Carry On

By 19 Comments

Confession: I was trying to come up with some kind of clever name for this post.  Failed miserably, I know but Fun. was on the iPod and the subject came from their song of the same name.

So, what am I carrying?  Utensils…plates…all the stuff I am normally trying to juggle along with opening the deck door when we have a BBQ or eat outside.

My inspiration:



My version:

I had seen one recently on the Pinworthy Projects Link Party (shown above) and knew I had to have one.  Of course, Jessica put a little more work into hers than I did because she started with an unfinished wood caddy.


Me…I found an adorable green and blue little canvas wrapped basket on the clearance aisle and thought “YAY…no painting!”  I am kind of in the middle of a paint nightmare so the idea of painting something else just wasn’t doing it for me.

Anyhoo.  I did pick up some blue gloss paint along with two ceramic planter pots.  I swiped on some of the blue high gloss paint on the rims and was donzo.


The ceramic planters along with a little yellow bucket I already had fit perfectly leaving room for plates too.

How do you get your million items needed for the table out?  A thousand little trips or do you have something like this?

    The inspiration photo is nice but I love, love, love yours, it is so cute 🙂 I usually have my utensils in a cup and then have everything on a large tray that I use to carry outside. However, your little basket is so cute I think it’s time for a change. I am pinning it 🙂

    very cute caddy! I found you via Southern Lovely link party. I’m REALLY enjoying your blog 🙂 Have you heard of Social Spark? A site that finds sponsors for your blog and pays you to write about the sponsors? I might be late on the bandwagon for Social Spark but I’m really jazzed about it so when i see blogs like yours I always want to share just in case you haven’t heard of it lol! Check it out http://izea.in/rkiy
