It’s time for another Miss Mustard Seed’s Pick of the Month for Decor Steals! I always love doing these and this month’s pick is extra special, because it’s vintage!  I love things that are old and prefer them over reproductions or modern pieces in almost every case.  Here’s my pick…

It’s a metal olive basket from Turkey.

I love “container” pieces like this that can be used for so many things.  I immediately thought it would look cool filled with paper products.  It would also be great for magazines, small toys, potatoes and onions, shoes, whatever.  I decided to use it as a waste basket in my office…

It’s the perfect size and looks so much better than the woven one I had.

And here’s a preview of tomorrows Decor Steal…

….a pair of large pharmacy jars made out of recycled glass with rusty metal lids.

…and I wanted to give a little preview of the yarn balls coming up as a steal soon…

Fun.  Lots of good steals are coming up!

And of course, we’re having a giveaway! There will be two winners for this giveaway. One will win the olive basket and the other the pair of pharmacy jars. Here’s how to enter…
