Funeral Baskets


Happy Friday My Fine Feathered Friends


I have an affinity for vintage funeral baskets (I have six). 
Joe asks are we starting a funeral parlor. 
No, I reply, we do not have enough funeral baskets yet.

I am traveling today to pick up my kiddo at college
 and go garage salen in Athens on Saturday.

What are your weekend plans?


joy and peace

  1. Love your baskets! I love mine beyond reason. Especially the metal ones. Your weekend sounds perfect! I was lucky enough to have one of my kiddos home for a few days this week. All the way from Connecticut!

  6. I have one funeral basket. I'd love more, too. Nothing planned - Don has to work. Some cleaning, a lot of crocheting for the shop, the usual. Have a great weekend!

  7. Love the photo of those hydrangeas. Beautiful! Gosh, I've never thought about getting funeral baskets before, but I'm sure you put yours to good use, knowing you! Have a lovely time with your daughter.

  8. I love them too although I don't have any. That one is especially pretty in the photo. But....I ADORE your new header. I haven't been here in awhile because I just don't have the time to read like I used to and then came here today and I love it!

  9. I love those old Funeral baskets, I could kick myself for not picking up one of the large free standing ones at an antique store about 20 years ago, it was only $20!
    Have a wonderful weekend~

  10. I am so jealous! I love funeral baskets, but haven't found the right one yet. Preferably, I would like one that never went to a funeral.

  22. Shoot, another thing I wish I had : )
    I think I wish I was living your weekend and not mine that has been full of laundry since we got home from my daughters. I hope you are having a wonderful time dear friend.

  23. Olive, another thing I did not know about you. If you come home with a horse-drawn hearse, then I think Joe may start to worry. Ann
