Is there anything better than walking across a yard to your garden beds with a basket swinging on your arm?
At this wonderful stage of life, I can’t imagine there is.
Of course I had to search the flea market for just the right basket .
There is always a search at the flea market .
The key? You never plan the search.
First I found this one, and I loved its no frills practicality.
Here it is on my pondering table ( in my new zinnia garden area) where I sit and
think about all sorts of important things.
I also liked it because of what was printed on the end.
But then one early morning at the flea market, I found this one, and I knew it was the one.
It has the perfect swing.

These are so cute. I got over the basket fetish and moved on to trays. Not sure what will come next.
How's the weather down your way...hearing dreadful news.

I love your colorful zinnias. I have some seeds planted, but you're way far ahead of us.

So pretty! I'm thinking that it looks like the sun is shining at your house. We need to see it too. :)

Hi Laura,
What gorgeous flowers and baskets! Love the colours. I wanted to let you know that after you were wondering where to get Fusion paint I added to my post where you can purchase Fusion paint in Canada. It is so nice to meet you and thank you for visiting me! Take care, Karen

a swinging basket and a pondering table... Well, both are perfect.
beautiful zinnias too!
Love your sweet baskets! I see you live in South Texas! I live in Spring! Glad to have found you!
Blessings My Friend,
Hi Laura, I love your pretty flowers and the baskets! I was just reading through my comments on the Summer Ranch Dressing Salad Recipe and realized that you are a new follower and welcome you to my blog! I am now going to follow you back too. Thanks for the sweet visit.

Hi Laura, what pretty flowers you have cut and placed in the basket. Spring and summers beauty for us here in Texas. Hope you are doing okay in all this rain. It is so sad for the families that have lost so much in the floods. Praying for them all.
Have a great week.
Hugs, CM
Hi Laura...it's the little things isn't it? I had to have just the right one too..mine is a large rectangular shaped shallow one. Large enough to lay the flowers flat in. Problem? I don't have a picking garden yet..at least not much of one.
But you are right...it's all in the "swing".. :):) I like both of yours.
I totally agree, Laura, never plan the search! Looks like your unplanning plan worked out just perfectly! Fabulous basket! I can see the swing from here!
Half a peck, that's interesting. Does it refer to the old weights and measures we used to learn as children, I wonder.
You and your flowers make me smile~
So, so pretty and happy!
Just because of you I have planted zinnias from seeds too and now they are just about ready to bloom!
Happy Day!

Perfect swing and marvelous and colorful flowers from within! Oh, happiness!
I love baskets too! I am not as bad as I used to be though! DANG...at one time I had baskets of all shapes and sizes hanging from the rafters in our barn! LOL! Hugs and blessings, Cindy
You can never have too many baskets!
