Enamel Pail Project

Do you love enamelware?  I do, and I was thrilled to find this adorable creamy yellow enamelware bucket last week while out thrifting.  It's not vintage, (though it looks it!)  but it is brand new, and still had the original tag on it!  So of course I knew that it would be coming home with me!  It didn't have this pretty label on though.

 As soon as I spotted the pail, I just knew that a French themed label would be the perfect addition.
 I've used this beautiful label on several different projects.  It's from the Graphics Fairy, and I just love it!  I decoupaged the label on, then went over the entire label with Diamond Glaze, to give it a shiny glaze like finish.
 Isn't this wooden handle adorable? 
 Wouldn't this be charming filled with pretty rolled up cloth napkins and silverware for a buffet dinner?  Or how about in the powder room filled with some fluffy white hand towels rolled up, and some pretty bars of soap?  I can think of so many uses for this cute pail!
I'm putting her in my Etsy shop a bit later tonight.  So of course that could mean only one thing:  I need to find another one so that I can make one for myself!!

    LOL- Donna...I don't know how you can bear to part with ANY of your stuff...cuz then you have to make a second one for yourself. You have a good eye for things...and I love this little bucket...love the soft color of it too. Hugs- Diana

    That is just darling! You did a wonderful job. What is diamond glaze? I don't think I've ever heard of that and how do you get your decoupage so nice and flat? I always have creases in mine and if I try to flatten it with my fingers the paper starts to rip:(

    Oh it's perfect, Donna!! It would be so perfect on a kitchen table for a spring bouquet--or even on a porch for a vignette!!!

    Its charming! I've been searching online for enamelware today, so this really caught my eye over at Romantic Home's linky party. The label really makes it special!
