My flea market find this week is a little ripper. I'm sure you've all experienced that feeling when you quickly scan the shelves of your local Oppy and make a premature judgement call that there is nothing there for you, only to dig a little deeper into the pile of inconspicuous 'stuff' and be elated with your find.
So this week, I did just that and whilst burying through a floor full of wicker baskets, I came across this one. The basket itself is in great condition but the moment of elation came when I opened it up to find it full of vintage picnic wares. Orange flasks, salt and pepper shakers, napkins, cups and plates...it was all there.
I promptly handed it over to the kids and we all set to work making an impromptu picnic in the backyard.
After all, we had seriously dehydrated stuffed puppies to feed!

That is so cool! Those wicker baskets are almost always empty so that was ana amzing score.
That is so neat. I love the impromptu picnic with it also. Adorable. Picnic baskets are so wonderful. They conjure up thoughts of romance and the beauty of nature, to me.
I am sooo jealous! I so want one of those, the last one I found in good condition was at an antique store for $80.00 - not in the budget.
It pays to go digging around:)
