Home and Family Friday and a New Planter
If you’re here for the Home and Family Friday Linky Party, you’re in the right place. First, I have a new project to share with you.
I’m really excited about my new planter. I’ve had the container for a long time, so long I don’t even remember where it can from. 
I have moved it from room to room, never finding a good place for it. I always loved the chippy white paint and the rust showing through. The problem is, that I don’t have any other pieces like this. When it goes to a new place, it stands out like a sore thumb. The white just didn’t blend with any of my things.
Enter my favorite decorating tools:
Black Spray Paint
Burlap
Checks
I painted the wire basket with black spray paint and then lined the basket with burlap. The burlap will allow for drainage, hold the dirt in place, and add…well, burlap, and who doesn’t love burlap!!!
Add a few cheery yellow flowers.
It’s the perfect centerpiece for the kids’ picnic table.
The combination of black wire, burlap, checks, and the yellow flowers just thrills me to no end. I love how it turned out.
Here are a few linky parties I like to participate in:

I liked the chippy white finish on the basket and when I saw the black paint I thought "oh no!" I have to admit it turned out great! I love it. I think the burlap, the right ribbon and flowers are a beautiful combination. It looks so cute sitting on that table.

Well…I guess Linky is being cranky with me tonight. I've tried to add my link several times, and it keeps telling me it already exists, but it's not there.
ideas?
Thanks!

Becca, what a cute project! It fits you house perfectly (which I love, btw!). Thanks for the nice comment on my daughter's party and for coming to get me for the party! I know I am a little late in linking, but I am almost caught up with getting our house for sale, etc. Should be finished by Monday or Tuesday 🙂 Will be posting my new granite countertops & tile backsplash & a whole house tour next week. Have a great weekend!
Ann @ makethebestofthings

Thanks for hosting!
elizabeth @ twelvecrafts
Thanks for stopping by twelve crafts and inviting me over. I linked up four projects (although one of them disappeared), so are you sorry you invited me now? 😉 I'm pretty sure people make up those rules about linking up only two project per party because of people like me. 😉
I like the smell of warm chocolate chip cookies too . . . better yet, I like the taste of warm chocolate chip cookies! 😉
Sherry @ No Minimalist Here
Becca, Your basket turned out adorable! Love that you put the burlap inside and added the ribbon…so cute.
