I love those dollar tree tiles! I did the same as you and painted them except I used 4. Hung it in my husband’s office. I also used some as a backdrop for a Christmas wreath; it looks beautiful.
The basket is very cute, but I believe the leather straps go under the wood divider in the middle. I think it will help to leave the lid in place while opening it.
I am a new viewer to your posts. I really do like your ideas. My favorites today are the framed patina tile and the basket. I love the fact that you did not want to take away the charm of that basket and I think Dale would be proud. Lol In your last video I really loved the metal tin with the bulbed flowers from the thrift planter you bought. Great job!!
Love Dale’s basket and that you kept it original. I’m thinking it is a lunch pail…from the good days when writing your name on your stuff (even just your first name) was enough that no one would take it. Maybe Dale has lots of brothers and sisters and this was Moms way of keeping the lunch pails straight.
I would make that basket into a purse with a cute removable fabric liner. I've got a basket purse that I use every summer. It's 30 years old and people still compliment me on it; some try to buy it.
I love that basket! I grew up on a farm in the South and I’ve never seen one with a lid like that. We had a bunch of those kind of baskets, in all sizes and some with lids made from the same material as the basket, but have never seen a lid like that. Also, FYI: if you place a Walmart type plastic bag, wad it up and stuff it on top of your spackle, it will keep it moist forever. Sometimes, when I know I’m going to use it, I’ll take the bag out and close it up for about an hour before use. But, I’m telling you it really works. Got that advice from an old painting contractor!
Just happened to find you. Love what you do. I'm glad to see another person who walks into a thrift store or yard sale and sees all the treasures "that can be". Good job!
I have really enjoyed both of these videos!!🎉 It has been fun to see your creative process with your thrift finds.😊 I'm glad you kept the basket natural.👍
I really enjoyed both of your thrifted videos ❤. Love everything you done. I would have definitely left the basket in it's original state too, I love it!
I love the basket! I love how to put items in it also! You have a heart of gold thinking of the guy who owned it! Thanks for sharing! I enjoy your flps!
Hi Emily! Fun video!! I was thinking the whole time you were talking about the basket that Dale got rid of it hisself, brought it to the thrift store. 19:46
When I was in high school, I had a purse in the exact same size and shape as your basket. The wood was finished properly, and The sides were woven with wood and cord. The middle piece of the top was attached and was also connected with leather pieces. I could open either side. It was awkward to carry around, particularly to school, but I had the only one in the world. I can still hear the sound it made when the lid dropped closed.
I’m thinking the top of your basket is similar to the color mine was. Perhaps it came from a similar purse that was broken and a mom found that it fit on a bushel basket and put it together for her daughter. The time was 1962.
Dale was my great uncle & a life long bachelor so my great grandmother always put homemade goodies & things in that basket for whenever Uncle Dale would visit (he was her baby & she was always "taking care of him") she'd send it home with him. I'd give you what I consider a small fortune to have that basket back!!!! (All of that is a lie trying to get your basket Emily. But I DO LOVE that basket...lol. I don't think I can pick a favorite from last video or this one. You do such amazing things. GREAT job my friend 💕. I am glad you held off on painting Dale's (whoever Dale is 🙃) basket until you maybe gather more info on it. My great Aunt for real had something similar but not quite that same thing so maybe that's why it struck a cord with me. I do know hers was VERY old & that was years ago. I'd love to know if you ever find out any info on that though...just curious. Sorry for rambling on with a fib 🙃🫣.
It is a farmers market basket I think that’s what it’s called. I think you got a good deal on it. I believe they are about $50. I’ve seen people use them as picnic baskets or sewing baskets. Great find and great episode as always!
If I were guessing, I'd say that was originally an old sewing basket. I believe that there should be a tack or brad though each of the 2 straps that join the 2 lids together that would go into that center piece of wood. It sort of mimics a hinge. From what I can tell, all the leather straps, might be replacements, but it is difficult to say for sure from the video.
The bushel basket - I had a purse like this and then repurposed it into storage for my craft paints. I love the way you styled it. I really like the riser you made, too. Thanks for the inspiration.
I always love to see how others pick items to flip and what they morph those items into. Love the mystery challenges as well. All are so inspirationally creative.!🥰
At paper mills and other factories, men often had a traditional lunch container that they ALL carried. In the 80s, a big strike at one mill caused replacement workers to brave the lines to work. They switched to the plastic coolers. That basket looks like it might have been a lunch basket.
Love all your ideas, such great inspiration! Only Natalie wants something to look dirty! lol… AND, Carla really had me going with that fib. Shame on you Carla! lol but that was a great story.
Part 2, like Part 1 did not disappoint! I loved the riser you made. I saw on another video a while ago, another creator used the little wooden snowmen you can buy at Dollar Tree as the feet on a riser. I made one using them. The base is wood so I used some antiquing wax on it and the little snowmen. I attached them upside down and you can't tell what they were. I think the little wooden angels would also work (although you would have to remove their wings). As for Dale, I'm thinking it was a basket full of goodies and given to them as a house warming gift. Maybe? Who knows! ☺

Just found your channel! Ty for the fun great ideas! See you soon. 🇨🇦
I love the picture frame with the patina. What is the brand name of the patina you are using?
Love how you styled the basket!
Great choice on the basket.
You do amazing work
That basket is a score! I don't know a thing about it, except it is a great find. Thanks for honoring Dale!
I would have done the same with the basket 🤗.
The basket is very cute, but I believe the leather straps go under the wood divider in the middle. I think it will help to leave the lid in place while opening it.
So glad u left the basket intact. My first thought was a picnic basket. Reading other comments I bet it was a lunch pail. Love what u do.

I love the tin tile frame. I just love those tiles.

my first instinct was lunch pail as well ! I'm glad it was kept as is, cuz frankly I think the milk paint trend/fad is now already outdated.
The book in your basket needs a beautiful bookmark!😊
Great idea!!
I would make that basket into a purse with a cute removable fabric liner. I've got a basket purse that I use every summer. It's 30 years old and people still compliment me on it; some try to buy it.
Love the basket ❤❤😊
Very nice flips.😀👍👍👍

I would have left the basket as you did. Beautifully done❤
My guess would be a basket for picking apples or peaches.....maybe. Looks similar to baskets at the road side fruit stand.
Just happened to find you. Love what you do. I'm glad to see another person who walks into a thrift store or yard sale and sees all the treasures "that can be". Good job!
Wonderful. I'm loving your channel ❤
I love the basket. You made it beautiful.
Hi..we had one and my mom used it as a picnic basket, when we would go for a family drive.
Love the basket too
Yes Emily that basket was beautiful love the way you did it keep it up❤
I made the same thing and painted it white and then rusted it. In the center I put a cast iron medallion. And the frame is also black. 😊
I like the basket and flower pot.
You are really really really good. I love the way you explain things and show them and I'm excited I found your channel. Take care, Janet.
Thank you so much!
I love the basket. I would not paint it it is very pretty like you staged it.
Love the basket! I would not have painted it. Great job on all the flips.
Oh i smile every time you go on with your crafty stories. Dont ever stop! Tfs ❤
I liked it all. You are giving me such great ideas! Thanks!
I have really enjoyed both of these videos!!🎉 It has been fun to see your creative process with your thrift finds.😊 I'm glad you kept the basket natural.👍
My fav was the dirt stained flower pot.
I really enjoyed both of your thrifted videos ❤. Love everything you done. I would have definitely left the basket in it's original state too, I love it!
Very unique basket I love it!
I always enjoy watching you craft and putting your spin on the items! Thanks,
Love that you left the basket and it looks so beautiful.
I love what you did with the basket!
Love all !❤❤❤
I love the basket! I love how to put items in it also! You have a heart of gold thinking of the guy who owned it! Thanks for sharing! I enjoy your flps!
I'm glad you just cleaned up and styled the basket - not everything needs to be painted.
Yes more of these please!
I enjoyed both episodes. I hope you do more of these. 😊
Me too! These were great!
I love what you did with the basket. I would have done the same
Lol love the story 😊
Im loving your thrift flips. More please 😊😁
I love the flower pot and basket. I would have made the same choice with the basket.
Hi Emily! Fun video!! I was thinking the whole time you were talking about the basket that Dale got rid of it hisself, brought it to the thrift store. 19:46
Mist your spackle with water it will be ok. Love these flips!
Love the basket. And i am glad you didnt pant it.
The only basket similar to what you showed was a sewing basket. It makes me think of a lunch basket from prairie days, but I did not find that online.
I also love the bushel basket.
I think you made the right decision on not paint that basket! I love it❤
I absolutely love all your thrift flips! Fun video part 1 and 2! My favorite is Dales basket! 🥰❤️
I'm new to your channel and o absolutely love the thrift shopping then showing what you did with the items! Good job, you have great ideas!❤❤

Great projects, and really well don😊. The dirt in your garden is soooo dark not like mine yours must be really good 😂. Love from Australia 😊
Your thrift store has great items. Everything turned out so nice. You are so creative and I learn so much from you. Have a blessed evening.
The basket I have some Mickey Mouse dishes I would have turned it into a picnic basket 😊
I loved everything. Great job, Emily.
❤️❤️❤️

You would be an awesome story teller I love that story
You totally had me believing you. 😂😂😂
I love how the basket turned out and how you styled it!
I do enjoy these kinds of videos. I love what you did with all of these items. And I think Dale would approve!!! LOL... 😜👍😁🤗🤗
It is a farmers market basket I think that’s what it’s called. I think you got a good deal on it. I believe they are about $50. I’ve seen people use them as picnic baskets or sewing baskets. Great find and great episode as always!
Loved all your thrift store radios! Excited that I found you!
Great decision on the basket it looks awesome the way you embellished it!!!
Thank you! Loved Dale's basket! Very good ideas!
LOVE the bushel basket!
Really nice!❤
Terrific flips! I love the bushel basket❤
Emily, you really have such a keen eye. I love watching you craft.❤
Great job on Dale's basket. Which I think is a picnic basket!!
No paint for the bushel basket, its beautiful as is, I love how you styled it. Was Dales basket now its Emily's...😉🙂

Thank you so much. I love that you didn’t change the basket. Lives everything you did!
I love that you kept the basket as it was.
I really enjoyed this format!!! I think you made the right decision with the basket!
Great job ❤
Hi Emily. Very nice thrift flips. You are very creative. I just subscribed and look forward to your future videos. Thanks for sharing😊
Loved all the flips but the little Dale bucket so nicely decorated. 👏🌿☀️🌿👏
The bushel basket - I had a purse like this and then repurposed it into storage for my craft paints. I love the way you styled it. I really like the riser you made, too. Thanks for the inspiration.
Keep researching the basket and let us know, I felt that you did the right thing,
I always love to see how others pick items to flip and what they morph those items into. Love the mystery challenges as well. All are so inspirationally creative.!🥰
I like all your projects. I am glad you left the basket the way it was, although it would be cute painted as well.

Beautiful
What fun! I loved this thrift challenge. I always gain so much inspiration from you Emily and love watching you create.😊
Love all your ideas, such great inspiration! Only Natalie wants something to look dirty! lol… AND, Carla really had me going with that fib. Shame on you Carla! lol but that was a great story.
Love The way the baker turned out.
Wow you did a beautiful job on each piece from the thrift store. I really enjoy watching your videos. Thank you
Do you have a link for the beads you used on the riser for feet? Love everything. I am a riser lover also
Love the basket! Glad you left it as is.
I love how you styled the basket! I like the faux tile frame too - I have a similar frame that needs a refresh.
I love those tiles alsso
Part 2, like Part 1 did not disappoint! I loved the riser you made.

Love love love the basket! Thank you for sharing.
Enjoyed these projects as much as the first video. Thanks for all the inspiration and ideas😊
