A Tisket and Tasket

I got some more baskets. Just what I needed but for some reason I can't resist them especially if they are different and interesting. In the past 2 years, I have purchased about a dozen baskets even though I never considered them to really be my style. Everything from Longaberger to one handmade by an 80 year old woman to the really old one that falls apart just by looking at it. I should do a blog just on my baskets because I love each one- they are sooo my style!

Anyhow, Keith had a couple days off work so we did some major shopping around Texas. The most fun and interesting was this little town of Salado where all this stuff I am going to share with you comes from. First my baskets.

I have no idea what I am going to do with this one or where I am going to put it but I have not seen one like it so I just bought it to figure out for later. I might use it as a serving piece instead of for decor-- for bread or something like that.

This little cutie I had a plan for-- to contain the mess on top of my washer.


I also got this because I just couldn't walk out of the store without it

I was thinking about getting several in different sizes. Then you can place cute little knick knacks under the glass like the little bird nest that in there now. At the store they had some tiny chocolate rabbits and green grass in it- so cute. Since I don't like a lot of extra stuff around to decorate for the minor holidays (hate packing it everywhere we go) this would be fun and not very over the top. I love things in minature.

Keith bought me cup and for good reason. Every travel mug that comes into our house he takes to work and leaves it there- or loses the lid so its not so travelable (??). If you are ever wondering what to get Keith as a gift-- a travel mug would be great because you can bet he has lost the last one you gave him! He even took one of mine that had flowers at the top and covered it with white tape so he could use it. It was a gift that I was excited about because I thought for sure that it was all mine and couldn't be shared. (There is a reason I bought a pink Ipod instead of the apple green one that I really wanted). So when I reached for a travel mug just the other day to find none- I was slightly irritated.

Keith saw this one and knew for sure he wouldn't be caught dead carrying it-white tape or not, so he got it for me. Supposedly its safe.


I took a picture of the roses Keith got me for V-day-- they are on the last leg as you can tell I am holding it together for the picture- but I loved the color


And lastly, I made the CUTEST sign the other day that is hanging somewhere else in Killeen now.

I really like this one and see more in my near future!
