basket.

    Go ahead, call it a wedding basket or even a florist basket, but we all know it's a funeral basket.

    When I bought it back at the beginning of March, I asked my Facebook friends what color I should paint it and then I quickly cast aside their suggestions and decided to leave it as found.

    It just seemed an easier choice what with the weather being so cold and me not wanting to spray paint in the house.

    Vintage funeral basket.

    I'm sure it was bright white at some point, but it's more like a dingy gray by now.

    So it's out with the birds and in with the lambs for spring.

    Hope you enjoyed your first day of spring. I hear it's going to be making an appearance in the Midwest in the next six months or so.

      I had to click on your link at Jennifer Rizzo's party when I saw the lamb picture! I just purchased a piece of lamb artwork for the kitchen. Love your little lambie-kins!

      Lambs are one of my favorite things. One sits atop my sisters grave stone. 😉 Love the vintage ones, and the old drawings and artwork.

      Love the lambs - I collect sheep and would take that print from you in a sec. About the basket. I collect the wicker and the metal ones. When my mother graduated from high school (for girls only) in the 1940's, each girl had a basket like this filled with flowers. The baskets lined the stage.

      I had to turn my heat back on - NO FAIR!

Very pretty vignette! and about peeps...well I haven't peeped yet, my 4yo tried the head and spitted out the rest of the body.."I don't like it mamma"...well...good...no cavities this Easter!
