Vintage Easter Basket One


I found not one but two vintage Mexican Easter baskets recently. I bought this one, yesterday, at a local community thrift store that my sweet neighbor volunteers at every Wednesday.


The chalk lamb happily belongs beside the old Easter basket I think. In the next post get ready for a pretty vintage tablecloth and some hot pink accents with the second basket. I have not put together an Easter basket in ages. I am rusty but CC is coming home Friday and I thought "Why not?"

  6. Hi Olive. So glad that you will be seeing CC again soon, and I'm sure you will have a lot of fun making up those Easter baskets. Perhaps you and CC could do one each? Can't wait to see those hot pink accents!

  10. Love that lamb. I collect the old Mexican baskets, also, though I have trimmed my collection to one of each size and the ones my brothers and I used each year. Happy Easter!

  14. I'm sure she will love it! I still put together a basket for our youngest son and just love seeing him excited to go through it. That's a great vintage basket for you to use.

  15. CC will love an Easter basket, especially one made up with a beautiful vintage basket!
    I haven't made a Easter basket in years either, but my grandson, who just turned one, will be getting one from me this year!

    Loved you past posts of your flowers, I am ready for spring too!

  16. I love your basket because it make me think of Easter and my Grandma. She had several big baskets like that, I still have. She was always carrying something like food or china in them for some meeting. The easter basket I had from her was the same look. Thanks for making me think of happy memories!
