This large round basket was added to the living room coffee table after our thrifting this weekend. It has leather handles and would be equally pretty hanging on a wall if I had a free one. I paid five dollars for it. I have had the German enamel pitcher for years. The antlers were given to me.
This week has been extremely tense for me, so far, with no end in sight. I am playing tag with the post office and have a deadline for a writing job and am not feeling well on top of all that. It is good that I work well under pressure. Thank you all for your visits here.

That is a great basket! BTW, I love your 'hotel' sign. What is there about signs that are so attractive?? Anyway, I hope you feel better soon, Olive.
ReplyDeleteGreat basket; I wonder what it's original function was? Pitcher and antlers are great as well! Hope the end of the week is better for you!
ReplyDeletewhat?...you have no free wall space either? hope you feel better. I woke up with a crappy cold yesterday and I'm totally nonfunctioning. so what else is new? xoxo
ReplyDeleteLovely basket - it reminds me of the 'shaker' style - hope you manage to achieve everything that is awaiting you in the pipeline Olive, but take care.
ReplyDeleteI like that basket/tray. Hope you are feeling better soon. There's so much crud going around.
ReplyDeleteI saw those pitchers last in YWCA camp in the 1950's! Stay well.
ReplyDeleteThat is wonderful to know Jo.
DeleteI wonder if this basket had an original specific purpose? It's really neat. Your week sounds like mine, so you have my sympathies! Hang in there.
ReplyDeleteOh Olive. so sorry to hear you're not feeling well. All the best with your writing job.
ReplyDeleteLove that basket!! Hope you get to feeling better soon.

ReplyDeletehope it all works out for you real soon. remember to relax. big big hugs. i love power - catching up on emails & all my friends posts. wild times. ( :
ReplyDeleteThe tray with its leather handles is a very nice piece. I love it pictured against the blue stripe fabric on the chair. And the fabric on that pillow is stunning!
ReplyDeleteI guess if there were anything you could do about the pressures on you right now you would have already done it, but do try to take care of yourself.
Oh, I LOVE that basket! I've never seen anything quite like it. Great enamelware pitcher too :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great basket. It has been slow here thrifting. Hope you meet your deadline and feel better too.

ReplyDeleteThat is a cute basket/tray. It looks like it's made of bamboo. I love something on the coffee table to corral things in like that. Hope you start feeling better soon. No fun to feel bad during such a busy time!
