This past weekend I sold my french table set that I shared with you.I added a few more pieces to my space and then sold those as well.I did not even have a chance to take photos to share.I am low on furniture inventory so today I need to get out and shop for some things to paint.I have a few small pieces I will work on.But I need some larger pieces too!
Today I wanted to share a tote on found recently at a local antique shop.
LOVE this old tool tote! I am showing this on my farmhouse kitchen table but I am using it in my family room on our blanket chest.I want to paint that…… yes I know I want to paint more.I have not had time to paint that yet.It looks so much better against this white table.
I added some vintage books that I took the covers off.
LOVE those little white gourds too!Fresh from our farmers market.An old milk bottle found at a thrift store.
I need to add some flowers to that bottle!
And what is that on top of my books?A lavender sachet from Maria at Dreamy Whites.
This smells heavenly! I received this sachet with my order that I placed for this French Market Bag. I have not had time to photograph it yet.I am thrilled with this basket! I am using it today at the market and will come in handy on road trips or fun days out! And looks great just hanging on my ladder!
I also found a gathering basket I will share soon.It found a place in my kitchen!
What are you up to today?

Great tote, Anne! I always check them out when I see them at the thrift store or the local antique mart. Keeping in mind that they can be made over {because some of them you wouldn’t look twice at}. This one looks great on your table and I like how you accessorized it.
Love the tote and her sachets do smell wonderful. Ann at Sutton Place designs has nice ones, too. I am glad these ladies make them.
I have Leila today so that is what I am doing and must get the party post done for tonight.
Once the painting bug bites, it’s hard to stop! I really like that table you did! And I love your tote! Very pretty. Isn’t it nice when you get a little something extra with your online orders? The sachet is so cute!
Have a great week, Anne!
XO,

Sooo pretty! I wouldn’t paint it. The way you have it all dressed up is just stunning!
Jeanine
What a great tote! And your decorations look amazing – lovely job 🙂 Enjoy your day!

You know me, I love my lavender, this sachet is great and the pumpkins look wonderful along with that tray.

I just love those old wood totes! I’ve got mine on our dining room table, but it’s still got the pinecones from last winter in it. I better pick up some mini pumpkins before they’re all gone!
What a great piece! I’d keep it, too. Anne, your styling is so nice. I’m glad to hear your shop is doing so well! Hope you find some great, cheap pieces to make beautiful!

I have a weakness for totes, so I love it, Anne. Let’s see, I’m still playing with clay, and frowning at the two remaining walls in my living room that are yet to be painted.
YAY for you that your inventory is moving! That’s a good thing but I know it must keep you busy. I love your tote and the way you have it accessorized. Enjoy your evening and don’t work too hard, Gail
The pumpkins and books look so perfect in that tote. Trays, baskets, anything like that just makes unrelated items look great together.
Love the tote…..beautiful vignette!!!!

Those little white pumpkins are so cute. I couldn’t find those at my market but I wanted them. I love that tote too.
Hi Anne,
Great tote, and I love all the goodies tucked inside!
Bella
I completely understand about the “painting bug”! Ha! I love your little wooden tool caddy. It reminds me of those berry crates I’ve seen around. I like how you filled it up with old books and mini pumpkins too.
So Pretty love your pics

I have a tote like that and cannot figure out what to do with it because it is shallow and not practical. i never considered using it as a decoration! love your idea! thank you.
Thanks Anne for your visit and your comment

Such a cute tote, and I love how you filled it!

Your display looks so nice! That is a great find and the little white pumpkins are adorable!
I love all the pretty treasures you added to your tote, so fresh looking. I really does look so nice against your light colored table. Very nice as always!
LOVE it! the milk bottle is a cute touch.

I love totes myself and do have a few! I love your tote vignette, very pretty. I picked up a lavender sachet at September’s 3 French Hens Market in Morris. Our tote’s are very similar!
I get so many good ideas for my own home here on your blog! Thanks so much for sharing them!
