Dressed Up Bucket

This past weekend my daughter and I went to a craft show. This craft show was very different from many others I had attended because the crafts were so unique. I bought this beautiful fabric insert to put inside one of the three galvanized bucket I bought at an antique show a couple years ago. You are probably wondering why I would buy old buckets. My first reason was to use them when I get water from my rain barrel to water some plants. The other reason was to use them for storage.
As you can see I bought this bucket liner that was handmade by a crafter. Isn't this the cutest idea? The workmanship is great. It has lots of covered cord and I know from experience that it can be tricky to work with but the crafter is probably an expert.
The flap did not have the buttons on it. I thought it was a great place to display some of my vintage buttons. Pretty cute! if I say so myself!

If you would like to have your own dressed up bucket liner you can go to www.classiccampbell.com. Click on her Etsy site button on top near her banner name. She can personalize the flap with your name too.

With Passion,
Carrie P.
