Garden Bunny in the Basket


With all the painting and semi-cleaning I've been doing around here I haven't been putzing with my sunporch very much. So this morning I thought I'd play a little with an old wicker florist basket and some vintage garden goodies.



I think my absolute favorite vintage items are garden related.
The chippier the better in my book.



Here my little bunns is checking out an old garden magazine
 from 1959, and some yellow garden tools. 


(not sayin' anything or anyone from 1959 is old, you know)


and of course peat pots...
who can resist their allure?



I used the large handle of the basket to act as a topiary form
for my trailing ivy which currently resides in an old McCoy planter.


I'm a sucker for good graphics...
Will I plant these seeds?
Probably not, but I DO love me some seed packets
and if they look vintage then all the better!











Ahhhh...morning sun on bunny buns.
It will be in the low 80's all week,
so I have some more outside work to do. 



I still can't find my Easter things...
so it's slim pickens around here for inspiration.
I do have a few things up my sleeve, though.




If you have an Etsy Shop or Online Boutique
or if you just like to shop...(excuse me, who doesn't?)
I hope you'll check out Monday Marketplace and spread the word.
(just scroll down to the next post)

  11. This basket is just charming, Debra! I love how you've decorated it and I'm sure it brings a nice touch of Spring to your sunroom. I'm sure my Easter stuff is in the attic, but I just haven't brought myself to pull down the stairs and climb up there. By the time I do, Easter will be here already!

  17. Debra, your photography just keeps getting better and better. I love the darling basket and all the goodies inside it...the old mag and chippy yellow tools, especially. Hey, some of my sisters and I are planning a road trip in mid- June...destination Missouri. Is the tea room you post about sometimes the Spring Creek Tea Room? Some of my sister's friends go there...if it is I would love to meet up for lunch!

  29. Your Spring basket vignette is just the cutest and I wouldn't be surprised if some magazine doesn't email you wanting to use your photos.
    It's so visually appealing with the cute bunny, chippy gardening tools and the addition of the gardening book...oh, and I LOVE the basket! Happy Spring!
