Debbie over at Confessions of a Plate Addict does such wonderful centerpieces in a shabby old crate. She inspired me to give it a try, although I haven't found a box as cool as hers yet. I did fine this wooden basket at the Goodwill and decided to have a little fun.
I painted the box a soft green, distressed it a bit and added a beehive graphic. Then I added a few Springy touches like a nest with a little vintage bird, a glittery Easter bunny and some charming English dessert plates.
I think this makes for a simple Spring place setting great for Easter dinner or a ladies luncheon.
Actually, I'll be taking all of these goodies into my antique store this week , so drop on by! I'm at
The box was a wonderful find. I love the graphics on it and how you displayed it. Such an adorable look for Easter.
