...for silver, that is!
Yes, here I am after losing my head for these
sweet painted silver wicker baskets.
(just decided I felt like being silly today.
After yesterday's post,
I gave myself permission!)
This one is holding one of my younger daughter's
wedding bouquets.
And these little gals are in my studio,
just there to brighten my day!
They behave themselves pretty well.
Love the paint patina, here.
And this is a little vignette of two
of my silver-plate baskets,
full of Valentine goodness.
Be sure and join the rest of us Silver Sunday groupies
with Beth at Gypsy Fish Journal.
Have a wonderful weekend!
love,
Debra
I think loosing your head is a good thing....I wish I really could sometimes, because I get lost in it sooo much!
ReplyDeleteLove those baskets...

What a fun post Debra...love the doll head in a basket...your silver ones are beautiful girl...Hope you have a great weekend my friend...Hugs and smiles Gl♥ria
ReplyDeletecan I jump in that basket with you?
ReplyDeletedown in the dumps today!
Lovely baskets. I have always loved these. My mom did floral arranging professionally in the 50's so they always remind me of her. My dad made some metal flower baskets for her to use and painted them silver. Wish I had some of those. xo joan
ReplyDeleteLovely Silver! I enjoyed seeing your collection!
ReplyDeleteHugs, Lisa
Debra- this made me smile.
ReplyDeleteI don't even know where my head IS...
Your photographs are especially pretty in this post.
Your friend,
Laura
Hi Debra,
ReplyDeleteThose are my favorite kind of baskets. I just think they are so great. Any size, any color. And I love how you have them filled. Filled or empty they are just so pretty.

Debra, You are the only other person I know who collects these old florist baskets. I have several and since none of them were taken very good care of, they need lots of work, but I love them anyway. Your post is simply glorious! Blessings Meg

Hi Debra...
ReplyDeleteOoooh...I love all of your pretty silver baskets! I'm just thinking of a hundred different ways you could use them...and so nice that you have several!!! Your daughter's bouquet is gorgeous...just perfect for adorning that pretty silver basket! Love your dollies too!!! The first photo cracked me up...the doll's head and your title! How clever! Hehe!
Now, I'm really loving your silver handled candy dish! That's a lovely vignette!!! I think I have the matching mercury glass candle/goblets that go with yours! Thank you so much for sharing all of your silver pretties with us today...what a sweet treat!!!
Warmest winter wishes,

i love old floral or funeral baskets - love the stands you sometimes find with them also -
ReplyDeletedon't know why - but doll heads creep me out - think it has to do with an old movie - you remember the one where joan crawford was being driven crazy and someone held a head in the window to make her think she was seeing things - doll heads always remind me of that scene -
seriously, i sometimes have nightmares - oh and then that movie with anthony hopkins and ann margaret in the 70s/80s about the talking ventriloquist dummy .. too freaky ..
oh .. sorry, didn't mean to ramble ..
love your post though!

Debra,you crack me up! Fun header to your post. I love old floral baskets, too. For some reason they don't do well at the shop, but I keep buying them...Finally, I just said if no one gets it, then thet're coming home with me..Now I enjoy them every day!! Have a great SS
