It's Friday; aren't you excited? lol
I am participating in a EASTER BASKET CHALLENGE over at GEN'S. I put these three little "baskets" together.
** Gen is sick and won't be posting Mr. Linky till 3/13. I am going to go ahead and post my baskets because I want to give them away in time for Easter.
(keep reading)
All three containers are thrift store finds. It just goes to show you that you can use anything for a basket. :)
"Gardeners Gathering"
To this basket "aka" a wood handled planter, I have added a pair of vintage print gloves, hand cloth( ya know you get dirty hands from working in the dirt ;)), a small spade, "gardening angel on duty" yard sign, some local newspaper from my hometown( great for keeping out the weeds)and a pack of celery scented tarts. The tarts have a very clean summery smell to them. and of course, a few chocolate Easter eggs, it takes energy to garden. lol
"A Sewer's Sampling"
This little container is a saltbox coffee mug. In it you will get a sampling of sewing goods. There is
a scrap of black wool, cream colored flannel, tan and black checked fabric, tea stained cheesecloth, black and tan checked ribbon, mini grubby hang tags, three wooden buttons, and a few rusty pins. :) And, of course some chocolate Easter eggs. It takes energy to sew. :)
"A love of Primitives Collection"
You will get this cute band box, a handmade heart, vintage bingo cards, jar labels( one says "sewing notions" the other "soap"), a crow mini plaque, grubby hang tags from seven gypsies,, a strand of ten lights on brown cord,some vintage clothespins,bar of fels naptha soap and of course, some chocolate Easter eggs, cause prim lovers need energy to decorate.
Have you noticed the need for chocolate thingy going on here?? lol
Anyways, here is the "catch" on winning one of these great goodies.
YOU MUST BE ON MY FOLLOWERS LIST OR HAVE ME ON YOUR BLOG ROLL AND POST A COMMENT HERE.
It's as simple as that. :)
You don't have to pass this on using your own blog at all. I have decided that giving away goodies to only those that follow my blog is a good thing. I want them to get the goods. lol
I am going to be doing more giveaways like this, That's a hint to get on as a follower. lol.
Iwill pick the winners on March 13th. It may be a Friday the 13th but for 3 people, it's going to be a lucky day. :). MAKE SURE YOU STOP OVER AT GEN'S THAT DAY TO SEE THE OTHER BASKETS TOO. :)
Be back soon, Kim
What a neat idea. I have a bunch of stuff I am not using anymore and wanted to get rid of, Marjolean Bastin stuff. I thought Goodwill but this stuff is too good for Goodwill. I wanted to have a give away but was afraid I could not afford the postage. Have you ever heard of a give away and then the person pays for postage?? I know I am soo cheap!
