An old basket, some chalk paint & 20 minutes!!

I'm hoping to post a little bit of fall decor a few times a week this season...

Today it's BASKET makeover day!!  

I decided to revive a couple of baskets with some Annie Sloan French Linen and

 Americana Decor Everlasting...

It couldn't have been any quicker or easier...

Take a peek at the first one...

the before...
orangey and a bit dated!!

I used my MUCH LOVED Annie Sloan French Linen as the base and then did a quick dry brush of the Americana Decor Everlasting on top...

It's APPLE SEASON here in the Hudson Valley!!

Make sure to stop back tomorrow to see 

BASKET MAKEOVER #2!!

APPLE PICKING: HUDSON VALLEY STYLE

A gorgeous Sunday in the Hudson Valley, NY made for a lovely day to enjoy our favorite apple farm:

 WEED ORCHARDS!!
  

Take a peek...

the flowers were amazing...

(I know this pic is too big on my blog, but just way too pretty to shrink it down...lol)

It's not all about the apples.....
we also picked
  peaches, concord grapes, cucumbers, tomatoes etc...

If you are in the area, 
be sure to stop by & get picking!!
