A few weeks ago while thrifting I came across this pretty basket...
It's a vintage silver basket .......probably, the verde could be cleaned up some but I like it the way it is.......a pretty green plant or a bouquet of flowers.....I think it has many possibilities........what do you think?-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Maybe you need a laugh today......I thought this was hilarious.......bless the senior citizens......'cause I am one!
time. Every day 5, 10, 15 minutes late, but he was a good worker, real
sharp, so the Boss was in a quandary about how to deal with it. Finally,
one day he called him into the office for a talk.
"Charley, I have to tell you, I like your work ethic, you do a bang up
job, but your being late so often is quite bothersome."
"Yes, I know Boss, and I am working on it."
"Well good, you are a team player. That's what I like to hear. It's odd
though, your coming in late. I know you're retired from the Air Force.
What did they say if you came in late there?"
"They said, "Good morning, General."

Oh that is a great find, Betty. You must show it again after you decide for sure what will go in it.
I like that you didn't shine it up!

Hi Betty, this is a great find. I like it just as is too, I see it with a pretty Ivy plant. Good morning General...to cute:). Hugs, Linda
Hello Betty! Cute basket. I wonder how it looked in it's "heyday?"
I can see pink flowers in there....
I envision your basket sitting on the porch next to a rocker or swing with some pretty geraniums in it! Very cute!

PS
I'm sending that joke to my POP who will get tickled when he reads it!

I like the basket just as it is! It has more character than a shiny new silver one!
I totally forgot S&T today! Somehow I lost a day, oh well, I'll just enjoy everybody else's S&T!
Cute joke!

"Good Morning General!" HAH! That was great. Love the basket. I could see it in the bathroom with some pretty towels, hand soaps and maybe a nice bottle of lotion. Jen
Actually, I have revised my comment. I can see it sitting in MY bathroom....LOL! Jennifer
That is a nice bucket and would do well for any kind of plant or flowers.
Love the "funny"!
Betty, I think I need a lesson in your "thrifting" for such lovely finds! Either of your ideas would be great.
Cute basket, I have just the spot for that in my house.
Thanks for the chuckle.
Hi Betty! What a great find! Oh...it would look wonderful on my front steps full of pink flowers...hehe Can't wait to see what you fill it with, I know it will be beautiful.

It always amazes me what people give away to thrift shops...how wonderful that you were lucky enough to find this silver basket, it sure is gorgeous! Like the others have said, you must show us what you end up putting in it:-) xox
Your silver basket is gorgeous!Love it!
Oh, Betty I love your pretty silver basket, can't wait to see what you do with it, so many options.
Hugs,

Betty,
The basket is absolutely lovely. It will look beautiful with a plant in it or even a bouquet. It's a great find.
Went thrifting today but didn't find anything that caught my eye. A bit disappointing. I was looking for old postcards and rustic containers for my garden. I will find some though. I always start looking early.
Loved the joke about the W*l Mart greeter.
Michelle is home. She came home yesterday and Brandon is keeping a good eye on his mother. Thanks for your prayers and kind words.
Blessings,

I love your basket. I think it will look absolutly lovely with a green plant in it. Will you keep it indoors? - Just wondering. Thanks for the smile - with the Walmart story. Too good.
Blessings,

Lovely silver basket! I could
see some grass and a pretty
bird in it! I'll have to send
the joke on to my neighbors,
I know they'll like it!
PS: Was I supposed to send award
on to others? If yes how many people?
What a great find!!!!!
I love the basket, and I agree with the other ladies that it would look beautiful with flowers in it. I also love the joke, it bring back some good military days. Katie

Oh boy, I'd like to get my hands on that beautiful basket. Trying to think wha twould look best - a real dark green leaf. Hmmm... small or large leaves. Flowers? What fun, Betty. The story is a riot.

I'm glad you took part in the S&T again this week. The basket will probably be so beautiful with spring flowers!
And the silly story was quite a laugh! Thanks for sharing.
Good joke Betty!!
Hi Betty,
What a beautiful basket. I'd love to see pictures when you add flowers!
That is such a cute joke.
Hugs,
Hope

I like your pretty little basket, and I absolutely loved the humor. That senior was the boss back in those days, lol. Cute one.
Fabulous silver bucket! Would be super cute with hand towels rolled up in it in a bathroom~
Super funny story about the sticker guy at walmart...I'll never look at those guys the same now lol
Love this basket...beautiful!
And I so enjoyed that cute story at the end! :D
Stop by if you can...speaking of late, I was late posting my show and tell yesterday! ;)
Hi Betty,
I hope you are having a nice weekend!

I love that basket! That was quite a find! How pretty that will be with some spring blooms.
I did get a chuckle out of the Wal-Mart story, and on a Monday that's a good thing. Thanks
