Goodwill Picnic Basket French Style Upcycle

This unfinished picnic basket is one of my Goodwill Black Friday finds in the Twin Cities.

It was in great condition!

It had a little shelf inside to create two layers in the picnic basket. (Update: A reader informed me that this is a pie basket. I didn't know!)

Framed Stenciled Canvas Farmhouse Kitchen Decor

I purchased three Artist's Loft 12" x 12" square canvases at Michael's on Black Friday in the Twin Cities.  These canvases were 70% off, so I paid about $4 each.

I base coated the three canvases with Dixie Belle Chalk Finish Paint in Caviar using a cheap foam brush.

Regal Upcycle For A Thrift Shop Serving Tray

 I found this tray last week at the thrift shop for $4.

I was attracted to the floral carvings on the tray ends.
