We asked you all to leave a comment about someone who deserved a crown.
And the winner of our crown centerpiece is...
....Debby, who told us about her very deserving sister-in-law who is always helping others, volunteering, and stops in daily to help take care of her mother in a nursing home. Thank you all for your entries. Debby, I've sent you a separate email from our Shop Lucketts address asking for a mailing address so you can crown your sister-in-law!
This week, we'd like to give away one of our popular 17" tall Paris sap buckets! What we want to know is, how would you use this bucket if you won it? Where would you put it? How would you decorate with it? Our favorite comment will have this bucket mailed to them from our online store.
Here are two pictures to help get your creative juices flowing! Please leave a comment below with your response. We will announce the winner for this giveaway next Monday, January, 21st here on the blog.
Congrats, Debby! If I won those beautiful buckets. I'd send them to my mom for her birthday! :)
ReplyDeleteI would line the inside with burlap to fold over the top and tie off with some pretty checkered burgundy ribbon. I might fill it with some greens & berries for the winter months and as the seasons change mabe put pussy willows and then a spring mix . I also think it would be fun to mount in a bsth room with a hand towel hanging out of it too... stuff some scented sachets on the bottom so the bathroom smells good. Cindy
ReplyDeleteOn a shelf in my kitchen - looks like the perfect place to hide candy away from my children! :)
ReplyDeleteI would love to win these, most likely if I won them, I would use them to decorate with each season, Spring with forsythia or tulips, summer with daises, and fall with fall foliage and winter with branches and sprigs of holly and pines and berries. Most likely will have them sitting on a side table. They are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteIf I won one of these buckets I would send it to my Ma in Louisiana. She moved away almost 4 years ago and I have only seen her once. I miss her dearly and would love to send one of these beautiful bucket as a token of my love.

ReplyDeleteI'm moving in February & these would be perfect in our new home! I'll have a beautiful fireplace that I can put these on & can decorate with some flowers or other crafty seasonal things. Sooo pretty! Thanks for this!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for choosing my entry for the beautiful crown. I went back and read the other comments and each and every one was also very deserving.
ReplyDeleteI am very excited to "crown" my sister-in-law. I have never met anyone so kind and giving as she is. This crown will shine in her home. She has two sons and two grandsons, so she has never had girly princesses in her home.
Again, thank you for giving me a special way to thank my sister in law.
I would fill my sap bucket with tulips! So pretty!!!
ReplyDeleteWe just moved here so I would LOVE to win. I would fill it with fresh flowers and sit it proudly on my mantel.
ReplyDeletewell, during the times, that it's not being used as a hat, a super secret hiding place for barbie shoes, or a "trash can" for unwanted vegetables by my two girls, i would put birch wood/twigs in it and (flowers in the spring) and put it on my front porch :)
ReplyDeleteWoW, I would love to win this, my husband loves maple syrup! I would hang it on the nearest maple tree and tap some natures goodness, OK just kidding about the tree thing! I would hang it inside my vintage gold frame and add curly willow and maybe hydrangeas! and Congrats Debby!
ReplyDeleteI would put it in the quest bathroom to hide the cleaning brush in.
ReplyDeleteI would put it in our first floor bathroom, the coloring goes perfectly.
ReplyDeleteOh I would use this at my farm market stand, it would be beautiful filled with tulips or sunflowers or snapdragons!
ReplyDeleteI think it is awesome just the way it is!! I would just stare at it in all its loveliness any where it sits!
ReplyDeleteI think the first sort commentators are most likely most desirable, That's beneficial, keep them up I will be wanting to get the subsequent blog page! furniture restoration
ReplyDeleteThese are so pretty and just the colors for my great room. I would put some dried flowers in it and place it beside the oil painting of my Old Mexican. It would also match perfectly with the Raku pots in the same niche in the media wall. Sigh!!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love this? I am trying to add a subtle french feel to my home and this would look beautiful on my new console! Katherine S.
ReplyDeleteI would put by my fireplace with Lavender in it!
ReplyDeleteLove the patina on these buckets. I would mount mine on the wall of our main bath, keep it filled with flowers & greenery.
ReplyDeleteI would use this as an uber cool umbrella bucket in my foyer! I already have similarly styled coat hooks holding anything and everything along the foyer wall and this would fit in perfectly!
ReplyDeletePut some cool looking "full length/solid" umbrellas for eclectic distinction...Et Voila!
Id love to have one of these on my farm table for my hydrangeas! Love it!
ReplyDeleteMy dearest friend was engaged last year in Paris. Her home is so LUCKETTS style and she introduced me to your store and Miss Mustard Seed of whom I am a big fan and follower now. I would have to gift this to her. Sorry, I love it but I am a giver.
ReplyDeleteI am an artist with a small studio in her home. The studio to the FIRST thing you walk into upon entering the front door. I love the colors very van gogh so I would honor it with paint brushes and the tools of my passion. OF COURSE in a pinch it would be re purposed as a centerpiece on the drink buffet! My office desk gets cleaned up an covered for a party and becomes the drink buffet!

Tina - You won! Please email shoplucketts@gmail.com. We cannot reach you due to your privacy settings. We need your address to mail this out to you!
DeleteThese are gorgeous buckets I would use one if I won to decorate my console table in my new home. They would go perfectly with my shabby chic decor and the rustic pendants I bought from you all a few months back.
ReplyDeleteI would use it for my skinny umbrellas in the entryway
ReplyDeleteI have become a fan just recently. I love all the different ideas you have and would love to have this in my new home. We have been in a small 3/1 for the past two and a half years and finally have found a bigger house closer to town. I can't wait to decorate the new house with lots of your ideas and Miss Mustard Seed. Thanks for sharing with all of us.
ReplyDeleteI have been adoring these on your site!! I would love to have one to use at our beach house as an umbrella stand. Love them!
ReplyDeleteI would use this in our new master bathroom. We are completing the remodel, which features a dresser (painted in grey milk paint) that we bought at the Spring Market that has been turned into a vanity with vessel sinks. I would use the bucket to store toilet paper, pretty soaps or something lovely!
ReplyDeleteDecorating brain freeze. Since my house is painted in this hue of blue. It would probably go perfect on my foyer console table with dried hydranga flowers or on the top shelf of my office shelves.
ReplyDeleteI'm a New Orleans girl and most NOLA girls spend most of their time in the kitchen. These are the color of the rug in my kitchen. So for a blonde like me, I don't have to think... just cook and enjoy my new kitchen utensil holder.
ReplyDeleteI adore these !!! I use ART on a daily basis to disguise those objects which are necessary and frequently used but MUST be kept out of site! We live Ian home built in 1918 which still has the original "water-closet." Because of its design, frequent cleaning is a must! I would use it to house the commode brush in style with a beautiful old plate with drilled hole for the handle..... There you go.... In place.. Covered and all!
ReplyDeleteThe colors are perfect! I would put this on my dining room table and toss in the tons of markers my kids use. It's nice and tall, so it would hold them (and hide them
ReplyDelete) well. :) We love Lucketts! <3
I'm wondering if it would work for umbrellas...if not, I think it would look fantastic holding some branches from my backyard.
ReplyDeleteI am a single teacher (28 years of teaching) who has been saving to buy her first house. My plan is to buy one in OBX. This would be a great bucket to place all the beachy things I find; then I will put it - front and center - in my little cottage. It would also be so special because I visited Paris as a poor, high school graduate. Such wonderful memories.
ReplyDeleteI would use it to hold wild flowers or the native plants from my garden. love it.
ReplyDeleteWe're redecorating the den...I purchased a lamp from Lucketts with the burlap shade and a french saying on it. Then I found the perfect console for under the mounted TV from one of Luckett's vendors that they redid...My stepson also took a photo of the Eiffel tower while in Paris that I have cropped, enlarged, framed and made into a black and white....So this piece would be perfect on the console with seasonal bouquets inside. I can picture it now :D
ReplyDeleteOoh, flowers in it and in our front office window.
ReplyDeleteI would fill them with flower of the season, Paris style. Long stemmed tulips, Hydrangeas, evergreen and holly, and my favorite world be sunflowers :)
ReplyDeleteThese would be perfect to hold my treasures--my knitting needles and crochet hooks :). Beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteThis sap bucket would have pride of place on our fireplace mantel in our little home. I can envision filling it with cherry blossoms, pussy willows, iris, bittersweet, china berry and so many other wonderful season blooms throughout the year to be a lovely reminder of our trip, adventures together and the beauty of the seasons.
ReplyDeleteMy husband and I celebrated our tenth wedding anniversary with a trip to Paris in Nov. 2011. We had planned for more than a decade to make that trip since first going together in 1999. I've been slowly picking up small, vintage items that are thoughtful reminders of Paris that we will treasure and live with for years to come.
Hmmm, this would go perfectly in MY future reading room. The family room and our upstairs TV room (both with TV's) "belong" to my husband and son. I am planning to turn a small bedroom into MY reading room, filled with things I love, and this matches perfectly! I would probably fill it with branches or pussywillows to keep in the theme of things.
ReplyDeleteI would put the bucket filled gravel and with twigs from the woods(spray paint some of the twigs with color such as silver or bright green) and a few sprays of artificial flowers from Michaels on my mantel.I am thinking I could clip a few colorful birds to the branches,for St Paddy's day some shamrock ornaments,for Easter eggs that are blown out and painted along with some tiny bunny ornaments.Summer calls for a few flowers tucked in there and there along with butterflies.Autum would be berries and mini pumkins,christmas would be perfect to display all my vintage ornaments from the branches so they can really shine.So exciting to think about all the possibilities.
ReplyDeleteWe have a really heinous ancient pink plastic trashcan that we use for umbrellas by the front door. This would be the most amazing improvement. Having special attention called to this lovely piece would make rainy days feel sunnier! It would even match the nice metal boot rack that we just added to the front hall.
ReplyDeleteUsing beautiful ribbon, this wonderful bucket will hang on one of my french doors going into my kitchen, with a beautiful scripted sign that reads, "I'm no sap! I'm planning another trip to Paris". Then, all change and extra folding money goes in. It will be interesting to see how many times I have to get it full to get to Paris. I'm going to attach a small chalkboard from a ribbon to record the euro value every day. Great for keeping focused on my "bucketlist".
ReplyDeleteWhy not a sisterhood of the traveling sap bucket? I envision this beautiful object becoming as adventurous as its very name. I would keep it for no more than three months, until the next rightful guardian presented herself to me. To her, I would pass the bucket with a note inside, written to her but really to ALL women. When she passed it on, she would do the same. All notes -- sappy perhaps -- would remain in the bucket as it journeyed, and soon enough it would be overflowing with sisterhood among not strangers but, as it's said, friends who've not yet met. Decoration enough.
ReplyDeleteoof, that is sooo pretty! I'd probably use it for flowers from my yard on my desk. Either that or holding paintbrushes...
ReplyDeletePainting my kitchen and getting granite counter tops and would love to use them for fresh seasonal flowers. Pretty towels and bamboo spoons and utensils would be great too.
ReplyDeleteIf I won one of these beautiful buckets, I would use it to sit on my bookcase with my knitting needles stored in it.
