My new love is chocolate brown and pink. I decided to make a basket purely brown and pink. I needed a basket and found this produce basket at Goodwill for $1. ![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgrZ5xDmpzAeNxMHTgMca_bQPQtDZq1bTBB4xe-EE8mWCXTC5ftSvUXqAK97NNJ9tDS-C8vupjcu3DvidxrjPeg4sXYmpbEc1ks9antsTAfN7kLyklHWH0wDZrR1BsCuo7ycz6Xzz38Dlvz/s400/DSC06361.JPG)
After a few coats of brown spray paint, I had this lovely basket...I removed the metal handle so it wouldn't get painted...then I painted the handle a bright bubble gum pink. Really cute and trendy too!![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQ4qxI8QtyaShfdJy3hyphenhyphenz2vIq15nzYmadQAZulMK71HTmRHD3wzURwP3C6LehGHiKWRlQ9qDkQtHV5DMec26KF3FM9s9fY55BcpVeUo6FHSDOXxqoTPS0fmUtD6uo3hXA-WgNAtWAQTrJs/s400/DSC06362.JPG)
Then I filled it with all things pink and brown. Some of those things I made, some of them I purchased. I made this note pad out of chip board and scrapbook paper and a paper clip/clamp. My sister Sarah showed me some of these notepad holders on Etsy and I soon crafted my own (in pink and brown of course).
I made some note cards with a friend's Cricut machine (Thanks Julie!) and they turned out so cute I may need to buy this basket back!

I serged around two yards of brown and pink fleece from Hobby Lobby and tied it up with a ribbon for a fleece throw. I also found the little brown box in front of the basket at Hobby Lobby and it was 89 cents (90% off clearance late this summer)

ellen...i am sending mom strict orders to bid on it for me!!!
Beautiful! It should bring a great price with pink and brown so popular, plus what you have in there.
Necklace and keychain are on their way to join the basket!
