French Basket

I found this basket at a second hand shop at the beach this winter. Aaagh! I thought and probably said outloud. I grabbed it because I knew there were more than one way I could decorate it and many ways to use it in my home.

So, here are a few photos of various antique pictures on it, a coffee filter flower, burlap, twine...hung it on my cabinet, hung it on my wall, thought I may even hang it on the front door. I absolutely love metal, burlap and twine combined with a bit of color.
