Americana Decor on the Old Washstand and a Handmade Basket from 1840 Farm

We have an old English pine wash stand that was our very first antique bought 21 years ago. I love all the old tiles that are still intact and unbroken.  We love to dress it up with a little Americana.


I have been wanting a handmade fabric egg basket from 1840 Farm for a while so I decided to order one in red,
 white and blue.



Jenn lives on a fifth generation farm in Dover, New Hampshire. I even love the little tag so I left it on to dress it up.


Buying old and handmade objects just appeals to me. The little basket will be cherished and passed down.


You can see Jenn's egg baskets and other handmades at her Etsy shop. You know I think Jenn is living my life up there on her New England farm. Have always felt I was meant to live there.

    That basket is so pretty. My husband and I saw some like that the other day - I live in NH too - I wonder if they were her baskets?? Now I wish I'd bought one! I'll have to check out her Etsy shop. Thanks for sharing.
