Little galvanized buckets
with darling little tags
I love galvanized anything as accents
especially when it has that lovely muted chalky finish
that comes with weather or age
These were recent Home Goods finds for $2.99.
I was originally thinking of them in the bathroom
in the French armoire to hold toothbrushes, hair stuff, etc.
They came with darling little metal butterfly tags
but I had a different idea for them that involved a little chalkboard paint
So I flipped them over and used Duck Egg blue chalk paint
for a little change from the usual black
I love how they came out.
The blue is soft & works perfectly with the silver.
Wrap a little twine around them to finish them.
I love them together~
perfect for a little ‘This and That’
or maybe an ‘Etc’
or
a Merry Christmas wish with a little bottlebrush tree.
that would be perfect for gift giving this Season.
Fill one with cookie makings, teacher supplies,
sachets or even some flower bulbs or a favorite bloom
Loving it.

These are so sweet. I love galvanized anything, new and old. The duck egg blue is a perfect change from the standard chalk board paint.
Very clever and so pretty.
