I'll leave you with a little Note Song~
A Tisket A Tasket
A-tisket A-tasket
A brown and yellow basket
I send a letter to my mommy
On the way I dropped it
I dropped it
I dropped it
Yes on the way I dropped it
A little girlie picked it up
And put it in her pocket
SHE WAS TRUCKIN ON DOWN THE AVENUE
Not a single thing to do
She went peck peck pecking all around
When she spied it on the ground
She took it
She took it
My little yellow basket
And if she doesn't bring it back I think that I will die
A-tisket A-tasket
I lost my yellow basket
And if that girl don't return it
I don't know what I'll do
Oh dear I wonder where my basket can be
(So do we, so do we, so do we, so do we, so do we)
Oh geez I wish that little girl I could see
(So do we, so do we, so do we, so do we, so do we)
Oh why was I so careless with that basket of mine?
That itty bitty basket was a joy of mine!
A-tisket
A-tasket
I lost my yellow basket
Won't someone help me find my basket
And make me happy again? again
(Was it green?) No, no, no, no
(Was it red?) No, no, no, no
(Was it blue?) No, no, no, no
Just a little yellow basket
A little yellow basket

Oh Sheila that is so sweet! At least you admit you are a copy cat...I really get annoyed at copy cats that do not admit it:):)! Love that blue...great job copying! Debbie
ReplyDeleteand I bet BJ is flattered as can be!
Don't you just love being inspired by other bloggers--I love it!!!
ReplyDeleteLove it, looks great! That cute tea towel fabric caught my eye right away-have fun!
ReplyDeleteI love your little basket too..very cute! I love the S&P's too and the tea towel is just my style...have fun picnicking! :D
ReplyDeleteI love that color and the little vignette you put together is so cute. That little hand towel you made is adorable!! I love it when I get inspired by others and I think it's great you acknowledge where the idea came from! Now what color Teal and what kind of paint, cause I might have 'copycat' that also!!
ReplyDeleteI see teal is becoming very popular in home decor. Your basket is lovely! Enjoy the inside picnic...I totally understand the too hot thing!!
ReplyDeleteThe highest form of flattery is to be copy cat...l.o.l. I love the color you chose. I have the exact chair your basket sit on in a child's size, except it has a needle-pointed seat.
ReplyDeleteYour basket turned out gorgeous and I love your vignette. How cute is that. Hope you have a great picnic and a super Sunday. Hugs, Marty
ReplyDeleteWow Sheila, I may have to copy the copycat!hehe I've got a basket like yours up in the top of the closet too. I love your basket and your vignette.

Good Morning Sheila Sweetie...
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful job you have done. I love the basket in teal. The pitcher delightful. What better thing to go with the basket than a fish? You have put together a beautiful vignette. I adore the little tea towel. So festive.
Thank you for sharing today. I just love it.
Country hugs sweetie...Sherry
I love it! Isn't it wonderful to have such creative friends to borrow pretty ideas from? I'm on a mission since I am decorating and setting up over here :)
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Dena
Hi Sheila

Shelia, I love it! I think it's as cute as can be. And I love your little fishy pitcher with it and your cute accoutrements (as Bill would say(. That's a great color, too. Just love the whole vignette!
ReplyDeleteHappy Blue Monday (a little early)!
XO,
Sheila :-)
Beautiful transformaton, Shelia! I love the tealness color. I know you are very talented. The tea towel you made is so pretty!...Christine
ReplyDeleteHi Sheila
ReplyDeleteJust popping by for some (late) PS fun, but am glad that I got to read this sweet post too. Love the teal color - very cheery! Love the pitcher in your last post - yumm!
I'm your newest follower my friend!
Stop by if you have the time!
Leann
I LOVE the little tea towel you made! Adore that rick rack! I love basket that color and your vignette is so pretty! Getting inspired by other bloggers is the best thing about blogging!
ReplyDeleteManuela
I love your picnic basket, Shelia. As soon as I saw your title I heard Ella's voice. She was amazing!!
ReplyDeleteHi Shelia!
ReplyDeleteI can't think of anyone nicer to copy that BJ! That girl knows how to inspire creativity. She puts on a spread like no other and her sense of humor is contagious.
And your sense of humor is so much fun. I love your sweet basket and fish jug.
hugs

Getting inspiration from other bloggers is what is so much fun in this blogging world. Trish
ReplyDeleteYou did an amazing paint job on that basket..! I adore the utensils with colored handles. Bloggers inspire me so much.
ReplyDeleteJane T.
WELL....WOO HOONESS, Shelia, my darlin'...
ReplyDeleteThis basket is just precious in it's new tealness of color. My goodness, I am so happy you did this 'cause now you will just LOVE that little basket and use it a lot, probably.
I am pretty sure MR. PRECIOUS is going to take you on a picnic by the sea and you must fix some fried chicken, wrapped in a red and white checked napkin...I know you must do this because I see it in all the olden movies...he will give you flowers and you will burst into song and then you will both dance in a field of flowers...OH MY..I have completely lost my train of thought...see what BLUE PICNIC BASKETS can do to one !! :))
Really a precious little tea towel, too.
xo bj
Shelia, I love how the basket turned out. That shade of blue is so pretty. I also love your fish jug...very cute. I can't help but notice that carved chair. My parents had one just like it when I was growing up. Of course, yours is prettier because you recovered the seat in such a pretty plaid...love it!
ReplyDeleteJane
I like to be a copy cat, too. Your basket is adorable. Makes me want to go on a picnic.
ReplyDeleteJanet
Shelia, I love that little teal basket!!! I have a basket that I think is just like it!!! hhhhhhnmmmm Love the fish jug and tea towel...so cute!!! Have a wonderful week !!!
ReplyDeleteI love the color of the basket. So Summery. I also love that plate. The pattern is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteLove the color and the tea towel is just perfect for this pretty picnic basket!

Cute vignette and now you have me loving that color too!
ReplyDeleteYour teal basket is so pretty and you have quite the picnic planned. I just might have to copycat, too. Have a wonderful week!
ReplyDeleteSo now the song is "A tisket a tasket, my teal and yellow basket?"
ReplyDeleteOk! I can handle that! I certainly can! :)
I love it and I would have copied her too had I seen it..however...I'm gonna copy you instead! :) I LOVE it and I
love you too, Shelia!!
Mona
Sheila, you are such a good copycatter. That is a new word. I love the teal color you used to change the basket. I love the vignette you created, too. Have a super week, my friend.
ReplyDeleteOf course you ❤ BJ's basket; it's blue! Teal blue at that--the "new" color.
ReplyDeleteYour basket looks brand new with her makeup on. Good going, Mrs. Creativeness.
Happy Blue Monday!
Shelia, lovely country basket, indeed! It truly speaks of life in the slow lane... and I love the color too! Thanks for participating in our "Show Off Your Cottage Monday" and bringing us here.
ReplyDeleteHave a happy week dear one!
Cielo
Great color and cute little vignette.
ReplyDeleteHi Shelia
ReplyDeleteMy shoes are on and I'm ready for a picnic!
I really love the colour of your basket now and it matches so well with the towel and s/p shakers too.
Like what you did with the gurgle fish jug too. Nice colour.
I sure hope you have fun at the picnic before I make it there..
*hugs*
Judi
Love the new color. I have the very same blonde boring picnic basket. However, it's dishes go toward red. Hmmmm, Maybe......

You picked a good one to copy after. BJ is a just one of the nicest and talented bloggers I know. She is something else and so is your basket.
ReplyDeleteSheila your "copy cat" basket turned out just lovely. What a good feeling to take something you weren't using and make it all new again. Your vignette makes me want to go on a picnic in the park!
ReplyDeleteHi Shelia, this is Shelia ;) enjoyed todays post. I enjloy tablescaping also, but do not have all the beautiful things you have. But people always comment, on the way my table is dressed.

I must confess that I too am a copy cat. I always try to add just a little something extra so that it won't be an exact match. What hubby built this weekend was a copycat too. I posted about it. Hope you will come visit.
ReplyDeleteLove your basket. Hmmmm maybe one would look good on my new potting bench.
Paint--what a wonder it is! The basket turned out as cute as can be.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy using it!
looks like you are ready for a picnic! teehee.. so much fun.. picnic in the summer but with heat wave..errr.. we better play house inside our own home.. teehee.. btw your picnic basket is pretty after the spray paint. btw I have one like yours but had it painted in white with skirt lining inside.. teehee.. now we must find some picnic area.. can we?! teehee..
ReplyDeleteWell you know what they say..."Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery." Great job! Thanks for visiting my blog. To answer your question, I live in Birmingham.
ReplyDeleteHi sheila, don't let me shock you at my late comment. I should be in bed I know. We have company still and I was just plum worn out and fell asleep on the couch half the night. So what do i do? Visit my dearest blogging friends. That would be you.
ReplyDeleteThe picnic basket is lovely in teal. Your idea 'borrowed' is a great one. I know BJ would love what you did. Now it is all prettied up you should go on a picnic. Make sure the paint is dry. BIG smile. Love that fish and the sweet towel.
Hugs, Jeanne
I have to agree, that sure is one gorgeous basket now! I love the tea towel too! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Jacalyn
I love your blog!! You are just darling! Seems like you really enjoy life.
ReplyDelete~Susan~
Just dropped by to say hi this week and see what you're up to -- it's always something fun and interesting. Good to see you over at Atticmag -- thanks! Jane F
ReplyDeleteI am liking everything about your "copycatness". Maybe I'll have to copy the copycat 'cause I have a plain old picnic basket too.
ReplyDeleteBest,
Bonnie
That tea towel is too cute! It does look like a 50's piece of fabric. I would have never thought to paint a picnic basket blue, but it looks awesome.
ReplyDeleteI too love that color blue. Great redo and I love those shakers also .
ReplyDeleteGwen:)
Great makeover! Looks like a great picnic, what are we having to eat??
ReplyDeletePerrrrrrrrfection!
ReplyDeletem ^..^
Love, love, love your 'new' basket! It's just perfect! Someone once told me that copying an idea is the highest compliment one can give. Had to think about it for awhile but I think they are right.
ReplyDelete~Adrienne~
I'm sure that BJ will take this as you were "inspired" by her darlin' picnic basket! Love the color of both of y'all's baskets!!! Love that little vintage cloth:)
