2nd Time Around: Hand Painted Basket from Portugal

Welcome to 2nd Time Around. Please join us by linking a post that features something that is a 2nd Time Around to you…something from a garage sale, flea market, thrift store, estate sale, etc. Please link your post rather than your blog, and link back to this blog. Thank you for participating.

 

This time of the year it’s really hard to find much at yard sales, etc. It is too cold for most people to have one, and if they did it would be too cold to get up early and go! So, I try to go to the area thrift stores at least once a week to see if any treasures can be found!

I’m usually looking for items for my flea market booth, or vintage jewelry, but occasionally I find something I like to hang on to. This little hand painted porcelain basket from Portugal was one of those items! It is so cute, and the perfect color for my sage green bathroom. And I am always attracted to items made somewhere besides China!

I took several pictures because I thought I would put it in my Etsy shop, but since then, I’ve decided to keep it. It is perfect for those small things like nail clippers, etc. that are always needed quickly and usually get lost in a drawer! Who knows…later it may end up in one of the booths, or in my Etsy shop, but for now it has a home in the bathroom!
