Finished baskets!!

Same as both of you I also find it easier to pick up little bits more cheaply which keeps the costs of the baskets down in price aswell

Yeah thats the one, how cute are the little christmas trees? And yeah thats the cone, thankyou. Have you ever used the website you posted please. Bit wary about the net sorry!:j

sorry Chuchies, I haven't, but they also have a telephone number if you'd rather order by phone

i did try to buy an item just to get through the checkout to see whether there was a padlock at the till but my comp is playing up and won't let me open certain pages or is exceptionally slow. I'm sure that it's nothing to do with that website though - just my comp!

You could get a black bucket and stick white florist ribbon in stripes on it - that's if you need another bucket, otherwise I would go with the shoe box

....and Morrisons regularly sell off the tall black flowerpots that the fresh flowers are delivered in - about 5 pots for 99p

tesco have some large (about 1 litre size) ones with light blue lids, cost about £1.35 and small ones (0.50 litre?)with pink lids - don't know the price of these.

Think I've got the colour of the lids the right way around

They also have Kilner jars at £1.75 for the litre and £1.35 for the 0.50 litre. You could always cover the lid with paper or fabric


***aah, just re-read your post and you have 11 jars to do - might work out expensive then***

i suppose if i get a couple a week of the cheaper ones then it wont seem as
expensive
