Bon Jour, Mon Amis!
Do you love the look of rustic baskets as much as I do? Oui? Well, today I thought I'd share with you one of my latest creations, a wicker basket that I gave a French Country accent to!
What could be more French Country than chicken wire? I really love the look. I began by giving the basket a white washed treatment, which really gives it Old World charm, I think!
Next, I created an oversized tag from one of my all time favorite French graphics from the Graphics Fairy.The piece de la resistance is a key that says "dream". As in "dreaming of Provence"!
Oh, and I can't forget the big floppy bow that I made out of rustic looking burlap. This was a fun project, which transported me to the French countryside (in my mind, anyway!!). I'm adding this lovely to my Etsy shop, if you care to take a peek! Au revoir!

You've pulled it all together beautifully ... such great attention to detail!
I just love the tag and the key embellishment. Another fantastic creation, Donna.
Genius! Using the chicken wire is pure genius! Love it!
Oh you are so sweet Donna! I will try to take a rest. Keep warm yourself. I am surprised you dont like cold knowing you were from. I cant wait till I can get used to it. My limit is 77. Can u imagine? My hubby is hot and sweaty and I am covered in flanel clothes! Lol!
