French Flower Market Buckets

 Bon Jour Mon Amis!  Today I wanted to share with you one of my latest projects, French flower market inspired galvanized buckets.
 When I discovered these buckets the other day, I couldn't scoop them up fast enough!  I knew that they were full of potential!  To this bucket, I added one of my all time favorite French labels from the Graphics Fairy.  Just look at all of the gorgeous detail!
 The label below, also from the Graphics Fairy, is a copy of a French soap label.  I really love the colors of this one!
 Oooh, la, la!
 Ok, this rose label has also got to be one of my favorites over at the Graphics Fairy!
 What gorgeous colors, and a fitting label for my bucket, I think!
 I've put two of these in my Etsy shop, if you want to take a peek!
 And below is a shot of a real French flower shop, right across from the little hotel we stay at in Paris!
 And this is moi at our favorite Parisian market.  I can almost smell all of those gorgeous blooms right now!
Hope you have a great weekend!
I'm linking up with the following great parties!

    You've taken those little buckets from plain to pretty! Hubby has booked a trip to Paris the end of August so I will finally get to see a bit of France. Have a wonderful day. Tammy

    Hi Donna!
    I just love your french flower buckets. I can just see a bunch of them all lined up on top of a potting bench, full of flowers!

    Hope you have a beautiful weekend
    sweet friend.

    Donna- I love your buckets! I hope you are doing okay-we have to catch up soon. It is so busy all the time here..and I know you are probably lonesome out there! At least you are keeping busy and continuing on with your beautiful creations. Do I hear of a Fall Craft Sale in the offing-same place as the summer one? xo Diana
