Becky's Vintage Flora Baskets.......

The basket above is a vintage funeral arrangement basket from years ago. My friend Becky,whose home I have shared here on my blog many times,has a collection of these baskets,and I have always loved them. In all my years of rambling through flea markets and the such...I haven't been lucky enough to find any,but have always admired Becky's. If you notice the base looks very much like a coffee can. And since my son has been so creative as of lately,I decided to ask him if he thought he might be able to make one  from a coffee can I had saved.

There are two more above in this picture of Becky's home. One is hanging with a plant in it! Its hard to see the handle,but its there.The ones below are much smaller and Becky says she believes these were used as wedding baskets.

And these below are my sons versions....I love them and think he did a wonderful job. He said it was a little hard welding the handles on because the cans were so thin. Burned a few little holes near the handles,but I smiled and told him,that just added more character to them. I think they turned out perfect!

The one below is made from a soup can...much smaller!

Hope your weekend is wonderful....blessings
