French Zinc Basket


Today I am sharing one of my flea market finds from shopping over the weekend.
 A French zinc wire basket.
 I have a newfound weakness for French farmhouse antiques.


I was at a loss for what to add to this basket.
 Too narrow for pillows. I had to think for awhile.
 I got the idea to cut down some branches which gives it a rustic and unfussy look.


I wanted to share a couple blogs I've recently discovered that I am loving.


and


They both have beautiful atmosphere and I think you will like them, too.
