Small Picnic Basket

I've been playing with my small thrifty picnic basket that I found at the Delray Beach GW.
(See my thrifty finds HERE.)
I'm trying to find a cute place to use it.
A place where I'll see it everyday.
My sugar and flour glass canisters just fit inside, and it still fits under the cabinet with it's lid open.
Because , as you know, when you spend $1.91, you want to get your money's worth!

Cheers!

    Wonderful idea -- also keeps some of the mess off the counter.

    That is a brilliant and cute idea!!! I was just thinking as I gathered up some of the bunnies.... what will I decorate next? I don't want to rush the patriotic because we have just a bit.... a picnic theme is cute... and spring fresh... I agree... that's just too expensive to waste! You are a savvy shopper I think... I have been making your cheese bread with the sour cream... I added Italian seasoning for a spaghetti casserole I took to a friend's house... I think I like the dill best, but it was a neat change...

    So cute. Ive always thought that picnic baskets were too good to stick in a cupboard. Thanks for the inspiration :-)

    Really cute idea...I don't have enuf room to display much on my counter
    tops...Pretty much just have the things I use every day.
    This looks really nice on your counter.

    What a really unique way to display your canister jars! I am amazed that the purchase price was under two bucks! :-) Sue

    Very cute idea for using your sweet picnic basket. I also like how you have used your plate stand to hold counter goodies, too. Two great ideas!
