Happy Monday!

It's Monday already! Ugh! I like the weekends. We can come and go as we please, nap, run around, nap, play outside, nap, visit family and friends, nap...do you see a pattern here? It's 0945 Monday morning and I could seriously go for a nap already! That won't be happening so I'll just have to rely on my good old diet coke! =) It was a busy weekend but I managed to get a few things done...my most fave is this wonderful little project... 
The hubster and I picked up this rusty old basket at Junkbonanza. We originally thought it was an old egg basket but the more we looked at it we think it was a covering for a fan or something of the like. It is unique and fun! We hung it from the ceiling and I had put our fresh fruit in there all winter but now that it is getting warmer out the fruit ripens too quickly so I had to redo it. I bought (yes, bought...do you think I could find some old terracotta pots ANYWHERE?! NO!!!) Anyhoo, I painted them black, added the numbers and fresh herbs. I love, love it! It's original and fun! Here it is from another angle!
Isn't just the cutest stinkin thing? Love!

Another love I did this weekend is this...
I am in LOVE with blue mason jars! I found these 3 as a set and I knew exactly what I would do with them! I had found this little box at a thrift store and was just waiting to fill it with the perfect item and the blue jars were it! A little bit of spring!

Here they are holding tulips I had put it them last week! Love! So springy!
Both of these little projects remind me to "think outside the box", it's easy, fun, and I bet nobody has ones like it! Have a great day I'm off to nap write a research paper! Hugs!
