Mom's been busy! She stopped by my house the other day to show me what she was working on. Right away I told her to leave the stuff so I could take some pics and show you guys.
Isn't this so cute? She made the liner out of burlap, and then stenciled on a piece of osnaburg and stitched it into place. It's such a great way to freshen up these useful old carts. I personally use one as a laundry basket.
She also took this fabulous, but newer, basket and gave it a great vintage feel by adding upholstery webbing and a stenciled number. Adding a number to anything automatically gives a piece a vintage look.
Not only was she sewing, stenciling and thinking of creative ways to sell our wares, but she was also stripping and refinishing an old wicker table I had found at a garage sale. This little table had a terrible white top with some sun's stenciled on it. Mom of course new right away what to do. It looks great!
Good job mom!
