A Few Favorites

I'm going to join in the party at The Polo House, Favorite Things on the First.  Come and join in the fun.  The theme is containers.  

First up, my sewing drawer.  It's a favorite because I can change it to fit any occasion.  Right now it's decorated for Valentine's Day.  



This is a favorite as well.  I refurbished this old wooden box that was originally used to hold 8-track tapes.  I painted it with chalk paint, lined the lid with pretty paper, and mod podged labels to the front.  Just like the drawer, it is decorated differently on a whim!



Shiny containers are a beautiful addition to any table!

This gate is a great piece to decorate too!  The metal box on the front is a great flower container.

I can't forget the jelly cupboard. It contains other favorites. It's great fun to decorate!

The arrangement below is a new favorite!

Love milk glass, crystal, white dishes!

This urn is a great favorite, love the cherub!!

This P&G Basket contains flowers here, but is currently holding towels in the guest bath.

So there you have it, just a few of my favorite containers.  
Hope you enjoyed seeing them.  Come back soon!!

  7. Hi Kathy,
    You have so many wonderful containers in your home and I just love how you've embellished each one. I had to laugh when you said the sewing machine drawer was formerly used for 8tracks!!! LOL.

  14. How pretty! Love all your containers here and please tell me, is that last basket an antique or vintage piece?
    Does the P&G logo stand for Proctor and Gamble? Maybe a promotional giveaway piece? Dying to know! Such a great basket!

    Thanks so much for sharing at Favorites on the First!
