Vintage French Wine Crate....

                     Oh how I love flea market season....to find an old , well used treasure is so much more exciting than buying new..don't you think?  
                          Like this old french wine crate I spotted last weekend...I was afraid it was going to be out of  my budget but for $20 I knew it was MINE !!!!
                   For now it holds some of my favorite linens and tea towels on the island..but I can picture it full of many things...flowers...spices....herbs...bottles....
                 Whatever it holds I love it.....hope your day is filled with things that make you happy!

    I agree. That piece is very versatile! I love the words on it and the richness of the wood.

    I would say it is a great find Chrissy. I have a similar box, but not early as lovely. It has held everything over the past 20 years, I never tire of it. Enjoy yours!

    ooohhh! It's perfect! We don't really have flea markets here so I'm always jealous when I see all the neat things people find.

    Happy Spring!

    hi Chrissy!! That crate will be moved in so many places I'm sure...I use my French champagne crate currently in the entry to hold a few light blankets for those chilly evenings (or so I wish :)

    xo+blessings,
