Update: This Mini Shabby Chic Basket Tutorial was posted almost 11 years ago when I first started blogging and had no clue of what I was doing 😝
 
Please forgive the atrocious photography and content. As you can tell I was all over the place and back then the cottage community was a really tight-knit group of ladies. When we would write a post we would be writing like we would be talking to our Bff over a cup tea.
 
It was a sweet time in my blogging career and actually miss it soo much! Coming back to old posts like this is extremely nostalgic and just thinking of deleting breaks my hear. They also give me perspective and keep remaining me of how far the Lord has brought this Blog.DIY Tutorial: Mini Shabby Chic Basket
