Sometimes Simple Is Better!

Have you ever planned a project, intending to create something extravagant, time consuming, or complicated?  And then ended up fashioning something than was rather simple, that you liked oh so much better?  Well, today I'd like to share with you one such project!

 I am in love with galvanized anything, so I'm always on the prowl for unique pieces when out thrifting.  Well, a few weeks ago I discovered a set of two really great galvanized containers, one smaller than the other, that had neat copper handles.  I couldn't scoop them up soon enough!  As is often the case, I wasn't exactly sure what I would do with them, but I knew that inspiration would eventually hit!  Initially I thought I'd create gift baskets out of them for my booth, and planned on filling them with lots of goodies, and then maybe decorating the outside in some way.  Well, the more I thought about it, the more it occurred to me that a simple design would not only save me alot of time (not to mention money!), but might also appeal to more potential customers as well!

 So I hopped over to the Graphics Fairy, in search of some ideas (Karen has some awesome graphics!), and found this really neat French label, that I knew would be just the thing for my galvanized pieces!

 All it took was a little Mod Podge, and voila!!!  An easy, peasy project that I think turned out better (and far quicker!) than my initial plans!

 I took them to my booth, but I wouldn't be heart broken if they didn't sell!

 I think the tone of the label coordinates perfectly with the copper handles.  I am super happy with the way they turned out.  So next time when I'm planning a project and think of something complicated or time consuming, simple can be oh so much better!

I'm linking up with Karen over at the Graphics Fairy for Brag Monday.  Be sure to visit for some terrific ideas!!
