This feature stands to the side of our fireplace.
The basket usually holds twigs for kindling.
But the base is a very special pot.
My aunt collected small instruments used in her first years of nursing and fixed them to this pot.
They are linked together with a pearl necklace worn by her sister who died of diabetes at the age of 21.
Then she sprayed it all in gold.
An unusual idea that I treasure!
The final product is about 60 years old!

So beautiful, Gemma, the photo and the treasured pot. What a cool idea!!!!!
Great shadows and the story behind the pot is so special. A quite interesting idea for the pot as well, very creative. Glad you shared it with us!
Happy Sunday!

What a unique way to assemble treasures! I am a HUGE fan of baskets, I use them everywhere.
Very nice composition of wonderful stuff by the fireplace. Also love that natural light and shadow.
Cheers on this Tuesday morning, Gemma!
So many textures in this photo;
