Once I started making these boxes, I couldn't stop! I made one for my mom when she came to visit last weekend, but forgot to take photos. :( Tomorrow my dad and step-mom are visiting for the day to celebrate belated Easter and birthdays together, so I wanted to make one for them too, but decided to go in a different direction. Vintage Farm Style! (I just made that up.) Most of the goodies came from the $1 bins at Michael's (recipe cards, corn cob holders, vegetable magnets, etc.) and I added a few splurges, such as the Burt's Bees hand salve. I was also able to find some Easter candy for 75% off, including those sweet little chocolate carrots! I put everything I could fit into a box with a little red wagon on the lid and tied the rest on top with a green checked ribbon. My dad is an organic milk specialist and spends time gardening, so I thought this would be a fun theme for them. :)
Also, I added a photo of our ever emerging All-Seasons tree, which now has glittery eggs and butterflies!
I am soooo looking forward to gorgeous weather in the 70's tomorrow. I finally, after many years of searching for the right one, bought a wicker picnic basket at World Market on sale, 50% off baby! Can't wait to go picknicking with my family tomorrow! Hope you all have a lovely day as well. :)
Lovely Boxes. :) You are a great goodie finder. And the tree is Beautiful with a capital B.
ReplyDeleteThe box looks wonderful! Full of lots of goodies! Enjoy your picnic. Hope you'll show pics of your new basket.
ReplyDeleteI just love your vintage farm style box! What a cute idea! You are so creative and crafty, I love seeing your photos and ideas. Too bad you live so far away, I think we'd have fun hanging out together! :)
