I find alot of random things at estate sales and pick them up hoping to find a use for them one day. They end up in assorted cigar boxes marked for different occasions or holidays. I know that one day I will find a use for these oddball items.
The day has come for a few random treasures to be given new use. Voila....Easter Baskets made from found treasures.
These baskets have given life to the oddball, unusual and one of a kind. A little whimsical world created with things I have picked up over the years. The baskets are made from old metal molds with pipe cleaner handles. They are chock full of silly finds. I love how they turned out!
This one features a bunny floral pick.
I loved this little lamb when I bought him and finally found the perfect spot to showcase him.
I will be listing these one of a kind Easter baskets along with LOTS of other Easter goodies on Monday, March 1st at 5 p.m. (pacific time) on Etsy. Hop over and check it out!
I LOVE easter! That yellow bunny is the cutests!

Tooooo cute! I rescued some molds similar to these from my aunt! I just knew there would be something really cool to do with them someday! Now I know! (Although, I'll probably never have time to make up one, ha ha!)
