Basket

Okay, so a wicker basket could not be located, but I did manage to find a willow one, which is the next best thing. I bought it new, so it was all shiny looking, which I didn't want. 

So I had to age it, sandpaper and bleach wouldn't have worked in this case, so I simply got some mud brown paint and randomly rubbed it all of the willow, just to dirty it up a bit. 

   Very quick, easy and effective!

Naww! I put all the props together and took a picture. I am happy with it so far, and think it will look good in a photo shoot of the home front, however I do think that it looks a bit empty inside a needs more food, so that's what I will do!
