Hello everyone!
Remember when I won a giveaway for a shopping spree at Antique Farmhouse? Well, I spent the last of it on this adorable blue wire basket.
At first, I was going to put magazines in it, but then realized that the basket wasn't large enough for them to lie flat in the bottom. (I don't like my magazines to stand upright because it curls up the bottom of the pages ..... OCD I guess!) So, I placed it on my fireplace thinking it would look good there.
But, then I decided to move it again. Are you still with me?
It ended up in my foyer.

I decided it needed something in it. I threw in some bundled books without the covers.
So, for now, she sits here. She adds a little pop of blue in there and I'm happy. I love all of the possibilities of how it can be used.

Isn't it fun to get something new and figure out the perfect spot for it?
I'm still waiting on my New Cottage Style book to arrive. The company sent me the wrong book, so now they are supposed to re-send it out to me. Arghh!
We are experiencing a heat wave here in GA too. We will be reaching triple digits this weekend. Yikes! Thank goodness for air conditioning.
Hope everyone has a good weekend!
Thanks for stopping by.

It is really big and looks great in your foyer. Would also look good with faux purple hydrangeas. I am not looking forward to 100 degrees and have been watering my flowers and hydrangeas deeply. I am praying for rain big time-we need it badly. hugs, olive

Love your new blue basket. I really like the little pop of color it adds.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your Thursday!
great basket! We are having a cool, wet summer here so far, but that is good for me-I don't do well in the heat. I don't think I'd make a good southerner, and I almost ended up in Dallas after vet school =)
ReplyDeleteGreat Basket..and, of course, you'd find the perfect use for it..
ReplyDeleteI love it and it is way too hot!! So nice yesterday. What a difference.
ReplyDeleteGreat basket, Kelly! I'll bet you could come up with a lot of different ways to use it. We are supposed to be hitting triple digits here, too. Fingers crossed the power doesn't go!
ReplyDeleteVery cute basket....love the color!!! I'm sure it will make the rounds in your house...it is a great size and so versatile :o)

Your basket is so pretty Kelly and it looks nice where you have it! Weekend weather here in Maryland is going to be in the three digits too....not looking forward to that. Oh well, I have things I can do inside. Enjoy your weekend, Gail
ReplyDeleteTriple digits in Texas, too!!
ReplyDeleteLove baskets - wire, wood, ANY kind of basket!
Cute wire basket! It looks perfect on your entry chest. Great color, too. Stay cool!
ReplyDeleteVery pretty Kelly, I love the way it looks with the books! Mid 90's here in NY this weekend and the humidity is back YUK! Stay cool and have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteGreat purchase, Kelly. Love that shade of blue. We're at 101+ here in the midwest. Blehhhhh!
ReplyDeleteThat is adorable Kelly and you found the perfect place for it!
ReplyDeleteFor two days we had such nice temps but today was in the 90's and so hot!
That's me, I get something like that and then can't figure out what to do with it. Always looks so stylish in other people's house and dumb in mine.... I like it in yours! :)

It's been triple digits in OK every single day. Whew! I'm OCD just like that too!

I love it Kelly! The pop of blue is so summery and it looks beautiful. It was so awesome to meet you in Atlanta and I only wish we had more time to talk! :-)

The basket and color are really soft and pretty. I like how it pops but not overwhelms.
ReplyDeleteWe are getting triple digits as well. I'm not looking forward to that at all. Stay cool! :)
Love your style...very Jeanne d'Ark Living....
ReplyDeleteI absolutely LOVE that blue basket. I hate when companies send me the wrong thing- blessings- xo Diana
