Hello Everyone! I’m still bringing things into the house from the garage that I have been picking up at antique shops and flea markets over the last few weeks. One of my treasures that I was lucky enough to purchase at a flea market in Pennsylvania was this picnic basket.
I probably would have passed this picnic basket up because I have a few of them already. But what caught my eye was that it was insulated.
The asking price on the tag was $40 but I only paid $25 for it and I didn’t even have to negotiate the price!
I think that poor old man must have thought I was going to be his only sale that day because I started to walk away and he said to me “I’ll make you a deal”. And a deal he did….he sold it to me for $25!
Not only was I lucky enough to purchase this vintage picnic basket at a reasonable price, but I was also a lucky winner of this beautifully handcrafted ruffled French red ticking tea towel.
Needless to say, I was surprised when Linda at White Weathered Hutch emailed me to let me know that I was the winner of her lovely giveaway.
Thank you Linda…..I love it!
I think it looks beautiful with my vintage picnic basket.
As always, thanks for stopping by and hope you all have a wonderful week.
Gail

Great picnic basket, Gail! I have never seen one that was insulated like this before. Your new towel goes wonderfully with the basket. I could see a red and white check tablecloth to go along with it, too!
