After some searching for the past year I finally found an old shopping cart! It was already this wonderful robins egg blue.............. I was so excited and could not wait to get it home and make the liner to go inside...............I have wanted one of these for some time but they are extremely hard to find. I found it at one of our local antique malls.
THis picture is not very good but I wanted you to see the two pockets I made out of old doillies. One pocket is for my phone and wallet and the other is for a bottle of water so I won't have to dig down to the bottom every time I need them. It will be great for shopping at different venues plus when I go to Market in Dallas for the bookstore. Anyway I just wanted to show you my new fun toy on wheels! It also collapses!
Hope you all have a great friday and holiday weekend!
OMG!! I totally love this!! I have a card that I use when I go to Mt. Dora antiquing and have been wanting to make a liner for the longest time. Just need to get my butt in gear. Any helpful hints??

Oh Jackie, it is so wonderful. Like you, I learned to sew at an early age. It was a gift from my mom that never stops giving. I love the color, the liner fabric, and the bows make it look extra fancy. I have had one of those (not to steal your thunder) and you have inspired me! I am going to put great big buttons on mine and perhaps some of those beautiful bows. Lots of huggies to you

I found a trash can, like your cart, at TJMaxx and the lining is French fabric with writing on it. I think it was $20. Love it and love your cart!!

How awesome Jackie! Was the fabric already that awesome print or did you stamp it?

Of course, you would find the perfect basket! It's lovely, and your liner is perfect. Enjoy!
