Buckets of flowers

I went out on Sunday looking for storage containers for a shelving unit I had painted on Saturday*. I was really hoping to find something in the dollar stores because I need 27 (!!) baskets for the storage shelf.

Wandering around Deals I found a bucket full of these tiny pink buckets. They are meant for baby shower favors, and they are only about 2 inches tall. I HAD to have them. Never mind that I had no idea what to do with them. (I think I bought 12 of them for $5.)
Then I had the brilliant idea to fill them with all of these millinery flowers I have been collecting (cough, hoarding).

I stuck them in Styrofoam so they will withstand the cats a little a better. I hope.
They are also hanging on the feather tree, which is filling up with Easter goodness!

* I have been painting for 6 days straight now. Maybe 7. Today it was 75 degrees and I had the windows open. I can hear everything that everyone walking by the house is saying and I heard the following today - "They just redid that whole house. I REALLY hope they are going to paint that."

HAHAHA! First of all, how rude!

Second, paint what??

In hindsight, I am pretty sure they meant my front door. The neighbors HATE my bright aqua door. I suppose it offends their delicate sensibilities. Ha.

And no, I won't be painting it. And no, it isn't primer.

And yes, I do hang my tablecloths on the garage door.

Welcome to the neighborhood!
