Mum and I went thrifting this afternoon, and found everything we were looking for...and then some! I shied away from my usual shabby chic colour scheme - pink and white - and was inspired to create this Easter basket using all of my mum's favourite colours - taupe, greens, robin egg blue and rich browns.
I found the perfect basket, with six compartments - enough to hold seashells, vintage lace, a nesting bird, a hand stand and antique sheet music, as well as my organza bags filled with hand-painted speckled eggs. I finished each bag with a homemade tag.
I also found another antique printer's tray - perfect to hold stamps and small collectibles!
I'll post that tomorrow...

Lovely soothing colors... eggs seem to be the bon mot around for decorating this year, don't they? Cheery, natural and with just a bit of hope inside.
