Gingham Check

Where can I buy a cheap picnic basket online?

I'm looking for a picnic basket as a birthday present for my mom. It would preferably be a wicker-esque basket with handles and service for four (plates, silverware, etc). I would like for it to be lined with some kind of pretty cloth (gingham or just something nice). I was hoping to spend around $50 total (including tax and shipping) but on amazon and other websites, they all seem to go for close to $100 dollars! Where can I find a cheap but still nice picnic basket? I've checked ebay but didn't find anything for 'buy it now' that would work. I'm in Manhattan so I could even go to a store in the city if I had to.

I've seen tons of baskets on QVC. You can go online at www.qvc.com.

If you do purchase through QVC or any other online store, try going to and signing up at www.ebates.com first. I know QVC is on the ebates site and if you click the QVC link (or other company) through the ebates sight you will get a rebate for your purchase. The rebate for QVC is either 2% or 3%, can remember which but it will show you. You accumulate rebates & once a quarter ebates will send you a check. I've gotten close to $480 from ebates. You might as well earn some money back while shopping, right? You can even do a search on the ebates site to see if they have other vendors that sell wicker baskets online.

Good luck!

Graceful Cottage Hideaway For The Bedroom

Transform your bedroom into a loving hideaway full of the beauty and grace of a sweet cottage garden. Individual touches, definitive cottage details, and blends of materials and patterns prompted by a quaint English garden blend together to make the ideal spot for lovers. The following hints can be utilized to help form your bedroom retreat.

Light and Cozy

Create the ideal cottage backdrop for your bedroom with luxuriously textured walls. Wallpaper featuring broad pastel stripes or florals provide the idyllic patterned backdrop. Or, try classical cottage wainscot or beaded board finished in a creamy tone of white. Run the wallpaper half way up the wall and top it off with a small shelf. Top the shelf with garden themed collectibles, vases, and plates.

Linens and Furniture

The centerpiece or focal point of the room will be the bed, whether it is constructed of natural wood, forged iron, or covered with cloth. A striped dust ruffle can be topped with a floral or a double wedding-ring quilt or a fancy coverlet. Mix up fabrics such as chenille, lace and cotton quilts and perpetually layer patterns when building romantic cottage style. Of course you will want to use some floral patterns, but also mix in stripes, tartans and checks. Selecting colors with the same hue saturation will pull it all together. Light or lightly colored walls will impart a stand out feel to accents and bedding. If you picked out floral wall paper, striped and tartan patterns, gingham checks and solids will coordinate if accent colors are drawn in. You can even mix different floral patterns if they are related by color and style.

Try a unique look in the room by angling the bed in a corner. Go against the grain and moderate the lines of the bedroom with furniture that has smooth curved lines.

Add Romanticism with Garden Fresh Accents

* Make your vanity a one-of-a-kind personal statement by layering on old-fashioned white table dressings. Other accessories to choose from include a collection of heirloom photographs, silver champagne glasses filled with roses, and a silver jewelry box.

* An assortment of straw hats or hat boxes and floral plates make good accessories to go with your garden ambience. Set a straw hat on a hat stand on a corner table and hang other hats and plates behind it to make a multi-dimensional grouping. Fill a teapot or sugar bowl with your preferred blooms.

* Details matter. Dry lavendar hanging in bunches from a glass knobbed closet or room door is a good touch. Set a collection of floral and striped hat boxes on the top of an armoire. Place topiary on a chest of drawers. Don't neglect scents to coordinate with your theme; potpourri and candles in floral fragrances work well.

* Bring in architectural pieces from days gone by for terrific touches. Suggestions include an antiquated wrought iron fence grating makes a different focal point on a wall or as a headboard; perch antiquated birdhouses atop work posts for a whimsical statement in a corner.

* Make the feel clearly personal by repurposing garden items in the bedroom. Include a plant stand in a reading nook to hold cherished books as well as a few plants. Transform a large urn or other container with a glass top to repurpose it as a side table or night stand. Transform a finished flower pot into a charming candle holder.

* Bring in alfresco decor such as a statuary or a bird bath. A tabletop fountain can be placed in a birdbath to bring the comforting sound of lightly cascading water.
