Vintage Find Sunday

To celebrate Vintage Find (Easter) Sunday I thought it was appropriate to share with you a metal basket originally used on farms to collect eggs. Egg baskets come in a variety of sizes, and some are completely metal or have a plastic coating over the metal to help protect the eggs. My basket has a white coating, but still illuminates rustic charm. Egg baskets can be used for carrying or storing a variety of items in the home. I placed mine outside on a beautiful day to contain outdoor reading material and yarn for knitting. Beside my basket is a wonderful cup of green tea for my relaxation time on the porch. The brightly colored plaid tea set is also vintage. Wouldn't an egg basket make a wonderful Easter gift?

Online you can buy new egg baskets at eggboxes.com ($18.00) or an older version at goantiques.com ($25.00).
