Spray Painting a Goodwill Basket

a few months ago

martha stewart did a project

painting baskets

and I thought why not?

I found this old mexican basket

at a goodwill store for around

two dollars

the mexicans would walk the beaches all day

selling their wares for almost free

that was their favorite line to get you to buy whatever it was that they were selling

we always came home with a basket or two and jewelry

after a few cervesas

everything looked so pretty

especially on the beach

I used some old spray paint I had in our shed

to keep the cost on a cheap basket at a minimum

Don't you just love my designated spray painting area?

my hubby gave me strict orders that I could only spray paint in that area

I call my hubby

the spray paint whisperer

he can always tell when I have been spray painting

how does he do it?

I also call him

the dent whisperer

I put a little dent in his truck the other day

and can you believe he found it?
